Examples

Live Action Roleplaying Games in the Nordic LARP tradition have developed Warming-Up Roleplay Exercises such as Kluddermor and Flamingos and Penguins (see Workshop Håndbogen<ref name="Munthe-Kaas"/> for descriptions of these) that can help players become more energized or overcome social inhibitions before LARP begins.
