Not sure if its available over there, but I recently read this https://www.saxo.com/dk/brigaden-den-danske-brigade-i-sverige-1943-1945_knud-jv-jespersen_haeftet_9788726099508 About the Danish brigade trained in Sweden, which could be the basis for all kinds of fun adventures. You have the...

Since this is as good a place as any, did Swedish libraries have RPG books? The library I grew up near by had a huge collection of Dragon magazine, piles of AD&D books and most of the Danish roleplaying games available for loan. I also managed to get the Warhammer 40.000 Rogue Trader rulebook...

I cant help with the freeform/con scene but I know there are some big articles out there.

Publication wise there has been a handful of games "in the old days". The years may be one or two off, they are just going off of whats available online or the copyright notice in the book for the ones I have access to. "På eventyr i vildmarken" (86) was a little booklet that was available...

This article discusses the explosion of Call of Cthulhu in Japan in particular https://www.polygon.com/tabletop-games/23584476/coc-call-of-cthulhu-chaosium-popularity-korea-japan-translation with some numbers on overall sales.

Dark Heresy "Go investigate this place which is definitely not infested by genestealers"

In Denmark, the books were sold in book stores and judging from RPG magazines it was reasonably popular, though it disappeared from the market fairly quickly. The version we got was the 1987 box + a modified version of Expert and a handful of adventure books.

I often feel these discussions spend a lot of energy solving something that isn't a problem at most gaming tables. But I also think it is fine to just roll sometimes. If a player wants to try to forage some herbs while the party is travelling, they are not always looking for that die roll to...

I have cleaned out twice. First time was probably 15 books or so, second time was about double that. What I kept was games that: A: I knew I was going to get a chance to play AND wanted to play again (or at all). B: A few collectors items that I didn't mind not having sitting around because I...

I'll be the dissent and say I am okay if the interior art pursues a new style or retreads the style from the Swedish game. My understanding is Holmgard is also releasing an RPG and I suspect that will use the Chalk art.

Thats what got me to wonder, since looking at some of the last releases they really didn't feel like "91" material.

What the topic says: What scenarios were released specifically for the 1991 version of the rules instead of Expert?

With no matches this week, current ranking of "my teams" is that Dortmund fell to 7th after losing to Union Berlin, Mainz played an incredibly tense game against St Pauli and moved up to 10th and Wolfsburg got a win against Bochum bringing them to 12th...

The new expansion for Five Leagues From the Borderlands includes rules for fishing :)

Appreciate the link, unfortunately Im in the US at present.

For some of those I wonder how much is carryover from the 8 bit and 16 bit era

This rings very true and is also a great question!

Yas. Where can I buy this?

Oh dont get me wrong, a lot of world class stuff came out of the scene and still does. And there is of course the opposite version of this question too :) Its just very interesting to me when two groups that are so similar, turn out so differently,

I always wondered why Danes never built a real RPG industry. There has been various attempts over the years to explain it, many of them pretty poor so I guess this is my thinking about it (also poor, since I still have covid). I would be interested in hearing your thoughts. After all we are...
