The NYU Games Center will be hosting "The Nordic Art Larp Designers" talking craft next Thursday, October 4 at 6:30p at 721 Broadway on the 9th floor. RSVP here.
From the blog:
Join us on Thursday, October 4th at 6:30PM for another exciting 9th Floor Talk with Nordic Art LARP designers, Tor Kjetil Edland, Trine Lise Lindahl, Margrete Raaum, moderated by Lizzie Stark.
They larp about cancer and the Cuban Missile crisis inside submarines, nuclear reactors, and in custom-built shanty towns, sometimes thanks to government funding. Welcome to the arty world of Nordic larp, where intense emotion, minimal mechanics — including safewords — and fabulous scenery rule the day.
Join Norwegian game designers Margrete Raaum, Tor Kjetil Edland, and Trine Lise Lindahl for a discussion about Nordic larp design, and the upcoming US run of Mad About the Boy, an all-women larp about crisis, relationships, sexuality and power. Moderated by Leaving Mundania author Lizzie Stark.
Tor Kjetil Edland, Trine Lise Lindahl and Margrete Raaum are Norwegian larp creators. They are in the US to run their game Mad About the Boy, set in a world where all the men but one have died. Jointly or individually they have also made larps about the Second World War in Norway (1942 and 1944), sexuality and relationships (Just a Little Lovin’, Screwing the Crew, Pair of Tarts) and the Wild West (Once Upon a Time) . They have organized several Nordic larp conferences.
Lizzie Stark is the author of Leaving Mundania, a narrative nonfiction book that examines the complex world of larp, or live action role-play. She’s written for The Today Show website, Philadelphia Inquirer, Daily Beast, io9.com, Good Men Project, and elsewhere.
Please RSVP here.
You have no idea how much I wish I was in NYC next Thursday.
