Nordic Larp Wiki collects information about Nordic-style larp games and their design tools. Only tools that have been actually play-tested in games or presented in published articles are presented, this is to keep the database coherent and accessible.

Getting Started

Here are some good places to start:

Be bold. Consult the User's Guide for information on using the wiki software.

What This Is

  • A concise database over game design tools, games, groups, movements, schools and conferences.
  • A relevant and useful toolbox for larp game designers. Pretty humor-less.

What This Isn't

  • A place to promote your coming project, business or person.

Who's Behind This

Nordic Larp Wiki is made by everyone and anyone who's makes the choice to contribute. No gods, no masters, just doers. It was started by Johannes Axner who also is the technical administrator of the site. It's run completely non-profit for the benefit of the Nordic larp scene.
