Introduction
Knutepunkt is a meeting place, somewhere we can exchange ideas, thoughts and observations. It is a place where theory is crossing borders, and where experience blends with theory.
We want to facilitate the book being read and understood; that the theoretical contributions can be beneficial and not out of reach for any of us, especially not the first-timers at Knutepunkt. Therefore, we have borrowed some conceptual clarifications from [1], trying to make our community and its ideas more accessible. In the words of last year’s editor Juhana Pettersson (2012: 10): “Academic writing about role-playing games has its own venues, leaving us to take a more essayistic approach. I’d say the fight for credibility has been won, so we’re free to focus on what’s truly interesting”; we have also decided that we wanted our theoretical contributions to be shorter and more journalistic, and as catchy and appealing as possible.
