A team of Americans, led by [[Maury Brown]] and Ben Morrow, founded Learn Larp LLC to bring Nordic-style larp principles and experiences to the US and Canada. NWM debuted in June 2016 on the college campus of the University of Richmond, with four runs of 135-165 people. To date, more than 1,000 unique players have experienced NWM. <br /> <br /> New World Magischola is a wizard-school larp in which players portray students or faculty members attending a North American magical college. The experience runs for four days and three nights for 80-160 players, who are divided among five school houses. The larp&#039;s themes deal with identity, growing up, confronting institutions, parental and societal expectations, problematic privilege, and the ethics of magical use. Characters are written gender-neutral, with the player deciding what gender to portray. The default pronoun in the Magimundi (the magical universe) is &quot;they&quot; and NWM was among the first larps to use player and character pronouns by default on name tags. <br /> <br /> New World Magischola was the largest Nordic style larp organized in the United States, though not the first. NWM was the first larp to introduce the [[Check-in|OK Check-In]] safety mechanic, and the first to test [[Trine Lise Lindahl|Trine Lise Lindahl&#039;s]] and [[Johanna Koljonen|Johanna Koljonen&#039;s]] &quot;[[Lookdown]]&quot; bow-out mechanic. The pronoun-correction mechanic was also first introduced at New World Magischola. <br /> <br /> The larp has spawned a children&#039;s week-long larp adventure, Magischola Prep, which introduces young people ages 11–17 to collaborative larp concepts. <br /> <br /> ==Runs==<br /> June 16–19, 2016, Richmond, Virginia<br /> <br /> June 23–26, 2016, Richmond, Virginia<br /> <br /> July 21–24, 2016, Richmond, Virginia<br /> <br /> July 28–31, 2016, Richmond, Virginia<br /> <br /> December 9–11, 2016, Newbury, Ohio (Yuletide Escapade)<br /> <br /> December 16–18, 2016, Newbury, Ohio (Yuletide Escapade)<br /> <br /> January 27–29, 2017, Shawnee, Pennsylvania (Winter&#039;s Cry)<br /> <br /> June 15–18, 2017, Williamsburg, Virginia<br /> <br /> June 22–25, 2017, Williamsburg, Virginia<br /> <br /> June 29-July 2, 2017, Williamsburg, Virginia<br /> <br /> July 6–9, 2017, Williamsburg, Virginia<br /> <br /> December 8–10, 2017, Newbury, Ohio (Yuletide Escapade)<br /> <br /> June 21–24, 2018, South Hadley, Massachusetts<br /> <br /> June 28-July 2, 2018, South Hadley, Massachusetts<br /> <br /> December 7–9, 2018, Newbury, Ohio (Yuletide Escapade)<br /> ==External links==<br /> <br /> *https://magischola.com/ - Official website<br /> *https://learnlarp.com<br /> *https://magischolaprep.com<br /> <br /> [[Category:Larps]]</div>
