'''Knutepunkt''' is an anual annual Nordic role-playing conference on nordic style larp which has been running since the first event in [[Norway]] in [[1997]]. It cycles through each of the nordic Nordic countries as hosts; in [[Sweden]] it's called '''Knutpunkt''', in [[Denmark]] '''Knudepunkt''' and in [[Finland]] '''Solmukohta'''. In English the translation would be ''meeting point'' or ''nodal point''. Though the conference started out strictly as an event for larp (Live action role-playing), and it's 3 founders [[Erlend Eidsem Hansen]], [[Hanne Grasmo]] and [[Margrete Raaum]] all were larp organisers of [[360]] degrees [[Nordic Style]] larps, Knutepunkt has since embraced role-playing games in a more general fashion.  Today the conference still has an emphasis on larp, but programs devoted to educational larping, freeform, blackbox larps, game theory and traditional tabletop role-playing are common.

== The '''One-Hour Parties'''. It is customary that no room party lasts for more than 60 minutes, in order to make sure that the event is dynamic and people keep meeting new people. When Knutepunkt-books ==is held in larger cabins, this rule tends to be more relaxed. Since [[2001]] '''Deaf Applause'''. During panels, debates and presentations, deaf applause (except [[2002]]waving your hands) is preferred over clapping, as it does not interrupt the Knutepunkt conferences have been accompanied speakers. '''Don't Repeat an Argument'''. In heated debates, it is very rarely necessary to repeat an argument expressed by books on larp theory generally called the "[[Knutepunkt-books]]"another person. Instead, give room to new arguments.  '''Don't Talk About Your Character'''. While everyone loves to hear about interesting larps, going too subjective makes you a bore.
