Eliot Wieslander

Template:Person Eliot Wieslander has been a gamer and larper since the late eighties, and was the chair person and a front figure for the Swedish national gamers association during the time when role-playing was still under suspicion. Eliot’s more notable larps explore love, gender and how we construct these norms. In creating these games, they invented methods to enable play around these topics. Eliots most known contributions are the Frozen moments and the Ars Amandi method.

At the first Nordic Larp Talks in 2010, they gave a talk, "Portraying Love and Trying New Genders," about the larp Mellan himmel och hav (Between Heaven and Sea).
