''Nordic-style larp'', or You can read more on the [[Nordic Larp]], is a term used to describe a tradition of larp game design that emerged in the Nordic countriespage. Nordic-style larp is traditionally different from larp in other parts of the world – here are a few examples of aims and ideals that are typical for this unique gaming scene:
'''Immersion'''[[File:Krigshjarta. Nordic larpers want to feel like they are “really there”. This includes creating a truly convincing illusion of physically being in a medieval village/on a space ship/WWII bunker, playing a character that is very close to your own physical appearance, as well as focusing on getting under the character’s skin to “feel their feelings”. Dreaming in character at night is seen by some nordic larpers as a sign of an appropriate level of immersion. '''Collaboration'''. Nordic-style jpg|350px|thumb|left|Picture from Swedish larp is about creating an exciting and emotionally affecting story together, not measuring your strength. There is no winning, and many players intentionally let their characters fail in their objectives to create more interesting stories. '''Artistic vision'''. Many Nordic games are intended as more than entertainment – they make artistic or even political statements. The goal in these games is to affect the players long term, to perhaps change the way they see themselves or how they act in society. We recommend this great presentation from campaign [[Nordic Larp TalksKrigshjärta]] (Heart of War).]] for more depth:{{#ev:youtube|fH_RLgR4DI4}}
