This teaser trailer for the roleplaying game is directed by larp wright and activist Erlend Eidsem Hansen. The game can be bought at the Kolofon webshop, and the game website has a lots of material about the game, but all in Norwegian unfortunately.

Ole Peder Giæver, one of the authors, says:

It’s been described, by authoritative sources, as “LSD for nerds” and “It’s a surrealistic role-playing game. Imagine if Jorge Luis Borges and Salvador Dali had redesigned Over the Edge.”

I Regret Nothing was a Finnish-Norwegian art larp played at a city art festival in Turku, Finland in 2006. The minds behind the production were Juhana Pettersson, Eirik Fatland and myself.

Mr. Pettersson has published some documentation of the game. Go check it out!

A pirate radio station, a sheet monster, God and the Super-Ego, an underground complex and abducting passersby into the game. Read all about it.

New Voices in Art

New Voices in Art is a short larp about a group of aspiring artist the night before the opening of the exhibition ‘New Voices in Art’. The participants play a version of themselves as aspiring artists. The main themes of this game are ambition, ambivalence and aloneness. The world of modern art is used as a setting to symbolize our yearning for success and fulfillment as creative individuals. Each participant is randomly given a piece of art for the duration of the game that is their work contribution to this exhibition. New Voices in Art has previously been played in Oslo and at Knudepunkt in Denmark in 2007.

One aim of Nisjelandet is to show a selection of distinct forms of cultural expressions being shared with others through the internet. New Voices in Art as well as some other games are freely available at Chambergames.
