Seminar about Nordic LARP at the Smiths...

Focus is shifty

yea! we are only streaming with a with an webcam

No iPhone available? ;-)

Stop the elevator ;-9

Given the consultant "dilemma" (ie. an activity that already exists in an area is not considered for serious consideration until an expert comes by) - wish there was a "How to create/write a Nordic LARP" in the US

Wishes that there was a "How to create/write/run a Nordic LARP" workshop held in the US

Plato for the win!

(Mike Edson here: Petter just addressed your comments Christopher. Feel free to pose a follow-up)

(Thanks, mike and bjorn) -

Given the hesitancy in the American culture of play (where the focus typically is on fun),what would Peter recommend or suggest to create a culture that can approach more serious topicsin a participatory manner? (Ie. Feeling it's ok to be in the role of

a person in the LA Riots or the Cherokee Trail of Tears)

Question for Petter -- I tuned in late so I apologize if this topic was already addressed. I think the popular notion of LARP is in a medieval/fantasy setting. How accurate is this? It sounds like the LARP culture you're talking about is much broader.

(Awhitehu - if you're in New England, you should consider going to Intercon M, a LARP Convention in Boston)

(mike edson here: I'll ask your question awhitehu)

thanks!

(Will there be any pan flute stuff coming up? :) )

(mike edson here: Arkland - - we'll finish with pan flute. Thank you.)

Hehehe..

Hi all friends!

(mike edson here: Arkland - - I asked the question, and apparently there will be #nopanflute today. Sorry.)

Yes, It´s Ok. I`ll find some on the Web! :)

:)

Thank you for all your great question!
