The Arts of Larp: Design, Literacy, Learning and Community in Live Action Role Playing is an ethnographic study of the Intercon larp community. It exames larp as a practice formed by that community, how new participants are introduced, expectations of play, the structure of play and the games themselves. A key focus is LARP’s affordance for learning across a variety of disciplines and interests.
