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.

[Dan Algstrand 🇸🇪 @Algstrand]

@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.

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

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.

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.

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.)

[Dan Algstrand 🇸🇪 @Algstrand]

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

[Dan Algstrand 🇸🇪 @Algstrand]

@PebbleSucking It is, and it does.

[Dan Algstrand 🇸🇪 @Algstrand]

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.

[Dan Algstrand 🇸🇪 @Algstrand]

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

[Dan Algstrand 🇸🇪 @Algstrand]

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