Over the course of thirty years, the Nordic larp community has learned a huge amount about the design and analysis of larps. Now, we open the next chapter and ask the question, “what do we do when we play?”
This book focuses on the experience, skills, and understanding of the participant. With 85 texts from 73 authors, we’re still just scratching the surface, but we hope that you'll find pieces in here that change the way you play and how you think about it.
