coinage

"Vilken roll man väljer beror till stor del på vilken upplevelse man är ute efter", påpekar Mikael. "Är man svartfolk är det mer spänning och fajter, medan människorna i byn mer ägnar sig åt fest och sång". Alla fem har provat på svartfolksroller. Nu har de dock övergått till människoroller. Då blir lajvandet mer inriktat på intriger.

2001 March 23, Sandra Janrell, “Förvandlingen [The metamorphosis]”, in Blekinge Läns Tidning:

"Which role you choose largely depends on the experience you’re looking for", Mikael points out. "If you play as goblinoids, it’s more about excitement and fighting, whereas the humans in the village are more focused on feasting and singing". All five have tried playing goblinoid roles. However, they have now switched to human roles, which makes the live-action role-playing more centred on intrigue.
