I finally was able to run this as a dinner party LARP and BOY HOWDY was it AMAZING!! We had 9 of us total and we did a potluck dinner, and then played the game!! I played the (narrative) role of the dowager but served mostly as facilitator / Herald of the court; an immortal character who, in the world, was serving their duty to uphold tradition and facilitate the Flower Court and ensure their legacy
Game was INCREDIBLE and everyone had so much fun!!! Took us about 5 hours to play; we did 1.5 hours for session 0, character creation/worldbuilding, 1 hour for the opening round, and 30 minutes for the second two; the rest of the time was spent doing the whisper game rounds & the valentines/rejections/proposal/assassinations (I came up with a fun method for ‘intake’ on those, because I was serving as facilitator!!)
I’ve only ever (previously) played as a play by post over discord (taking several months to finish) but I knew deep in my soul this game was MEANT to be played as a LARP— and I am SO happy that came to fruition!!!
Here is my look 😌✨🩸 I was a tech vampire MILF named Emari, she/they, the Queen Mother and Dowager & Herald of the Flower court
Hi! I'm running a game of TFC and wanted to clarify something. When it says "...each member of the court goes to the index
cards and leaves either a Proposal or an Assassination Attempt," does this mean that each member of the court can only do one action? (So in other words, you can't assassinate two people, can't propose to two people, can't propose to one person and assassinate another, and can't propose to and assassinate the same person?)
Hi, I'm sorry for the late reply! I need to reread the rules but the intention is that you can send as many assassination attempts as you want, and up to one proposal. You can't send more than one assassination to the same person. You *can* propose and assassinate someone, IIRC. I gotta double check what the text says but that's how I meant for it to be!
okay so image you're playing mafia with your friends but instead of going in rounds wondering who's who you're all flirting with each other and pretending to be the most extra and evil people you can imagine while being dumb and queer. If i was better at describing stuff I would say that's how playing flower court feels. this game has killer aesthetics, inspires role playing, and is ridiculously fun.
I got to playtest The Flower Court, and wow! It's a secret objective game, a little like werewolf, except the werewolves are all cyberpunk aristocrats flirting murderously with you.
(More games should involve a mailbox mechanic; it's very fun.)

Hi - I was wondering if you still add community copies? Thanks!
if you have ever day dreamed about being a sexy queer villain you should buy this game
I may be dumb, but I cannot find the commands for the bot
Typing in "#help" will bring up the available commands. I only found this by guessing, so you didn't miss anythin

Thank you!
Hello! I was hoping to use the Discord bot, but when I click the link (https://discordapp.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=676825279322259459), I get a 'no scopes provided' error. Is there a way to link to a description of the bot or the source code somewhere?
if you add &scope=bot to the end of the link it works!
Thank you so much! I have updated the link.
