[QUOTE="GentleGiant, post: 1924732, member: 11829"] Depending on whether you also mean "... and have rules written in English" or not, there's quite a few other RPG systems. None of the following have rules written in English (as far as I know, feel free to correct me): Germany: [B]Midgard[/B], by Happy Entz Publishing (1991) - [url]http://www.midgard-online.de/[/url] (Midgard translates roughly to Middle Earth - actually, it's a old Nordic expression and is where man lives in Nordic mythology) Note: When looking up some info on the pen-and-paper RPG game I came across this online game in the making - cool concept drawings and such: [url]http://www.worldofmidgard.com/[/url] ) Sweden: [B]Drakar och Demoner[/B] (Dragons and Demons) - Probably the most successful nordic RPG. In the beginning the rules were a simplified version of Runequest, but newer editions have expanded on the ruleset. It has just been re-released in its 6th edition by RiotMinds [url]http://www.riotminds.com/dod/dod.asp[/url] (some will recognize one of their artists, Peter Bergting, from recent Dragon and Dungeon magazines and their usual cover artist, Paul Bonner, from older GW stuff and newer Confrontation stuff - go visit the site if you love those artists, lots of great stuff!). Denmark: [B]Med Ild og Sværd[/B] (With Fire and Sword), by Ulf Eriksen (1984) - apparently a remodeled version of OD&D. [B]På eventyr i vildmarken[/B] (Adventure in the Wilderness), by P. K. Paider (pseudonym for Paul Hartvigson and Klaus Johansen - 1986) - unfortunately the "fantasy" content was scaled down because of various pedagogic prejudices. [B]Viking: et rollespil om vikingetiden[/B] (Viking: a roleplaying game about the viking age), by Mads Lunau Madsen, Malik Hyltoft and Troels Chr. Jakobsen (1990). [B]Via Prudensia[/B], by Ask Agger and Gimle Larsen - likened to a mixture of GURPS and Rolemaster. Has a setting called Holocaust, which is a mixture of Norse mythology and 2nd World War if things had gone more in favour of Adolf Hitler. Most of the focus has been placed on violence (giving it the nickname VoldsPalle (Violence Palle (a Danish male name)). [B]Fusion[/B], by Malik Hyltoft and Palle Schmidt (2000) - an updated version of the Viking rules (see above), but set in a near-future (2012) setting. A somewhat dark, noir setting with emphasis on socialcriticism. [/QUOTE]
