Whiteout: Las Vegas

Finnish RPG author and columnist Juhana writes about my game in his log:

I’ve often had the opportunity to lobby for roleplaying games as viable culture and art with culture officials and artists. Sadly, what I’ve tended to lack is anything worth presenting. I’m not going to offer fantasy schlock or WoD juvenilia, because the audience in these cases is not familiar with the genre background and also because these games tend to be devoid of any artistic and cultural merit.

I might also add that there are not that many games I’ve played in that I could describe as “good” without any reservations. A couple of one shots have recently emerged that might fit the bill. The first one is Olle’s Whiteout Las Vegas, a game of four Elvis impersonators, and the second is Juki’s Viking Line game. Of these, Olle’s game is more interesting in technical terms but Juki’s game is closer to my style.

If you are interested in getting WoLV, then go to the Vi Ã…ker Jeep homepage, which now has a rather functional wiki, yet-to-be-styled. The scenario can only be downloaded in Swedish, as of now. (I will try to find the PDF, soon as I can!)

Juhana runs a column called “No Good” in RPG.net, and he plugged my game there.
