Polymorph Other

One Thursday evening at IMT Gallery, YOU will track down the villain! Travel the great spaceways of the Blue Mountain, enter the deep caverns of the Dice Cult, explore the socio-political undercurrents of an experimental World War II psychiatric rehabilitation camp! Your mission: to search for an answer to the ever-growing threat of the Present Continuum! 

Polymorph Other is a one-day-only exhibition of materials, records and activities inspired by, involving or about role-playing.
