Katrine Wind is a Copenhagen-based writer and Larp designer. In 2019, she founded the independent and voluntary based Danish Larp organisation Narrators Inc. So far, the organisation only consists of her, but it has supported other larps in the larp community.
Complex and meaningful characters as well as many opportunities for emotional impact is in the core of all of Katrine's larps in a framework she calls River Rafting Design (published in the 2025 Knutepunkt book Anatomy of Larp Thoughts: a breathing corpus).
Katrine insists on a community of kindness, tolerance and respect for cultural differences in the larps she is responsible for. Concepts like "The House of Bravery" is core to all her projects. She excercises a strict time management policy at her larps and aims for clear communication as well as predictability both for participants and crew.
She has helped as a consultant on many international larps from other designers and offers this especially to newer organisers.
