Same Role, Different Life – Karijn van der Heij

Karijn wants us to start thinking about the way we relate to the people who have played the same character as us in another larp-run. Much attention has been given to the things our co-players can add to our experience but are these ‘other selves’ also co-players in a way, that can add something to the way we look at the character?

Karijn van der Heij has been a very active participant in the Dutch larp scene for fifteen years, where she has co-writing credits on over 30 larps in different genres. In the past five years, she has shifted much of her attention to the international games and strives to pilfer as many ideas as she can to bring into her local scene.
