SDS LARP is a re-enactment LARP that takes place in the 1960's Universities where protesting students try to start a revolution through the universities and colleges. Various factions of the SDS with differing beliefs versus the police, military, politicians, professors clash in a battle of wits, debates, agendas, and melees in the pursuit of freedom.
As some LARPS are just stick-jock foam fighting activities in a medieval or fantasy world, SDS LARPING is a much more varied experience. There is the SDS meetings with debates, the debates with professors and other authority figures, the psychedelic rock parties, happenings/sit-ins/shin-digs, the peaceful protests that sometimes turn into a riot, and of course, the melee clash between SDS and professors, police, military, corporations, etc. We are trying to re-create the 60's experience in a LARP with all kinds of countercultural activities. Of course, the melee action between SDS and police for example, use safe foam fighting.
