Скачать или смотреть Introduction to Live Action Role-playing Games (Larp) -- Sarah Lynne Bowman

This lecture by Sarah Lynne Bowman gives a brief introduction to live action role-playing (larp), discussing its similarities to improv, childhood pretend play, therapeutic role-playing, and simulation. The lecture discusses several common forms of larp, such as boffer, chamber, collaborative, Nordic, blockbuster, chamber/parlor/theatre style, and blackbox. While a larp can fit into many of these categories, our goal is to provide some language for players to be able to describe what they are designing or embodying.
