ROsystemet

ROsystemet is a Swedish company specializing in the development and distribution of role-playing games (RPGs) and related media. Founded in 2005 by developers and designers with a passion for tabletop gaming, the company has gained recognition for its innovative and narrative-driven products. The name "ROsystemet" is a play on words, combining "roll" (from dice rolling) and "system," reflecting its focus on gaming mechanics and storytelling.

The company is best known for its *Drakar och Demoner* (Dragons and Demons) series, a fantasy RPG system inspired by classic Nordic mythology and medieval European lore. The core rulebook, published in 2006, introduced a streamlined, modular system designed for accessibility while maintaining depth. The game emphasizes character-driven storytelling, offering players flexibility in world-building and narrative choices. Over the years, the series has expanded with supplements, adventures, and themed settings, including *Drakar och Demoner: Skuggorna i Nord* (Shadows of the North), which blends Norse mythology with dark fantasy.

In addition to *Drakar och Demoner*, ROsystemet has produced other notable titles such as *Vampyr: The Masquerade* (a Swedish adaptation of the classic vampire RPG) and *Saga*, a historical fantasy RPG set in Viking-era Scandinavia. The company’s games are widely used in Sweden and internationally, particularly in gaming circles that favor narrative depth and player agency.

ROsystemet’s products are published in Swedish but have been translated into several languages, including English, German, and Finnish. The company maintains an active community through conventions, workshops, and online forums, fostering engagement among players and designers. Its approach to RPG design has influenced modern Swedish gaming culture, emphasizing collaborative storytelling and adaptable mechanics.
