Pohjoismaisen roolipelaamisen seura ry julkaisee tämän vuoden Ropeconissa kaksi roolipeliä. Toinen on norjasta käännetty surrealistinen peli nimeltä Itran kaupunki ja toinen on oma pingviiniaiheinen esikoispelini Ikuisuuden laakso.
Ikuisuuden laakso on paikka, jonne pingviinit tulevat kuolemaan. Etelämantereen loputon jäätikkö on armoton vihollinen. Siellä selviävät vain rohkeimmat pingviinisankarit ja katalimmat antipingviinit.
Pingviinisankari elää elämänsä yksin. Hän on nähnyt asioita, [...]

It has been a long time since I last ran a serious tabletop roleplaying game, but yesterday was the first session of my new campaign Tuliunikko 2, a new attempt at a campaign from a year ago which I felt ran into a creative dead end.
It was fun. It felt like using muscles I’d almost [...]

(Kuva: Matti Näränen. Lyhytelokuvan Pyhää maata kuvauksista.)
Olin mukana joukkueessa, joka osallistui Uneton48-lyhytelokuvakilpailuun. Ideana oli tehdä lyhäri alusta loppuun 48 tunnin kuluessa.
Ohjasin elokuvan yhdessä vaimoni Maria Petterssonin kanssa, ja olimme eilen illalla Andorrassa palauttamassa luomustamme yhdessä tuottajamme Elina Lindroosin kanssa. Palautustiskillä oli kuumottava laskuri. Olin itse paikalla ensimmäisenä, koska olin joutunut hakemana vielä yhden allekirjoituksen näyttelijäsopimukseen [...]

Ropecon is over for now. I saw a lot of interesting programs, didn’t manage to see a lot of stuff I’d wanted to, and held a few program items of my own. My Roolipelaaja presentation experienced almost insurmoutable technical difficulties, but my larp Lumimyrsky (Snowstorm) went well. I’ll put up documentation from the game shortly. [...]

I’m starting a new tabletop roleplaying campaign, based on a campaign I ran in 2006-2007. The original was about superheroes in Hollywood, and the new one will be a remake of sorts, for new players.
In the future, I’m planning to publish a book of some kind about this, but due to the fact that it’ll [...]
