A central meeting ground in the Nordic roleplaying scene is the annual conference Knudepunkt (en. meeting point or nodal point). The conference changes location every year within the Nordic countries and locally the term is translated into Swedish Knutpunkt, Norwegian Knutepunkt and Finnish Solmukohta.
Even though it’s a nordic thing, the impact and academic edge has put Knudepunkt on the map and every year participants are coming from all over the world.
On this years Knudepunkt year the Danish organizers had the aim to film several of the sessions which you of course should watch. Also, quite a lot of the documentation from the sessions are available on the site.
For next year, mark April 12th-15th in your calendar and prepare for Solmukohta 2012 in Finland. It’ll be worth the trip, and also, the have saunas.
