''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_action_role-playing_game Larp]'' is originally an acronym for Live Action Role Playing, but today it’s used as name in itself. It refers to a type of interactive game or storytelling in which the players assume a role and act as a character within the set fiction. It can be described as theater without an audience or script.
''Nordic-style larp'', or [[Nordic Larp]], is a term used to describe a tradition of larp game design that emerged in the Nordic countries. Nordic-style larp is dramatically traditionally different from larp in other parts of the world – here are a few examples of aims and ideals that are typical for this unique gaming scene:
'''Immersion'''. Nordic larpers want to feel like they are “really there”. This includes creating a truly convincing illusion of physically being in a medieval village/on a space ship/WWII bunker, playing a character that is very close to your own physical appearance, as well as focusing on getting under the character’s skin to “feel their feelings”. Dreaming in character at night is seen by some nordic larpers as a sign of an appropriate level of immersion.
