Larp Design: Creating role-play experiences

Research output: Book/ReportAnthologyProfessional

Abstract

How do you create a new and original larp from scratch? How do you go from idea to execution and to debriefing? What do you need to know about designing workshops, character creation, worldbuilding, the soundscape, metatechniques, debriefing, and all the other parts of creating a role-play experience?

More than 60 larpwrights from ten countries contribute concise and informative advice on bespoke larp design to this practical and instantly useful book. Larp Design explores the tools and principles of designing collaborative, rules-light larp. Today this tradition, originating in the Nordic countries and centred on the annual Knutepunkt conference, is an international movement.
