Anybody got a copy of Chaosium's 1980 game-rules booklet Basic Role-Playing? And the 1982 Worlds of Wonder boxed set, specifically the Magic World booklet? I'd love to have a look at them (photocopies or a brief loan would be fine), since combined and translated they became the first Swedish role-playing game, Drakar och Demoner (1982). It turned me on to gaming when I was twelve. I haven't played DoD in years, but It would be great to get to compare the Swedish rules with the original Chaosium products.

Jag kollar med en av de som gorde Drakar & Demoner. Han är fortfarande spelintresserad och kan mycket väl ha sparat sina ex. Det fanns även andra inspirationskällor tror jag. Jag fastnade aldrig riktigt i spel-träsket så själv har jag ingen riktig koll.
Om inte kan jag fråga honom om de gjorde några ändringar och i så fall varför.
Ãterkommer.
