Shiva in Steel (Run 1)

“Shiva in Steel” is the laog adaptation of the mini larp of the same name written by Benjamin Fortini and loosely based on the committee game “Shiva, the Berserker Mind” by Matteo Gambaro, which, again, takes inspiration from the novel “Shiva in Steel” by Fred Saberhagen. The game took place on the Jitsi videoconferencing platform, and took place in several virtual rooms: a plenary room, where all participants would gather at certain times in the game, and other different locations between which participants could move freely, in order to make interactions between participants possible in the same way as they would in a normal larp. Like the participants, the characters were also in different rooms, connected to each other exclusively through a videoconferencing system, and located in a structure on the planet Prospero, in a dangerous situation throughout the game time, with the purpose of coordinating in video-conference the defense from the imminent attack of the mecha.
