Gamist

Gamist is one of the three agendas or approaches to play in larp theories such as the Threefold Model, Three Way Model, and GNS Theory. In the gamist agenda, an rpg is approached as a game, with consequent values of fairness, challenge, and being able to succeed or "win".[1] In larp terms, this may mean solving a plot, investigating a mystery, overcoming political obstacles, or tactical combat.
Normative larp theories and larp manifestos such as Dogma 99 typically use "gamist" as a pejorative term, identifying it with "conventional" larp.[2]
