All the Mistakes I’ve Done Episode IV

Written by
Petter Karlsson

A classic program item at Knutepunkt is the “All the mistakes I’ve done” session. At Knutpunkt 2014 we once more got larp designer and producers to tell some of their dark secrets.

Sharing mistakes this round was Juhana Pettersson, Anna-Karin Linder, Troels Barkholt-Spangsbo & Hanne Grasmo.

The session was hosted by Rasmus Høgdall.

Once again four wonderful guest speakers will present, all the mistakes they have done in the name of making great or not so great larps. The premise is; that by sharing our mistakes we all learn a little bit, but most importantly we learn that failing is not the same as being a faliure, it’s part of doing, learning and bettering yourself.

In this great talk at Knutpunkt 2014, larpwright Eirik Fatland give a very good breadown of larp design.

Why do people do the stuff they do at larps, and how can you make them do other, more interesting, things? Characters! Relationships! Dramaturgy! A primer on what we think we know about larp design.

The lecturer will lecture. The audience will listen. Some will be bored and leave early. Others will stick around and discuss larp design until their brains explode.
