==Impact==
Early concepts, techniques, and perceptions of [[playingstyle]]s in [[Norway]] are deeply rooted in the everyday situations that arise from playing non-stop for days in a forest, living in cabins heated with firewood, and making and taking food together as a large family, tribe, clan or [[ætt]].
The winterlarps moved the action away from running in the woods with rubber swords into classic home and family situations, including negotiating between groups about marriages, resources or religion. Girls were often more clever and conspicuous than the young male participants in improvising and driving the interaction between the characters in such situations. These larps were a crucial factor for the relative gender-balance of participants in Oslo; they helped recruit a majority of the first female organisers of Norway.
The traditions among both organisers and participants of the Winterlarps in Oslo provided the foundations for [[iconic larp]]s such as the 2nd World War larp [[1942]], and the westernlarps [[Wanted]] and [[Once upon a time]].
[[1942]] and [[Once upon a time]] are included in the [[Nordic Larp Book(book)]].
