The annual Nordic Larp Talks happened this morning. For those who don’t know, these are a series of short talks given in the leadup to Knutpunkt on varying topics. There’s a videostream on Facebook, but it should eventually be chopped up into individual talks and put on the official website.
Talks included: (list will be added to as I watch)
