I think this category should be renamed to "larps". There is no standard practice for how to refer to individual larps in the English-language Nordic litterature - but most of them are not referred to as "games" ("spill"/"spel") in their native language but rather "lajv"/"laiv"/"rollespill"/"larp", and using the English term "game" with its connotations of competitive play is misleading. If nothing else, calling the category for "larps" should be uncontroversial. --Efatland 19:54, 29 April 2012 (CEST)
