Although Sanne had written and organized several prize-winning scenarios during the mid-1990s, her real breakthrough as a game designer came when she debuted at the Danish convention [[Fastaval]] in 2000. Her scenario ‘Majgækken’ was meant as an attempt to explore other genres than the ones that are conventionally associated with roleplaying games: It was set in the early romantic era, based on historical Danish personalities, and the plot revolved around the creative abilities of a few competing poets and playwrights. The scenario earned Sanne one of the prestigious Fastaval prizes, the [[Otto]].<br>
In 2013, Sanne contributed with her key scenario, ‘Son of the country’. The scenario, which was extremely personal, was about the life of Sanne's father - a German Jew who fought in WWII.
 
==Larps==
Although the Danish RPG scene was very segregated between [[Larp]] and pen and paper during the 90s, Sanne managed to divide her time equally between the two. With the exception of Agerbørn from 2009 (with co-organizers [[Jesper Heebøll]] and Elisabeth Nørresø Haase Kytösaari), Sanne's preferred medium is the chamber larp, with somewhere between 10 - 30 participants. She has worked to bridge the gap between Fastaval scenarios and larping by borrowing elements from either.
 
==Related projects==
Sanne has been involved with numerous roleplaying related projects. She was one of the main forces behind [[Projekt R’lyeh]], a Danish collection of canonic scenarios. She has also been involved with the making of several roleplaying magazines, such as the Danish magazine [[Rollespilleren]], where she functioned as chief editor for a while, and the Nordic magazine [[Playground]], where she was one of the Danish editors. For several years she has functioned as judge at [[Fastaval]].
 
==Teaching with roleplaying==
Sanne has a BA in teaching from 2003. Since then she has also studied theory of education (in Danish: ‘Didaktik’) at the Department of Education at Aarhus University. Using her practical and theoretical knowledge of both teaching and roleplaying, Sanne was involved with developing the groundbreaking methods for using roleplaying as a tool for teaching at the Danish private school [[Østerskov Efterskole]]. The school is also known as ‘the world’s first roleplaying school’.
