American games.. but setting them in Scandinavia?

I'd rather be different than indifferent.

Occasionally, I combine Nordic Noir and horror when writing for the Chock RPG. The 1980s Stockholm that I remember is an apt stage for detective adventures propelled by the badguys' greed, lust, and gluttony.

For the Twilight 2000 fans, did you play as Americans?
Ja. Vi spelade uteslutande amerikaner i Polen (och kanske nån enstaka galen ryss). Det var ju själva grejen med spelet.
Skulle jag spela ligans TW2K idag däremot skulle det dock självklart utspela sig i Sverige.

Men generellt spelade man i de beskrivna eller tänkta internationella settingsarna.
Bara svenska spel spelade vi i Sverige som setting.

I've done a few convention-oriented Hunter scenarios in Skåne called Van Helsingborg, where you play vampire hunters arriving in Helsingborg during the plague of 1711 and unraveling the mystery of the Secret Histories of Absalom Hvide and the legacy of a viking era vampire cult.

Ett av de skummaste konter-svenska val jag någonsin sett var att sätta Lex Occultum i Frankrike. Hallå, Sverige har ett jättecoolt 1700-tal med en massa egen ockultism och esoterika! Det ber om en svensk setting!
Obegripligt designval!

Var det samma sak med Götterdämmerung?

You make me recall writing that article. Way back in late 90s. An amusing undertaking. I couldn't resist poking fun at the Swedish royal family. ;)
Ah cool! Yeah, I remember the royal family in it.
Wonder if I still have the Sverox somewhere. Don't think I threw them away, but it's been well over 20 years since I played Shadowrun in Stockholm, so there's no telling where the magazine actually is (probably in a storage box at my parent's place...)
