Against design published in the larp anthology Liminal Encounters
The annual Nordic live action role-play conference Knutpunkt/Solmukohta usually comes with an anthology on different aspects of larp.

He visited Stockholm occasionally and worked with Susan Osten and others, which also meant that his work was translated and published in Swedish.

The text is more precise than the video… I will present a scenario played at the festival Black Box Copenhagen in 2014.

An infinite scenario
I put together a short experimental scenario for my workshop at this year’s annual nordic larp (live role-playing) conference Knutepunkt, which I’m happy to share.
