Abstract

An essential property of live-action role-playing games (LARP) is their reliance on collaborative improvisation. Players come together to improvise a collective performance. This paper advocates rethinking the technique of role-play design in response to this fact. While every LARP is essentially improvisational, improvisation can also be adopted as the basis of an innovative design methodology, and also as a medium of social learning.
