From the introduction: Secret Ante investigates what it means to be a character, perhaps even a person, through a modified version of the classic strip poker game. Instead of taking off clothing and baring our skin, we bare our souls. This is not a complex larp, but it may be a difficult one. It shouldn’t be traumatic—it’s not intended to be, anyway. This experience could be quite enjoyable. It will be revealing, no matter what. It can be used as an introduction to the character-making aspect of larping, a standalone adventure with goals, or an exercise that is part of a larger work, such as a pre-larp workshop.
