Larp Politics - Systems, Theory, and Gender in Action
Revision as of 13:11, 15 April 2016 by Johannes Axner (talk | contribs) (Added link to external article and other book.)
Politics have always gone hand in hand with larp. Whether games portray politics, or internal politics have defined the deep structures of larps, there have always been games that have discussed and been shaped by political thoughts and realities. The political Solmubook will contain articles that discuss theories, instances, and the implementation of interfaces between politics and games.
