Back to the Stars: Future of Odysseus Awaits
The next chapter in the story of Odysseus has begun.
Our way forward is to expand our horizons: to make Odysseus a recurring event, to build a permanent spaceship, and to turn this work into a full-time commitment for the core crew and a part-time one for many more.
To learn more check out our newest blog post!
The story continues under Ellarion Tales. In the coming months, our new website will be updated with all the relevant information. This site will remain as an archive of our journey so far. Much of what is here is still relevant (especially the story and player experience sections) and those will in time also be carried over to the new site.

Odysseus was a Finnish style larp for 104 players set in an original world inspired by Battlestar Galactica. Odysseus is a story about a band of survivors battling against an overwhelming enemy in the aftermath of a devastating attack on a human colony in a distant star system. It is a journey towards the unknown. It is a story about faith, hope and sacrifice. It is a story about survival.
