Larp, the Universe and Everything (2009)

"Larp, the Universe and Everything" is an anthology of articles on the theory and practice of live role-playing. It is published in conjunction with Knutepunkt, the annual larp conference rotating between four of the Nordic countries, and named in the host language: "Knutepunkt" in Norway, "Knutpunkt" in Sweden, "Knudepunkt" in Denmark and "Solmukohta" in Finland. The meaning is the same in all languages: a nodal point, a place that connects places.
