'''Claus Raasted'''(b. June 19, 1979), sometimes known as the "king of Danish kid's larp," serves as the editor-in-chief of Denmark's roleplaying magazine ROLLE|SPIL and has created, run, and organized numerous larps. He is was the news editor of [[Playground Magazine]], runs has been the Chairman of Rollespilsfabrikken (The Roleplaying Factory ) in Copenhagensince 2005, and owns runs a factory for fabricating latex weaponscompany that provides larps to schools, libraries, companies, labor unions, churches and everything in between.
In 2012 he gave one of the [[Nordic Larp Talks]], titled "Larpification," about how organizers should simply use the word "larp" rather than other vaguer terms such as "interactive theater", "indrama" or other such terms."
In March 2013, he started hosting a podcast called The Roleplaying Academy podcast, that deals with a broad spectrum of larp-related issues.
== Personal Life ==
Claus is originally from Roskilde, Denmark, but spent three years in Seattle, USA from 1984 - 1987 during his childhood. After returning to Denmark, his parents gave him the Red Box (Dungeons & Dragons Basic Set) in 1987. Larpwise he started out at Gastars Weekend VI in january 1993, and has been active as a player since then and as an organizer since 1995.
In 2004 - 2005 Claus was part of the reality TV football team "FC Zulu", where he served as team captain for two years.
In 2009 he married Marie Louise Flindt Herløvsen, and added "Herløvsen" to his official name, though he still goes by 'Claus Raasted'.
Since 2006 the couple have been public advocates for open relationships, and have appeared in national media in both Denmark and Norway to talk about open relationships.
There's a 2010 documentary about Claus and Marie's relationship called "Det er så yndigt at følges ad" (It's so lovely to travel together), produced by Swedish filmmaker Maria Bäck.
