<p><b>New page</b></p><div>The '''Three Way Model''' or '''GDI Theory''' is a larp-specific adaptation of the [[Threefold Model]] theory of roleplaying games. Like the threefold model, it identifies three different and competing agendas or styles in larps. Two of these, [[Gamist]] and [[Dramatist]], are identical to those of the earlier model. The third, [[Immersionist]], replaces the Threefold Model's [[Simulationist]].<br />
<br />
The agendas are: <br />
<br />
* '''Game''' approaches the larp ''as a game'', with consequent values of fairness, challenge, and being able to succeed or "win"<br />
* '''Drama''' approaches the larp ''as a story'', and values creating a satisfying storyline for the participants.<br />
* '''[[Immersion]]''' approaches the larp ''as a simulation of character'', and values "living the roles life, feeling what the role would feel", as well as the internal consistency of the setting required for this.<ref>Petter Bøckman, [http://www.darkshire.net/~jhkim/rpg/theory/threefold/faq_larp.html The Three Way Model: Revision of the Threefold Model for Scandinavian LARP], q 4. April 2002. Retrieved 28 December 2017.</ref> <br />
<br />
Like the earlier model, the Three way Model is descriptive, rather than normative, and does not advocate for any particular style. While intended to describe prevailing Scandanavian modes of larping, it also noted that it may be incomplete and that there might be other agendas or modes of play.<ref>Bøckman, q 9.</ref><br />
