About the larp

Presented by
Craig Edgar: Craig has been a larper for 20 years. He has played in gigantic fantasy field larps to small two person games and everything in between.
As a former professional actor (now full-time dad) and improviser Craig loves the intense, and real emotions that Scandinavian larp can bring out during a game.
Craig was part of the group that brought Avery Adler’s game Ribbon Drive to the stage as an improvised play. He would love to do the same with other games.
