The Arts of LARP: Design, Literacy, Learning and Community in Live-Action Role Play
David Simkins
This ethnography of a live action role-playing (LARP) community examines the structure of play, how new participants are introduced and apprenticed into the culture, player expectations and motivations, and games as they are designed and as they are performed. The main focus is on LARP's affordance for learning across a variety of disciplines and interests.
