description: In 1954 the Swedish government ordered the construction of the worlds largest particle accelerator. The facility was complete in 1969 located deep below the pastoral countryside of Mlararna. The local population called this marvel of technology The Loop.Acclaimed scifi artist Simon Stlenhags paintings of Swedish 1980s suburbia populated by fantastic machines and strange beasts have spread like wildfire on the Internet. Stlenhags portrayal of a childhood against a backdrop of old Volvo cars and coveralls combined with strange and mystical machines creates a unique atmosphere that is both instantly recognizable and utterly alien.Now for the first time YOU will get the chance to step into the amazing world of the Loop. With your help we will be able to create a beautiful printed RPG book about the Tales from the Loop.This game is our third international RPG after the critically acclaimed Mutant: Year Zero and Coriolis - The Third Horizon. The lead writer is the seasoned Swedish game writer Nils Hintze backed up by the entire Free League team who handle project management editing and graphic design.Additional writing in the game will be done by the award-winning and best-selling game writer and author Matt Forbeck with twenty-seven novels and countless games published to date. Matt will be writing the alternative US campaign setting (read more below).All art in the game is of course done by Simon Stlenhag himself. Most of the art will be drawn from the pages of the Tales from the Loop artbook - many scenarios in the game are based directly on illustrations in the artbook - but the RPG will contain some new original art as well including the cover image.
