Crescendo Giocoso B-Side

The Italian Chamber Orchestra was already a big band, but with the help of its Kickstarter backers it’s gone even further, bringing together authors from all over the world to enrich Crescendo Giocoso with six more chamber LARPs. So ladies and gentlemen, allow us to present the International Chamber Orchestra and its Crescendo Giocoso B-Side!

A crescendo of 6 chamber LARP scenarios, from 2 to 9 players. You’ll need no game masters, no facilitators. 

As always, the red thread that ties our games together is not a theme or a setting, but our design approach. We put the suggestive power of the written word at the heart of it all, to give instructions, set the mood, define the characters and, above all, inspire emotion.

The games featured in this collection are a mix of our own home-grown delicacies,  written by Italian authors such as Oscar Biffi, Alessandro Giovannucci and Antonio Amato, and the work of international game designers such as Luiz Prado from Brazil, Ole Peder Giæver from Norway, Jason Morningstar from the USA, Mikołaj Wicher from Poland and Evan Torner from the USA.

Laiv.it is the self-managed space we’ve been using for years to organise chamber larp conventions open to all Italian players. An open stage for ever-new jam sessions, where you can find the handouts for each game.

• 2 players: Letters not about love
• 3 to 6 players: Listen at the Maximum Volume
• 4 to 5 players: Old friends
• 6 players: La belle confusione
• 7 to 9 players: Infinite Minutes
• 3 to 9 players: A quiet place in Hell
