What is the Divine Duchy of Dis?
The Divine Duchy of Dis is a casual social larp intended to provide opportunities for color-full, laid-back, enjoyable, feel-good socialization centered on the theme of a satirical, absurdist, aristocratic court and its inhabitants.
It is, at its core, a reason for a bunch of creative adults (who are more than likely just grown-up theatre kids) to wear fun, funny & glamour-full outfits, get out of the house, and play pretend games with other creative adults in a relaxing and/or visually unique setting.
What is LARP (live action role-play)?
LARP stands for live-action role-playing, and is a type of game where participants enact their characters in real-time. It can be thought of as the place where concepts like re-enactment, improv, storytelling and gaming meet.
What kind of LARP is DDD?
The Divine Duchy of Dis is a mechanics-lite, low-to-no physical contact, ‘parlor’ larp that doesn’t take itself too seriously. Inspired by phenomena such as the Principia Discordia, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Bridgerton, Steven Universe and Adventure Time. “A bizarre, light-hearted court of interdimensional beings known as Duchesses/Dukes/Dux wear very silly outlandish outfits and do funny things together, ostensibly to rise in their farcical social non-hierarchy”.
Are y’all queer? (This sounds kinda queer.)
Yes. Also trans rights are human rights and free Palestine.
How do I join as a player?
Our player application is located here. Once you’ve filled out a player application, it’ll be reviewed by our staff, who will then contact you for a brief onboarding. Most of this process is done via our DDDiscord server.
When do game sessions happen?
Events are organized by the players, and volunteers within the player group (known as Heralds) take turns as facilitators and recordkeepers. Because of this, games are planned on a rolling basis, and will be announced both on our website and discord server as they are planned. We expect our first game to happen in late spring of 2025.
How does this LARP handle safety?
Currently we are in the process of developing our full health and safety tool kit. This includes our Code of Conduct, which can also be found in our player application.
Some of the emotional safety tools we are planning on using are:
Because this game is intended in many ways to be a relaxing break from reality, a significant amount of potentially sensitive content will be avoided at large. While DDoD is a game intended for adults only, the subject matter found in games will be decidedly ‘PG-13’, tops.
