Typo fixing, typos fixed: shoudl → should
Nathan first became involved in the Nordic scene with [[Dragonbane]] in 2006, for which he wrote parts of the culture briefings and metaphysics. He regularly attends Knutpunkt and Fastaval, and writes for the Knutpunkt books.
In the Knudepunkt book for 2007, he published 'The Bristol Manifesto.' Spoofing Magna Carta, this larp manifesto presents the position that players shoudl should focus on immersing in their characters, organisers should focus on simulating an internal consistent world (including modelling off-screen parts of the world, if needed), and story should be regarded as something that naturally and organicly develops from a sufficiently interesting setting.
In August 2008, Nathan present 'And Not to Yield,' the first Nordic-style larp to be both written and organised in the UK at Grand Tribunal (an Ars Magica convention). It uses 'being trapped in faerie' as a metaphor for the Nordic larp scene, a conceptual place where emotional play comes to the fore. It has since been run at Fastaval, Knudepunkt, Stabcon, Grand Tribunal US, and elsewhere.
