Does anyone know this European rpg?

[hellbender]

Thanks again, Maggan. I have written the company, whining and pleading (just using my natural gifts) to see if there is an outlet in the US for the game. Thank you for the links though. I would buy them from Sweden, but I went to buy Warhammer miniatures from a Swede and he said the exchange rate was deadly and Swedish banks charge a ton to convert an international money order, so I ended up just buying pieces here that he needed and trading. Somehow, I doubt the company will go for that.

As an aside, a lot of old DoD fans in Sweden have complained loudly about the new edition since it makes the game a lot closer to D&D - having levels and professions instead of a "pure" skill-based system, increasing hit points based on class/level, and so on. Kind of ironic, really

Euro games often have awsome art -- some of the Runequest stuff from France was great, and captured the flavour of Glorantha more than the U.S. material.

Also, is there any book of art for this game, or possibly a list of the books available? I keep stumbling about the site looking for a comprehensive list, however my language skills in Swedish aren't that great.

thanks!

No art book, no. This is a list of what is available:

Drakar och Demoner: Regelboken (Basic rules book)
Spelledarskärmen (GM Screen)
Rollformulär (Character sheets)
Vildhjärta ("Wild Heart", an adventure)
Drakar och Demoner Expert: Rollpersonen ("DoD Expert: The character" - rules expansion giving more options for making a character and making the system less class-based).
Jorges Bestiarium ("Jorges' bestiary", book of monsters).
Snösaga ("Snow saga", adventure, sequel to Vildhjärta)
Spelarmappen (Player's folder, contains various tables and charts for character generation + three character sheets)
Expert Spelarmappen (Expert player's folder, as above but for use with the Expert rules expansion)
Osthem ("Easthome", I think this is supposed to be the first setting book for the game).

Upcoming stuff:
Drakar och Demoner Expert: Regelboken ("DoD Expert: the rulebook", companion rules for other stuff than making a character. Can replace the core rules altogether if used with Expert: Rollpersonen).
Drakar och Demoner Expert: Spelledarskärmen (GM Screen for use with the Expert rules)
Eldsjäl ("Fire soul", adventure that's a sequel to Vildhjärta and Snösaga).

Thank you, Staffan! I will begin my collecting journey with your list in hand!

Cool Looking Game

Man,

It's games like this that make me wish I could speak my grandmothers swedish. So, Staffan and Maggan, there isn't a U.S. distributer? How would one go about getting this game? I, like hellbender, would like to learn the language, and what better way?

The easiest way would probably be to mail fragor@sfbok.se (sfbok.se = Swedish sci-fi/fantasy store) and ask them if they could set you up with some books. It would probably cost a fair bit, though.
