The rules for the borrowed Nordic Larp book (of course there are rules) =

1. At least look at the photos, try to read the text descriptions of the larps, though the last essay in the book is, I think, one of the great arguments for "larp is art".

2. Sign your name in the front so we know who has at least borrowed it (Mr. Saltes, you, too!).

3. When you are finished, don't hang on to it but pass it on, either to someone else whom you think will enjoy it, or return it back to me so I can hand it off. I don't have anyone on the list now, but there are people I want to get it to. And preferably finish it within a month, and I'm only mildly stringent on that part.

Those are the rules. You don't have to agree with anything in there, but hopefully at least one of their larps will be inspiring, and give a better impression of what the Nordic style of larps really are. After all, they have an entry on a big boffer weekend, a Vampire campaign, and even some Call of Cthulhu larps.

Then they go into "Luminescence", which was "cancer ward: the larp" with two inches of flour all over the floor of the venue, and all players wore only underwear or their birthday suit.
