Claus Raasted
Born (1979-06-19) June 19, 1979 (age 45)
NationalityDenmark
Websiteclausraasted.dk

Claus Raasted (born June 19, 1979), sometimes known as the "king of Danish kid's larp," serves as the editor-in-chief of Denmark's roleplaying magazine ROLLE|SPIL and has created, run, and organized numerous larps. He was the news editor of Playground Magazine, has been the Chairman of Rollespilsfabrikken (The Roleplaying Factory) in Copenhagen since 2005, and runs a company (Rollespilsakademiet) that provides larps to schools, libraries, companies, labor unions, churches and everything in between. Rollespilsakademiet was founded in 2006, and has been co-owned by Claus Raasted and Anders Berner since 2008.

Claus has been a contributor of talks to the Knutpunkt conference since 2002.

In 2012 he gave one of the Nordic Larp Talks, titled "Larpification," about how organizers should simply use the word "larp" rather than other vaguer terms such as "interactive theater", "indrama" or other such terms.

In March 2013, he started hosting a podcast called The Roleplaying Academy podcast, that deals with a broad spectrum of larp-related issues.

He is perhaps best known internationally for being one of the main organisers of the College of Wizardry series of larps.


Personal life

Claus is originally from Roskilde, Denmark, but spent three years in Seattle, USA from 1984 - 1987 during his childhood. After returning to Denmark, his parents gave him the Red Box (Dungeons & Dragons Basic Set) in 1987. Larpwise he started out at Gastars Weekend VI in January 1993, and has been active as a player since then and as an organizer since 1995.

In 2004 - 2005 Claus was part of the reality TV football team "FC Zulu" (int. FC Nerds), where he served as team captain for two years.

In 2009 he married Marie Louise Flindt Herløvsen, and added "Herløvsen" to his name, though he still goes by 'Claus Raasted'.

Since 2006 the couple have been public advocates for open relationships, and have appeared in national media in both Denmark and Norway to talk about open relationships.

There's a 2010 documentary about Claus and Marie's relationship called "Det er så yndigt at følges ad" (It's so lovely to travel together), produced by Swedish filmmaker Maria Bäck.
