A '''slow take-off''' is a technique for beginning a larp, often accompanied by a [[Slow Landing|slow landing]].
==Description ==
At the onset of a larp, players do not begin role-playing immediately (as in a [[flying start]]) but take time exploring various states between "off-game" and "in-game". These may consist of role-playing flashbacks to the characters past, group meditative activities, receiving media input etc.
==Uses==
The slow take-off is intended to give players more time to prepare for role-playing, and may additionally also be used to introduce facts about the larp universe.
==History and Examples==
While earlier examples can be found, the slow take-off was formally introduced along the [[Slow Landing]] at [[Europa]], where it included role-played scenes, meditative sessions and media. [[Kjærlighet i fornedringens tid]] begins with players silently listening to a song.
