'''Pan''' was written by Linda Udby & Bjarke Pedersen. They presented it twice in Denmark in January 2013 and in Norway in November 2014.
[[Nathan Hook]] and Kielo Maria Blomqvist presented an updated version played in English to an international audience in Finland in April 2014. They organised another international run in the UK in November 2014. [[Nathan Hook]] co-organised a further international run in the Netherlands in January 2015, and co-organised a new expanded version with 12 players in Finland in March 2015.
Pan is a psychological horror scenario dealing with the themes of identity and nature. Players play couples attending a relationship therapy for the weekend, and are encouraged to book with a friend (not a real partner) to play a couple. The therapist-couple use a mixture of classical techniques and esoteric methods. In terms of genre the larp could be considered gothic horror based on classic literature, and psychological horror, with a modern setting. It does not fit into many conventional notions of horror, due to the lack of 'monsters.'
-NOK 2250 or NOK 1250 for the Norwegian run in November 14.
-120 euro for the Jan 15 Netherlands run.
-140 euro for the March 15 Finland run.
Logistics: The larp is run as fully catered, and normally runs in a holiday home location with modern facilities. The November 14 run took place in a 19th-century folly castle.
A review of the design was written by one of players of the April 2014 Finnish/internatonal run (in French): http://www.electro-gn.com/7463-critique-de-gn-pan
A Facebook group titled 'Pan;' also exists. It is not tied to a particular run: https://www.facebook.com/groups/172274392912858/
Pan was discussed by writer Bjarke Petersen in the Nordic Larp Talks for 2014, as an example of sketching. http://nordiclarptalks.org/post/87479170653/sketching-larp-bjarke-pedersen
