A '''meta-technique''' is a loose term encapsulating various rules and narrative tools/practices which are carried out by players rather than characters but still part of the improvisational flow, such as the [[black box]], the [[monologue]], and [[shadows]]. The term started gaining in popularity and use in 2007, during the preparatory work with [[En stilla middag med familjen]], and in talks and workshops the following year at [[Solmukohta 2008]].
'''One defintion of meta-techniques:'''
''Communication in the game - between the players and not the characters or additional story that doesn’t fit in to the game time and space continuum''
Meta-techniques used to increase the drama of a larp are sometime called [[Dramachanics]].
