1987 - 37 years ago, i was 15 years old and read Sinkadus the only Swedish RPG magazine . The no.1 swedish RPG writer Anders Blixt anounced that "Partisan" would be the new RPG in 1987 from the publisher Äventyrsspel.
Partisan would be a RPG centered aroud a Occupied Sweden, severel different settings would be included for example Nazi ccupation 1942, Russian occupation during the Cold war (inspired by the film Red Dawn as well as the RPG Twiligt 2000) as well as a sci-fi setting inspired by the tv-serie V for Victory that run on teli here in Sweden by the time, I was indeed exited and was looking forward to the release...
BUT the game was postpone to april 1988 and then by the end of the year and then it got all quiet...
1997 -Jumping some 10 years, I had moved to Stockholm, Anders and I had become friends, I was helping out with his fantasy RPG Gondica as well as the viking RPG Ansgar. I ofcourse brought up Partisan and was hoping he would take up that project to, but he didnt know where the already produced material had ended up so it wasnt to happen.
2022 - Jumping a further 25ish years and as I believe Anders found some of his old Partisan material and he was now up for realisation of the old Partisan project. To my delight he asked if I wanted to help out with some feed-back on his writing, couldn´t be happier.
This time Partisan would only focus on one of Anders all area of expertise (he is after all a Swedish Grand Master of Jeoprdy) the Cold War and a Russian invassion of Sweden in the 1980´s.
2024 -Today I was to my locan game store and met up with Anders and got a copy of the finished Partisan rule book. It only took 37-years...waiting for somethins good...
You can read more about the Partisan rules and get your copy at Publisher Eloso´s site. (only in Swedish, sorry).
