This is the definition used by the [[Nordiclarp.org ]] websites. It's less of an academic definition and more meant as a statement to gather the scene around it in an inclusive manner.

For a [[Nordic Larp Talk]] in [[2013]] researcher and co-author of the book [[Nordic Larp Book|Nordic Larp]], [[Jaakko Stenros]] wrote a definition with help from [[Markus Montola]] and [[Bjarke Pedersen]].{{quote<blockquote>''|text=A larp that is influenced by the Nordic Larp tradition or contributes to the ongoing Nordic larp discourse.''</blockquote>|author=[[Jaakko Stenros]]}}

{{quote<blockquote>''|text=This definition may seem disappointing, or even like a cop out. It does not arm you with analytical tools that you could use, disconnected from larp practice, to identify a Nordic Larp. But Nordic Larp is not a set of instructions. It is not even a coherent design philosophy, though that is a fairly common claim online. It is a movement."</blockquote>|author=[[Jaakko Stenros]]}}

To perceive Nordic Larp as brand. Stenros tried to confine it to a 48 word brand statement. <blockquote>''{{quote|text=A tradition that views larp as a valid form of expression, worthy of debate, analysis and continuous experimentation, which emerged around the Knutepunkt convention. It typically values thematic coherence, continuous illusion, action and immersion, while keeping the larp co-creative and its production uncommercial. Workshops and debriefs are common."</blockquote>|author=[[Jaakko Stenros]]}}
