Alone, they must stay alive until rescue can be achieved, and combat the threats - both from their environment and from themselves - on vastly unmapped and inhospitable planets. **//Planetfall//** is now entering its final stretch of adventures, aiming to wrap up in June 2024, but our weekend linears are still open to anyone! Linears take place **every Saturday at 11am in [[https://goo.gl/maps/o9NDkunN4zBhAzhv5|Shotover Country Park]]** (with people arriving from about 10.30am, What3Words location 'venue.begin.change') and will continue into the afternoon ending around 4-5pm at the latest. No kit, equipment, or costume is required - just bring yourself along (and something to eat, while we don't do communal food during the pandemic)! The first three events are free, after which Oxford LARP Society Membership is required. Join the [[https://discord.gg/dqHCkU3qYu|OLS Discord]] to find out more and get in touch, or email [[planetfall.larp@gmail.com]]! Linears take the form of missions foraying from the safety of the orbiting fleet of ships into the depths of the worlds, or on the ships themselves, and Players actively influence the rules and structure of their community of Survivors while seeking rescue and survival. To get a feel for what the game is about, we recommend looking at the following pages: * **Introduction Pages** - [[introgame|What is Planetfall?]] for our vision statement and style, [[Themes and Accessibility]] for our accessibility policy, and [[introlarp|What is LARP?]], [[Social Contract]] and [[LARP Safety]] rules to bring you up to the basics of LARP. * **System Pages** - The [[Combat Rules]] and [[Character Creation]] are all you need to understand how to play the game and create a character - take a look at [[Classes]] and [[Species]] to get inspired. * **Setting Pages** - To learn about the current situation, have a look at the [[borderlands|Keter Borderlands]], [[The Stranded Fleet]], the [[Latest Situation]] and [[The Incident]] which saw you stuck here. To learn about the world at large, its planets and peoples take a look at [[cooperation|The Galactic Cooperation]], the [[Core Worlds]], and the [[Species]] and the [[Factions]] within. The schedule below shows the adventures currently planned from January to June 2024, as the system and its open plots are gradually wrapped up. The Ref-run adventures during this time will have their subject matter advertised well in advance, and player availability will be checked via Discord closer to the time to attempt to make sure that characters with interest in a particular piece of plot are able to be played. However, the Saturday slots between these missions can be filled by others who want to explore other parts of the setting or wrap up non-ref plot they care about. (Note: open plot threads which have already been requested to be closed out can be found on the [[https://planetfall.oxfordlarp.com/shared:endgame_plot_threads|Endgame Plot Threads]] page.) If you would like to run a mission, please do get in touch with the Refs by contacting [[planetfall.larp@gmail.com]] or tagging them in the Planetfall channel on Discord to claim a date. [[:shared:upcoming_missions|Once you have a date you can edit the details here]].
