Hello, I'm Sven Norén and I am based in Uppsala, Sweden.
I started playing, like so many else, AD&D in the early 80:ies. After about two sittings I found the system somewhat less than satisfying. I went down to our FLGS and found the new and shiny RQ2 hardback on the shelf, and the rest is history. I have tried some other games: Fantasy Hero, TFT, T&T, Cyberpunk, and Space Opera, but always came back to RQ and other BRP games.
I have done more GM:ing than playing though. My players still talk about some special moments in our games, like when Punchem the troll wrestled a were-tiger while the others magicked their weapons to gut it (made a very hard-wearing rug.) Or the famous line: "The dragon opens one eye and says 'Think fast!'" Or when the duck with DEX 18 was the only one to fall from a slippery bridge - repeatedly. (Poor sod had played Roll Master the night before and his %dice were set to roll high.)
Over time I have collected almost everything there is to collect for RQ2, and lots of the Glorantha stuff for RQ3. I am contemplating selling the latter, look out on eBay....
