This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

GIMME SOME SUGAR

Hello darlings and snowflakes!
Since I've been banned multiple times for not being inclusive/non-SJW/PC and now feel I have to walk on eggshells when posting on Swedens largest rpg-forum I have now decided to seek refuge here. When it comes to English rpgs I mostly play Call of Cthulhu. I love everything horror. See you in some thread somewhere.

Welcome aboard!!!

We are a VERY inclusive RPG forum. Everyone is welcome, everyone has freedom of speech, and nobody has to agree with anyone.

And since you're Gimme Some Sugar, I shall POUR SOME SUGAR ON YOU!!

But since you're Swedish, so you get the version involving a Ninja, a Lion on lead guitar and a Robot drummer.

BTW, if you play any of the Swedish RPGs which have been translated into English, please start a thread!

Thank you for the sugarsweet video. I hope you all love me long time here. As for the newer Swedish RPGs...I have them all, but I haven't played them, apart from the excellent Western. Symbaroum has the greatest art, but I haven't played that either. I'm always the GM, sadly. And another thing is that many modern games contain a little taint of genderpolitics (like the Swedish word "hen" which is newspeak for nonbinary people). There is a small but LOUD minority of gamers that complain when women are portrayed seminude like in old Vallejo and Frazetta art (which I love).

 I prefer to play the older game Drakar och Demoner, a BRP-fantasy game that I've been playing since 1984. I'm also waiting for the new Swedish Chock (an updated Chill). And of course, the Swedish translation of Call of Cthulhu.

So the insanity has spread to Sweden too, eh?
The more clichéd my group plays their characters, the better. I don't want Deep Drama™ and Real Acting™ in the precious few hours away from my family and job. I want cheap thrills, constant action, involved-but-not-super-complex plots, and cheesy but lovable characters.

It has spread everywhere, only places 100% free of it are hellholes you don't want to even visit where they throw gays of the roofs and shout "Aloha Snackbar!" Wasn't it Sweden where they implemented feminist snowplowing?

Anyway glad to see gamers remain sane even in Sweden.

Yes, it has spread. Sometimes I think it actually began in Sweden. It's deeply rooted at least and we are in the forefront of the madness. They teach little kids at kindergarten to be nonbinary, crazy stuff like that. Everybody who objects is basically called a nazi.

I met a Swedish photographer who is an actual refugee in Poland, took away with his family from batshit crazy stuff in Sweden. Can't tell if what he told me is true because he said some crazy stuff about the government wanted to take away his kids from him and his wife, but he seemed happy to move out of his homeland.

When it comes to gaming we've bought Forbidden Lands recently, I think is Swedish or at least partly Swedish game, seem quite cool and we're looking forward playing it soon.

Yes, Forbidden Lands is a Swedish RPG. I have that one, but I don't think I'll ever play it. My players are a bit wary of new games. But the illustrations in the game are made by Nils Gulliksson who was the main artist for the Swedish rpg Drakar och Demoner that jumpstarted the hobby in Sweden back in the early 80's. Actually Forbidden Lands is reusing old art by him.

If someone is interested in old Drakar och Demoner, and has alot of translation time on their hands (or just like to look at pictures) almost all products have been released free online by Riotminds who now own the rights. Here is a working mirror link to it all:

It looks good, the art is awesome and feel I got from it was very positive. Anything you can tell about the system? I saw some percentage rolls and d6s involved, but obviously I can uderstand shit. Buddy of mine reminded me that he ordered Ruin Masters and it apparently is a new version of Drakar och Demoner?

THIS IS SO COOL!

Old Drakar och Demoner (Dragons and Demons) started out as pretty much a straight port of the Magic World part of the Worlds of Wonder box set from Chaosium. So it is a BRP system, similar to RuneQuest or Call of Cthulhu. Eventually however, the system drifted. By 1985 the expert expansion for the second edition had switched out the d100 to a d20 for basic resolution. By the fourth/fifth (depending on who you ask) edition, released in 1991, the d100 was replaced by the d20 in the basic system as well, occupations had gone from a list of skills to giving you special abilities and becoming more like classes and several other rules changes followed. The sixth/seventh edition from 2000 changed even more, and these later editions are far less popular in Sweden than the earlier editions were.

Trudvang Chronicles is also based on Drakar och Demoner IIRC, but that game just makes my eyes glaze over. Nice artwork though.
