After years of loose talk and occasional planning, Laivfabrikken was formally founded in May [[2009]], and had by the end of the first season held 10 larps, most designed by local larpwrights and some imported scenarios such as J. Tuomas Harviainen's "[[Prayers on a Porcelain Altar]]" and Jeepen's "[[The Upgrade]]". Inspired by [[the Fønix project]] in Bergen, with a similar emphasis on short low-threshold/high-quality larps, and motivated by a desire to reach out to new players and to provide larp experiences to older players who no longer had the time to participate in the 2-5-days long high-preparation larps common in Norway. Since its creation, Laivfabrikken Oslo has inspired the creation of several other [[Larp Factory|larp factories]].
