What This Is

• A concise database over game design tools, games, groups, movements, schools and conferences.
• A relevant and useful toolbox for larp game designers. Pretty humorless.

What This Isn't

• A complete reference to anything ever thought or said about larp design.
• A who's who of the Nordic scene, this wiki is about the work and persons are only referenced through attribution.
