Star Wreck Roleplaying Game

We're putting a Finnish roleplaying game out in English. It's based on the Star Wreck line of sci-fi parody movies, and will be published in August of this year.

It's not strictly indie, since the game will be published by Energia, the (indie) production company of the latest film, Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning.

It's miles different from most of the Turku Manifesto, Myrskyn aika, or art larps, but employed lessons learned from all of them. I'd say it's got a very Nordic feel to it, and hope it will outrage and entertain the Forge crowd, too :)

This roleplaying game book is the first time a Finnish movie has been adapted for a game book. The book will be published August 11th in Ropecon, the largest non-commercial roleplaying convention in Europe. Ropecon takes place August 11-13 in Espoo, Finland.

Hello,

Although I'm overjoyed to see more success in Finnish publishing, this thread cannot continue because, yes, it's not independent.

Here's what I suggest! Post in Actual Play about your experiences playing the game. That's totally legal here (doesn't matter if the game is indie or not), and I'll look foward to seeing it.

Best, Ron
