It was developed to enable movement in and out of scenes whilst minimising disruption to play or immersion. To use this signal: # Player 1 shields their eyes with one hand, and walks into or out of the room. # Player 2 (and all other players) continue play as usual. Players who continue play as normal may employ steering techniques to ensure a play..." current

These techniques were developed around 2016 to help answer the question of whether a participant was acting out distress as an expression of their character in-game, or if something in the game had upset them out-of-game. It begins..." current

This might involve consent-based negotiation/play, using other mechanics such as paper-scissors-rock, or comparing character sheets to determine which characters' skills should succeed in a head-on contest. Many larps use self-ad..." current

The GM may make card draws, paper-scissors-rock, or some other mechanic out-of-game to add an element of chance, and then narrate the results and how they affect the player characters and the environment in-game.

It may be used by people in combination with hand signals to help delineate between what is happening within the game, versus what is happening outside of it, by alternating between this phrase and Out-of-game or "off-game".

In a Nordic larp context this may also be referred to as "off-game". In the context of an active running larp, this term will often be used to indicate which areas adjacent to the play space are not included in play, allowing players to step out-of-character, usually to attend to personal needs.
