I collect, sort of. It all has to fit on one book shelf so if thats getting filled up, something needs to go. Most games I buy with the intent of playing. There are a few I bought only as collectors items, like the Japanese Full Metal Panic RPG. I cant read it, but as a big fan of the...

Many years ago, somewhere in Nordic semi-mythologies and sagas, I recall reading about a (likely fictional) battle where one army scares off their enemies, by wearing wool shirts coloured to look like metal. The other side seeing what they think is an army entirely clad in mail decides to leg it.

Outdated armour has a tendency of showing up in all manner of places. It has been some time since Ive read about Visby but I believe the grave finds showed a lot of armour remnants that was a bit behind the times. I think we often think of armour in a modern capitalist sense where people go to...

Oh, a grand Napoleonic wars campaign where you conduct espionage and covert actions, lasting from Austerlitz to Waterloo and going all over Europe

The big list of wishes: One last Rolemaster campaign. A grand, long term DoD Expert campaign. 40K-by-way-of-BRP-and-inspired-by-1e A WW1 themed campaign There are a bunch of games Id like to get to play as well, but those 4 are the big ones.

The cost also went from 2 HP in Expert to 5, so I wonder if this was an intentional change. edit. Checked Chronopia but it is just a variation of the 91 explanation.

The closest thing to something concrete is raising your scores with HP. "Höjningen är ubegrönsad och permanent och påverka öven de färdigheter som ör baserade på fördigheten". The spell Öka says "Denna ökning berör också de färdigheter som ör baserade på grundegenskaperna". It doesn't really...

The implication a few places in the rules seems to be that you do adjust skills. Ill admit, for Expert when it came up, we didnt change skills but we did change the various derived stats like KP.

They came with both cartridge slots and floppy drives right?

I was looking through old issues of a Swedish computer magazine and noticed advertisements for a shop that sold MSX games. Was there a Swedish MSX computer? Did you have one or know anyone who did? Tell me tell me!

Aha thanks!

I dont know about Nyskapande specifically but I think what stands out to me about the early Swedish games is a heavier emphasis on "believable fantasy" which would eventually grow into the culture game. This sort of thing was not unknown in English with games like Chivalry&Sorcery or Harnmaster...

Next question: Anyone lived on Gotland? I assume prices and housing costs are high there. Anything to commend it?

Dortmund plays St Pauli. Honestly, Pauli kind of deserved to win this one. They went for an odd tactic of sort of playing a sticky defensive blob and relinquished possession a lot, but Dortmund tends to falter when the opposing team doesn't do as expected. A lot of aimless passing and a lot of...

I think they can be fun but sometimes I do kind of prefer not having them. Sometimes it feels like theres a social expectation to allowing stupid things to happen "because I rolled a 20".

Buffy the Vampire Slayer It's like a total bummer but it's prom night AND we got to fight this vampire cult

Is there a good overview online of how each version compares to each other?

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.
