The word '''Plot''' is used frequently amongst Nordic larpers to mean either some kind of structure designed to make things happen at a larp, or some kind of series of things that happened at a larp, or one (or many) storylines during a larp (or a combination of all).

The term '''intrigue''' is sometimes used synonymously with plot, sometimes to describe a structure that is the opposite of plot.

A larp may use a plot (or several) to describe a possible (or even a somewhat scripted or predetermined) series of actions that drive a particular story line forwards. A larp might for instance have a '''main plot''' (e.g a feud that divides a village or a struggle between two groups for dominance), and/or several '''sub plots''', that are the main story arcs for the dramaturgy during the larp. These plots may be just the setting of the larp, for the players to engage in at will, or might be connected (through incentive webs or intrigues for instance) to specific players or groups in order to establish "hooks" for interaction and storytelling.

An intrigue, as used in the larp community, is often a short but descriptive piece of information for the player (or group of players) to act upon during the larp. One function of the intrigue is to create the potential for some action happening, for one or more players (or groups) to interact or for setting up the prerequisites for a particular "ending" or conclusion to a larp. Intrigues are also commonly used to give the player a set goal that they can "accomplish" during the course of the larp. The format often tends to be instructional in nature; do '''X''' for consequence '''Y''', and you will have fulfilled the roles internal motivation.
