Stefan Deutsch

Stefan Deutsch (born July 1, 1969) plays and facilitates larps since 1994. He was one of the initiators of the German MittelPunkt larp conference and currently lives in Tanzania.

He has contributed to various Knutepunkt conferences since 2005 and also to the Nordic Larp Talks with "No training can replace experience" about his experience in using larp as a training method in capacity development.

Personal life
Stefan is from the vicinity of Bonn, Germany. In 2012 his wife started a job in Tanzania; after "commuting" for 2 years, he now lives full-time in Tanzania. They have a daughter that was born in July 2014.

He started roleplaying in 1984 and went for his first larp (Legendsy) in 1994. It was a two-week vacation in Southern France and probably the worst larp he would ever attend. Since then he played in uncountable larps and started organizing and writing rules systems for larps in 1995.
