Concept
To be redeemed, you must first sin. If your conscience is clean, what is there to forgive?
Redemption is a larp set in the last years of the Romanovs in Russia. Nobility, revolutionaries, artists and socialites wastrels come together in a yearly celebration of their faith among a religious sect that believes that redemption is the highest value of all.
And to be redeemed, you have to sin. Even if you’re the purest of souls, you know that your fate in the afterlife will not be pleasant unless you wallow neck-deep in moral filth.
