An Event in the context of larp can refer to either:

  • a game as a whole, or
  • an organised gathering such as a convention at which games are played or talked about, or
  • to a significant timed or scripted moment within a game.

As a moment within a game, according to Tychsen et al. (2006) events are one of the 5 basic functions through which a larp is created and controlled[1]. Events can either be player-generated, planned by organisers, or improvised, to create significant moments within the game; they are combined with temporal control, character creation, objectives, and formal rules/setting information to produce the overall desired narrative experience.
