[QUOTE="Ulfgeir, post: 9072178, member: 7015719"] Just got my copy of the game today. I opted for the Swedish version during the kickstarter, and only got the basic box. I assume that the English version contains the same things. First impression: Like most other stuff from Free League it is gorgeous. Most of the art by Johan Egerkrans. He has a very distinctive style. It is well layouted, and is easy to read. Will have to read it thoughly later to actually make sense of the rules. The game game in a sturdy box, and the cards seems to be high quality. It is a thick box, and it contains seemingly everything you need to start: [LIST] [*]Rulebook [*]A book with a 11 different adventures [*]A solo adventure [*]Gorgeous large map over the setting [*]Floorplans (one side grassy terrain and the other typical dungeon floors) [*]Cardboard cut-out figures + Stands for these [*]5 premade characters [*]5 empty character sheets (a bit odd to have the same print on both sides) [*]Dice [*]Initiative cards [*]Cards with treasures [*]Cards with improvised weapons [*]Cards with the blurb/hooks for the adventures. [*]A catalogue of all the games at the moment made by Free League [/LIST] [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_20230720_135343.jpg"]290601[/ATTACH] Had I splurged extra for the Deluxe-set I would have gotten a cloth map and a GM screen as well. The map alone would probbaly have been worth it. [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_20230720_163549.jpg"]290607[/ATTACH] First editon of Drakar och Demoner came out in 1982 and was the first Swedish rpg.
