Living Imagination of New England is in a nonprofit organization that puts on a LARP. LIONE began in 1991. A creative group got together with a vision of a dark fantasy LARP that combined elements of intense boffer combat with conflict resolution. Players faced a world riddled with conflict and face incredible odds -- making their very survival challenging and their successes all the sweeter. Over the years, the board of directors and the structure of the organization has changed, but one thing has remained the same — providing an immersive, challenging, and enjoyable LARP experience for its membership. While we have gone through several campaigns, there are common threads that hold them together. These threads can be found in the religious system, the metaphysics, and the game lore. Directors and writers work to weave together various stories and plot. There is something for everyone, whether you are a long time player, re‐joining the community after a hiatus, or coming for the first time.
