The almost latest from Gottick Headquarters
(We apologize to our Swedish audience for writing
this in English, but we know for a fact that you guys are far better
at English than our English-speaking audience is at Swedish.)

Survived Gotchon. Again. Love to everybody. Thanks to Rany,
Emma & Sabina for keeping me company.

The year has storted slowly.
2010-01-10
A new year....
2009-12-30
Gisslaved. We love you!

Borås - you are METAL!!!
2009-10-30
They say Essen was fun. Despite us not being there in the flesh.
Thanks to the cool kids from Jofasa we still sold some stuff. You
rock, folks.
2009-09-30
Two weekends of convention mayhem. Again.
2009-08-02
The English version of Scoop works very well now. But we will
not be able to get it out in time for Essen this year. Unfortunately
and blame it on the world economy.
2009-06-15
An English version of Scoop is in the works and we might get it
out in Essen this year if gramar and world economy allows. If we
can somehow kick the German gramar into line a German version might
happen too.
2009-05-30
Lincon - allright. This is how we looked this year.
2009-04-20
Thanks Rick Loomis for flashing our stuff at the GAMA show.
2009-04-15
THANK YOU GOTHCON!!! Gothenburg was fine as usual. Thanks everybody
who came by. Thanks to Christan and Randy for helping out as usual.
And thanks Tove for introducing us to the a Gotenburg concept: the
bar.
2009-03-15
II've written some stuff for Fortress
Ameritrash. Go over there and have a look if you are seriously
bored.
2009-02-01
2009 was supposed to be a blast, but with our local currency (Swedish
Krona) sinking like a rock our chances of getting the planned games
out in time is sining too. We pay for the printing in Euro and right
now the Euro is up 20% since last year. A lof of percent if you
deal with a product that costs 10 Euro in the end..
2009-01-10
2009 will be a blast. At least we thougth so.
2008-12-24
Merry everything.
2008-11-02
Back from Borås, baby. Alive. Despite icy roads and playing
Vampire the Eternal Struggle for ever and ever. Thanks everybody
for a fine weekend.
2008-10-28
Survived Spiel. Essen was a blast, again. And exhausting. Though
less people came this year a lot of people came by to see the Gottick
stuff after reading about us on the web. Very encouraging. Thanks
to all of you.
This makes Anders Fager an official List Person to be tracked down by the List People. Take note. Turning into a List Person is a big thing in these circumstances.

Thanks everybody who came by at the Stockholm Spelkonvent. Both
at friday's party and at the lecture I held eight hour later. It
was great to be able to show the first parts of the artwork for
the Monster Under the Bed.
2008-08-05
KATRINEHOLM - WE LOVE YOU. Say what you want about Kattrineholm
- supposedly the most boring small town in Sweden- but they run
the cooziest convention on the planet. And all other planets too.
Thank you everybody.
2008-07-28
Talavera, a game I made for MultiMan Publishing, has been
nominated for a Charles S. Roberts Award for Best Pre-World War
II Boardgame. Nice. Read more here.
2008-07-21
Spent a nice weekend in Halmstad. This year the torrential rains
were limited to about half the time we were there. A great improvement.
Thank you all who helped out with Fat Load. The game is really getting
fatter by the minute.
2008-07-02
Man, Falköping was great fun. If more people knew what can
happen in a small Swedish town we would have hordes of people marching
towards them. Thanks everybody.
2008-05-05
We had a fun & loooong weekend in Linköping. The convention
had a super hero theme and Fanny The Blue Girl won the Gottick Best
Costume Contest by a mile. We also had the pleasure to hang out
with JKLM Games who came to visit from the UK. All in all a great
weekend.
2008-03-24
Supermarket Psycho released at Gothcon. Thanks Elin, Randal,
David & Anna-Lee for helping me out.Thanks to everybody that
came to see us.
2008-03-15
CELLPHONE BACKGROUNDS Incredibly
silly, but yes.
2008-03-04
Gary Gygax dies. Sad. Without his creations my part of the world
would look very different.
2008-02-20
Februari meant flu and crappy weather and flu and conventions and
a cold. Thanks Randal, Tomas & Dan for keeping me sane.
2008-02-01
Kill Someone has been renamed "Supermarket Psycho" and
will hit the world around easter. Come to our glamourous release-party
in Gothenburg, easter weekend. WHY RENAMING? There is no
point in have a name that will reduce sales. Just that simple. Besides
the games has already been renamed five times or so.
2008-01-10
"Kill Someone" - first cads on display.

2007 - 11 - 20

hotel rooms and the nightlife of downtown Falköping? To please
you all!!! And we are having fun. The roadshow will never stop.
2007 - 10 - 23

2007 - 07 - 10
We had a lot of fun at Halmicon despite all the rain. (We have
never seen so much water outside of a lake. Ever.) Still we got
around to try out some Die High and try some other good ideas. And
the toast was fantastic.
2007 - 07 - 08

2007 - 03 - 19

All the "black plastic box games" are sold out. If you own a copy,
keep it. It will be worth a lot in a decade or two.
2007 - 01 - 25
Due to stuff we did not ask for but had to pay for we have experienced
some server problems. Thanks for your patience.

2006 - 12 - 18
Merry Christmas & all that.
2006 - 12 - 15
This is how we will do it. The web shop will start taking pre-orders
in early January. Available for ordering will be R.A.F, Comrade
Koba & Happy Landing plus one or two more new games. The release-schedule
will then depend on which games that catches your interest the quickest.
2006 - 11 - 20
Drakattack has unfortunately been dropped from our schedule.
2006 - 11 - 06
Thanks to all of you that helped us make the BSK Convention such
a nice experience. You all proved that one can show ten guys and
gals a deck of cards and say "yes, this is the new game - lets figure
out how it plays."
2006 - 10 - 25
We have survived Essen 06. The crush sure was incredible. Thanks
to all of you who came by to have a look.
2006 - 10 - 10
Check Please is out. Hooray for us!
2006 - 10 - 01
Comrade Koba & R.A.F has so far sold quite well in the Mark I Basement
versions. Hence we will move on and make larger print runs of both
games. This means two things. Foremost, we did not go broke after
one very costly production and, if you own one of the Basement Mk
I copies; lock them up in the family vault.
This time this change in production means that both games will be
out of circulation for three or four weeks. In the future we will
cut down the delay between the Mk I and Mk II runs, but right now
we are still learning.
2006 - 09 - 20
We are happy to schedule Check Please & Drakattack for release in
mid October. Both games will only be available in Swedish for this
first run.
2006 - 09 - 10
We will eventually start a mail order service. Though we do recommend
that those of you living in Sweden were we have a working distribution,
pester your local store to carry our games. Gaming stores is what
brings new people to the hobby. Keep them alive.
