TEXT: YOU NEED:
  Maybe you grew up where you knew what a gunshot
  sounded like & how to get out of the way from the
  time you were young; maybe you grew up owning
  weapons and firing them with proper ear and eye
  protection; maybe you grew up where the only
  context you know gunfire from is the movies. Fate
  doesn’t care about your relationship to guns today:
  you’re an American that has finally ended up in a
  mass shooting situation somewhere in the United
  States. 
   
  You have no means of escape that doesn’t risk fatal
  injury. You have nothing with you but your phone.
  Cell networks are overloaded with people - like you -
  trying to reach their loved ones and vice versa. You
  are terrified, in hiding, and have no idea how long
  you have or if anyone will help you.
   
  You can record one last message. What is it?
  A phone that can record video
  Location deck (next page)
  A six-sided die
  A coin
  YOUR SITUATION:
  •  I LOVE YOU MOM  •
  •  I LOVE YOU MOM  •
  A short single player larp about the inevitability of gun violence in America.

  If you don’t like your roll, reroll or just pick
  something that works better for you. Consider
  how you found yourself in that place, if there’s
  anyone else with you, if you got there by
  yourself or if someone else helped you.
   
  Decide who you are recording your video
  for. If you’re having a difficult time deciding,
  make a Loved One roll with the six-sided
  die for a suggestion:
   
  1 - Parent/Grandparent
  2 - BFF
  3 - Sibling
  4 - Aunt/Uncle/Ommer/Pibling
  5 - Child/Niece/Nephew/Nibling
  6 - Partner/Spouse/Love
   
  Close your eyes and take a moment to put
  together the details you’ve chosen and filled
  in. Put yourself in the moment. Open your eyes
  and record the video you would leave your
  loved one.
   
  Take a minute to take care of yourself if you
  need it. Have a glass of water, a cup of tea,
  play a song you love, find your breath.
   
  Flip the coin. If you get Heads, you survive to
  delete the video. If you get Tails, you were
  shot. Flip the coin again. If you get Heads,
  you survive with physical injuries to match your
  mental and emotional ones. If you get Tails,
  you are killed. You are a name and photo on
  the news.
   
  Call or text the person you made the video for
  and tell them you love them IRL, if you’re
  ready.
   
  NB: Why are public schools missing from the
  Location deck? Schools now have students
  silence their phones and not send updates in
  case the shooter is able to track their locations
  through news reports and social media. Students
  wait in silence until the drill - or event - is over.
   
  If you wish to share your video, please tag

  HOW TO PLAY:
  Find a quiet place to play.
   
  Choose a Location from the Location deck. Think about the
  details: what concert would it be, which nightclub, why would
  you be shopping, which class would you be attending, etc.
   
  Make a Shelter roll with the six-sided die. The number
  corresponds with the place you've found to take shelter:
   
  1 - Under desk/table/car
  2 - Behind chairs/pew/row of seats
  3 - Behind bar/counter/shelves
  4 - In closet/storage container/refrigerator
  5 - In bathroom/locker room/changing room
  6 - In classroom/office/storeroom
