Dan Algstrand 🇸🇪

I have moved on. You can find me where the sky is blue.

Hey! I have one of those. I got it as a 50th birthday gift in 2019.

@GibletBlizzard @FreeLeaguePub You’re too kind.

I’m involved in two upcoming Vaesen books from @FreeLeaguePub: A mystery book set in Stockholm, and a setting book about Carpathia. #Vaesen #NordiskaVäsen

I’ve noticed that people are starting to get their copies of “Outside the Box” – the story of how Swedes became really good at making role-playing games. Mine arrived today. Author: @MagnusSeter, cover: Johan Egerkrans, typesetting: me, publisher: @FandrakeBooks.

I am involved in yet another TTRPG project. We are bringing Magnamund, the world of Lone Wolf, to Dragonbane. I’m onboard as graphic designer and layout guy. Link in comments.

I’ve laid out my first #Symbaroum book! ‘Agrella – City of Eternal Euphoria.’ Available as pre-order from @FreeLeaguePub. @JohanNohr created the actual graphic design brand profile.

I may be an old fart – but I, for one, like to welcome newcomers to the hobby.

@lucyorks I’ve done graphic design and/or layout for at least a dozen of those books. It’s always nice to see them in people’s bookshelves.

I brought a bookcase 🙌🏻🥰

@ARRGETSTUFFED In Sweden it was usually made from moose hide.

Historical leather armour is the Buff Coat. It was the go-to armour of the 1590-1680's. It was well regarded for its ability to take a sword-cut. Thick enough to "Stand Alone" ie. support its own weight and flexible enough to fight easily. Excellent armour.

For ‘The Ghost Knight’ adventure for The Troubleshooters RPG (from @Helmgast), I got to design a flag for a fictive country, a coat of arms for a fictive town, and a tourist brochure for a fictive castle. #TheTroubleshootersRPG #TTRPG

For ‘The Great Champagne Galop’ adventure for The Troubleshooters RPG (from @Helmgast), I got to design a fake 1930s Champagne label. This is why working with TTRPGs is way more fun than whatever I was doing at the ad agencies I used to work for. #TheTroubleshootersRPG #TTRPG

I’ve done graphic design, typography, and layout for two new adventures for The Troubleshooters RPG from @Helmgast. The Kickstarter campaign went live earlier today. (Link in comments.)

@PebbleSucking I *could* tell you, but I think the publishers would rather you buy the book. :)

@JohanNohr I spent an entire weekend playing Swedish style story games at a convention 15 years ago. It was amazing. I've tried researching the funding model that allowed those RPG clubs to build steam but no-one I've talked to (outside RPGs) has known what I'm on about.

@PebbleSucking It is, and it does.

@Algstrand @MagnusSeter @FandrakeBooks A Swedish person told me about 15 years ago there's some unique funding system for hobby groups there that allowed RPGs (and the unique, to me at least, Swedish style story games.) Please tell me that's true and this book goes into it.

Yesterday I finished typesetting a 256-page book about the Swedish role-playing game hobby/industry/wonder. It’s in English and aimed at an international audience. Written by my old friend, and industry veteran, @MagnusSeter, and published by @FandrakeBooks. Release: October 19.

@Ancient0History It does. And the answer to your quandary is “quite.”

@caesarink @MagnusSeter @FandrakeBooks It will be quite chonky: 174 × 246 × 26 mm (approx. 6 5/6 × 9 2/3 × 1 in).
