(Kris-) Tina Leipoldt (born 24th July 1979) started larping in the late 1990s. In 2003 she started desigining and organizing larps together with a bunch of friends. Tina attended her first Knutepunkt in 2013 and contributed to the Nordic Larp Talks with "the Empire larps back" together with Larson Kasper in 2016. She has been training Syrian Peace Activists on (Mini-) larp techniques and uses larp often as a training method in her professional life.
Personal Life
Tina holds a M.A. in Social Anthropology/Sociology and has been living in Asia, Africa and the Middle East where she worked as a humanitarian and development expert in various crisis and conflicts. She always tried to find a way to continue larping and roleplaying either locally or via digital means. Tina moved back to Germany in 2015 and is now living in the forest Taunus together with her husband, her son and three crazy cats. She works as an advisor on transitional aid and the humanitarian-development nexus for the German Government.
