"Mutant: Year Zero" Topic

"…I've covered a number of roleplaying games here in the past, but I don't think I've talked about any Swedish games. Not all that surprising seeing as this is an international blog after all, and it has been many years since I played a Swedish rpg (although I grew up on a healthy diet of them!). Still, this month saw the release of the new rebooted version of the classic Swedish post-apocalyptic roleplaying game Mutant, now rebranded as Mutant: År Noll (Mutant: Year Zero) and created by Fria Ligan. The original, and its sequals, took place several hundred(?) years after a great apocalypse and the setting was fairly optimistic with the civilization slowly rebuilding itself. The technology level was roughly 19th century with the odd artefact from the old time lying around in one of the radiation ridden Forbidden Zones.

In Mutant: Year Zero (or simply M:0) you play in the very aftermath of the great apocalypse. Humanity has been decimated by plague and warfare and there is almost nothing left. Almost. You play as a mutated member of the Ark; a community of similarly aged people, all mutants, who have stayed hidden for as long as they can remember. Up until now the Elder have been the community leader and told them what to do, he's always been the heart of the Ark. But the Elder is dying, and food is starting to become a problem. The huge stockpiles of canned and powdered goods are finally starting to run dry and it has become clear that some exploration of the outside world has become a necessity…"

All well and good if you read Swedish.

Du menar du inte ?

I can't.

I don't play RPGs, but, I enjoyed the music. Enough to buy the album.

Reminders me of old-school John Carpenter (The Fog, Escape from New York/LA, Big Trouble in Little China).

would be interesting if it was converted to english

It does.

@Redroom
I think so too.

Cheers for the link Tango! Forgot all about posting here. :D

Well, if Mutant: Year Zero seems interesting to you don't hesitate to let Fria Ligan (the creators) know here: link

Like I mentioned in the article, they've already made some quick start rules available in English for Svavelvinter and Mutant would be MUCH easier to translate as it doesn't have a setting with strong ties to Scandinavian culture. It really would work anywhere! If there are enough people interested I think there's a good chance we'll see quick start rules at the very least and maybe even a proper relase in English.

Also, glad you enjoyed Krater! It was written very much with Escape From New York in mind and really evokes that feeling. Goes great with Mutant!

No mention my friend!. (smile).
