We’re excited to share two events — a larp and a workshop — the Erasmus EDGE project will run in April in Tampere, Finland before Solmukohta, the Nordic larp conference! These events are connected to our Tech Toolkit.

• Meet Me Halfway is a short larp scenario for 10 people about soul mates reincarnating into new lives and finding one another who can only communicate through specific technologies.
• The Larp and Tech Workshop will discuss the pros and cons of different technologies in larp, brainstorming ways in which tech can be used in design and implementation effectively.

Date: April 11, 2024 before Solmukohta
Times: 10-12 (larp) and 13-14:30 (workshop)

Location: Scandic Tampere Koskipuisto, Tampere, Finland
Room: Restaurant Cabinet

Content warnings (larp): Motion sickness from VR, romantic and intimate play, death, loss

Participants can join either the larp, the workshop, or both. Each event has its own sign-up form. If the events are full, we will perform a lottery and place potential participants on a waitlist.

Feedback will be anonymized and integrated into a Tech Toolkit along with the larp script, which will be freely available in the coming year.

Lunch is available between events at the hotel or near the venue. Coffee and snacks will be served during the events.

The workshop is part of the Erasmus+ Cooperation Partnership grant Empowering Game Design Education with Transformative Role-playing Games (EDGE), a collaboration between Uppsala University, Turku University of Applied Sciences, Chaos League, Dragons Nest, and Avalon Larp Studio.
