Channel: Nordic Larp Talks
Date: 2021-10-12

The start of play is awkward for many folks — but why? In this talk, we'll explain what a "map" is and give some tips to help make the start of your next larp work better for you.


Eleanor Saitta is a hacker, artist, designer, writer, and barbarian making a living and vocation of understanding how complex, trans-disciplinary systems and stories fail and redesigning them to fail better.  She has been active in the larp scene since 2011 and has edited two KP books, The Foundation Stone of Nordic Larp and What Do We Do When We Play?  She currently lives in Finland, where she's part of the team behind The Attic, a space for queer performance, politics, art, and music.
