Concord Olympus

Zeus, king of the gods, is dead…

Deities, demigods, heroes and monsters have come together to determine who will lead them, but old grudges die hard.

Those languishing in the shadows are making plans of their own, while others call in centuries-old debts,

hoping to crown a new demiurge—one they can use to reshape the world in their image.

The king is dead. Long live the king!

Concord Olympus

An immersive, live action roleplaying experience inspired by film noir and classical Greek mythology

January 2 - 5, 2025

Brooklyn, New York, USA

About the Game

Concord Olympus is a neon-drenched, neo-noir, where gods, heroes and monsters walk the modern streets, hidden from mortal eyes. Empowered by the memories of myths and deeds, they have subtly shaped humanity for eons, but now their time is drawing to a close. Zeus, greatest among them, has fallen, a feat many did not believe possible, and the remaining members of their community have drawn together out of necessity. They must crown a new leader before the Diasia—the ancient festival honoring the gods—has ended, or all will suffer a collapse of power.

Players will portray gods, heroes and monsters, vying for scraps of power and settling old scores, for two days in the borough of Brooklyn in New York City. The game begins on Friday afternoon, as factions amass and alliances are made, before culminating in an explosive finale on Saturday night, where the new king of the gods is crowned. An informal mixer will be held on Thursday evening, and directed workshops on safety, mechanics and character relationships will take place on Friday afternoon, before the game begins.

Characters & Factions

Characters for Concord Olympus are all drawn from classical Greek mythology and epics, and belong to one of five factions:

Olympians - The most powerful of the gods; effectively Concord Olympus’ ruling class

Deities - Gods and spirits of lesser power; hailing from a more primitive time, but no less divine

Monsters - Creatures much maligned and dangerous; they serve as foils to gods and heroes alike

Heroes - Those rare, god-touched mortals; their deeds and mishaps have become the stuff of legends

Titans - The gods before the gods; once prisoners of a great war called the Titanomachy who now walk free

Mechanics & Safety

Concord Olympus is a freeform '“secrets & powers” larp that uses consent-based mechanics. We operate from a “defender first” mentality, where the character defending against a potential action has the most control in how the scene will play out. We also use safety and calibration techniques such as the “Back Up Method” and “I Need to Get Some Air,” mechanics, all of which will be explained in detail—and practiced—during our pre-game workshops.

A mechanics document, detailing each of the techniques used in the game, can be found here. All players should also familiarize themselves with our Code of Conduct, which applies to all Concord Olympus participants and staff members.
