Introduction
Welcome to Planetfall, a proposal for the Oxford LARP Society weekly linear LARP in 2022 in which Players play stranded explorers a borderlands space system cut off from the rest of their home. Alone, they must keep alive until rescue can be achieved, and combat the threats - both wrought by themselves and from the planets themselves - on vastly unmapped and inhospitable planets.
Linears will take the form of missions foraying from the safety of the orbiting fleet of ships into the depths of the worlds, with Players actively establishing the rules and structure of their community of Survivors while seeking rescue and survival.
