Eliot Wieslander

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

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