Drakar och Demoner (“Dragons and Demons”) was published by Äventyrsspel (“Adventure Games”) in 1982, becoming Sweden’s first and biggest fantasy RPG, set in its own world of Ereb Altor.  The first edition began as a translation of Chaosium’s Basic Role-Playing and included anthropomorphic ducks borrowed from Glorantha and Runequest.  It has grown and changed through many editions over the decades.  The publisher rebranded as Target Games and introduced the dark fantasy realm of Chronopia in the ‘90s, later spun off into its own miniature wargame.  RiotMinds published several editions in the 2000′s, one translated as Ruin Masters in 2019.  In August 2022 Fria Ligan / Free League launched a new Kickstarter for an edition of Drakar och Demoner with an English translation as Dragonbane.

Dragonbane is a translation of Drakar och Demoner, Scandinavia's first and biggest tabletop RPG, originally launched in 1982. This new and reimagined edition has one foot firmly planted in the heritage of decades of Swedish gaming and the other in the modern and innovative game design for which Free League Publishing is known worldwide.

This week, let’s have a look at some horror games of the 1990s, awash with secret histories, conspiracies and pre-millennial tensions. First up, Kult! This is the first English edition (imported by Terry K. Amthor, of Shadow World fame) from 1993, but the original Swedish game is from 1991.
So, reality is actually a metaphysical prison constructed by the Demiurge in order to suppress humanity’s inherent divinity (see: Gnosticism, Phil Dick). However, the big D (the Demiurge, not Phil) has vanished and his illusion is starting to slip, giving humanity the chance for…something. Fulfilling that potential isn’t a walk in the park and even if players somehow attain it, the world beyond the illusion is pretty horrible — the haunted Metropolis, the burning Inferno, the swirling Vortex.
Like many ‘90s RPGs of this sort, players take the role of characters on the fringes of society who congregate in a sort of occult underground. The main mechanic here is mental balance. Those with zero are centered, normal, bought in to the Demiurge’s lie. Extremes in either direction open up the path to divinity. On the positive side are things like caring for people or throwing oneself into creativity. On the negative side are things like being exposed to supernatural horrors, indulging in drugs, witnessing violence and so on. It is far easier to tailspin into the negatives, which are often exacerbated by each character’s Secret (suffering from a mystical curse, for instance). It is likely that characters like this will burn up in the course of their investigations long before they have to worry about divinity. Which is sort of the point and half the fun (the long arc of mental balance is more like a freeform guideline rather than a usable mechanic anyway).
Kult was originally part of the greater web of Basic Role-Playing derived games (coming to the system via Drakar Och Demoner, but now it is Powered by the Apocalypse). It’s unapologetic approach to morality, religion, sex and substance abuse sparked a bit of a moral panic over the game in Sweden, while in the States it got a mature readers warning. The benefits of having weathered the Satanic Panic, I guess.

I was under the impression that Mutant Chronicles and Mutant: Year Zero had nothing to do with each other beyond sharing the word "Mutant" in the title
But apparently both originated from the Swedish role-playing game Mutant, a post-apocalyptic RPG similar to Gamma World but using a system similar to Basic Roleplaying
It was published by Target Games (who also published Drakar och Demoner, the Swedish fantasy RPG currently licensed to Fria Ligan / The Free League and with an English translation named Dragonbane on the way). Apparently in the 90s the good people at Target Games decided that it would rule if they took thei game to space and they released Mutant R.Y.M.D. in 1992 (note: I have no idea if that title is actually an acronym in game but rymd is Swedish for "space" so it's probably just that) which then spawned Mutant Chronicles in 1993. Mutant Chronicles was effectively a continuation of Mutant R.Y.M.D. but also aimed at an international audience and for some reason also implemented elements from their gnostic horror game Kult (while stripping away all the overtly religious elements).
Mutant Chronicles turned into a whole multimedia franchise with an RPG, a CCG, multiple miniatures games, a video game for thr SNES and Sega Genesis/Mega Drive, comics, and a whole ass independent film!!
Anyway at some point Paradox acquired the license and licensed it out to Modiphius who made a new edition of Mutant Chronicles using their 2d20 engine and they also did a separate licensing deal with Fria Ligan / The Free League who made Mutant: År Noll (Year Zero), an RPG which was more in line with the original Mutant, and that eventually spawned that pretty okay tactical CRPG with the funny duck and pig

kickstarter
First published 40 years ago in 1982, Free League has a Kickstarter through September 22, 2022, for a new edition of Drakar och Demoner / Dragonbane in Swedish and English. They currently publish The One Ring, Tales from the Loop, ALIEN, Mörk Borg, Twilight: 2000, and more.
Johan Egerkrans’ art appears throughout, and his work is some of my favorite game art since the ‘80s. The white-haired figure on the cover appears to be a nod to some past editions’ reuse of Elric art.
A free QuickStart PDF is available in either language at the Kickstarter page.
