March 2020 – Larp House

Solmukohta 2020, the world’s premier conference for Nordic larp, has been cancelled as the world locks down for COVID-19.

Instead, the organizers of Solmukohta are bringing the lectures and presentations online! These events are open to the public. You don’t even need a ticket to Finland! Set your alarm clock* and hear from some of brightest minds in larp.

*Note that all times are Eastern European Summer Time, 8 hours ahead of Minnesota. The schedule runs Friday morning though early Sunday morning. Be ready to wake up at 3 am this weekend!

Have you ever seen a reality TV cooking competition? Each team has to cook up a larp using a secret ingredient. Then the “dishes” are rotated between teams of chefs, who have to keeping working on a “meal” they didn’t start.

LarpJam is great for roleplayers, people interested in game design, and folks who like collaborating in small groups.

In a matter of hours people with no larp design experience can create awesome, fully-playable larps!

What

LarpJam, a collaborative game-design workshop where you create your own live action roleplaying games, for 6 or more participants

Facilitated by Katherine Shane

This LarpJam will be run completely online! We’ll use real-time collaboration software like Google Hangouts and Google Docs. You’ll need to have an Internet-connected device that can run these applications, probably something with a keyboard so you can chat and write at the same time, and a webcam.
