We made this playlist which captures some of the themes and atmosphere we are aiming for in designing this larp. Enjoy! (or don't, it really goes places)
Dark and Lonely Water is a small horror larp taking place later this year. It's not a direct inspiration for Dissolution, but we heard about it while planning this game, and we think it's doing some very exciting things while playing on some similar themes - so it may well be of interest to you if you're reading this website!
Dissolution is run by Erin Marsh, Dale McClurg and Jon Fry.
All of the game team have written plot and encounters at Empire LRP for a number of years.
Erin and Jon have also run experimental larps both together and individually, and Dale is part of the team organising The Gritlands.
We'd also like to thank Claire, Cole, Elle & Joe for striking ominous poses in the woods on our photoshoot.

We also have a community Discord server with a space for asking questions.
