EmptyEpsilon is used for a couple of interesting large scale or commercial immersive experiences, including the Odysseus larp and Bridge Command. I’ve written up both:

Bridge Command: https://mssv.net/2024/07/31/bridge-command/

Odysseus larp: https://mssv.net/2025/03/19/the-collective-ambition-behind-o...

There’s a discussion on HN about the latter, too: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43414992

Odysseus is the one of the few things to get me truly excited an quite some time. I will most likely never be able to attend one but by god I would love too.

I want to try get involved in the local event scene to get some experience. I think the only way I will get to experience something like Odysseus it is to run my own.

How well does it scale up?

Do you know which EE scenarios do they run?

I’d imagine it’s highly customised for both. They also have live GMs running the game, too.

We wrote our own custom scenarios. They are all in our (forked) EmptyEpsilon repo: https://github.com/OdysseusLarp/EmptyEpsilon/tree/master/scr...
