== Preface ==
At Solmukohta 2012, [[Lizzie Stark]] gave an excellent rant that for [[Nordic Larp]] to be accessible, the players should [http://elizabethrstark.com/2012/04/22/write-a-rulebook-already/ write a damn rulebook]. This page is to be a draft of what that rulebook should look like.
== Introduction ==
American Larps often have rulebooks, such as the [http://nerolarp.com/download.php?view.3 NERO LARP Rulebook (9th edition)] or [http://interactivitiesink.com/larps/bolarp.html The Book of LARP]. The [http://nordiclarp.wordpress.com/ Nordic Larp] book, edited by [[Jaakko Stenros]] and [[Markus Montola]], is a good first step - but the ideal espoused is a short field guide for someone from another larp tradition to come into a Nordic Larp and understand what to expect and what to do.
== Preparation ==
A vital part of Nordic Larp is the attitude which you come into it with.
If you have a character in advance, you should costume for this character. Unless otherwise specified, you do not need period materials, but the costume should look convincing.
== Play ==
Once play has begun, any off-character talk it to be avoided as much as possible.
=== Conflict Resolution ===
There are often no mechanics for resolving things like fights or other conflicts. Instead, the outcome is decided by social rules. (''These should be elaborated here.'')
