Solmukohta 2012 | 2012 / States of Play: Nordic Larp Around the World

The annual Solmukohta book is back in the form of States of Play: Nordic Larp Around the World, featuring the best of larp-related thinking from the Nordic countries and beyond. The book features design articles, larp documentation and forays into the strange, new frontiers of participatory culture.

With contributors from countries like Belarus, the U.S. and Poland, along with the traditional Nordic contributors, it also represents a new generation of Nordic Larp where the scene is no longer about place, but about ambition and a shared vision of what larp can be, whether your game is played in Helsinki or Palestine.

The book features 40 articles, 400 pages in color and a DVD of larp documentation. The book is edited by Juhana Pettersson, with graphic design by Tommi Kovala and DVD design by Mika Kettunen. It's published by Pohjoismaisen roolipelaamisen seura in participation with Solmukohta 2012.

It will be published as a free PDF edition prior to the actual book launch. The book will be officially released on Wednesday 11th of April, 2012.
