I haven't played any Swedish RPGs. I have Operation Fallen Reich, which is a 2009 game of a demonic Third Reich, and Project Unnamed, a BRP-based homebrew by a Swedish friend.

I also have a game that I think I was told was Danish when I acquired it, but the language appears to be Czech according to Google Translate.

What's the name of the supposedly-Danish game?

Yup, I seem to have the first edition. My original information, or my memory of it, was wrong.

Definitely not Danish. No, that sounds central European slavic to me.

Technically. GM:ed. Not really (didn't own). No, but owned.

Yes.

On the subject of "DoD-style books", we were sort of "this close" to have
Kalle Anka-tidningar (Donald Duck-magazines) be the term for for comic books.

Played a bunch of Eon and Neotech when I was much younger. Didn't really encounter Mutant and DoD until later when I think I may have already started playing GURPS.

Rolling up your character using tables and such was a pretty neat concept in Eon & Neotech; I suspect we played that 'game' almost as much as we roleplayed.

DTRPG has the Swedish-written, english language version of Tales from the Loop free today. It's very similar to all other games from Fria Ligan...

for those curious to see the difference in design approach...

Edit: Removed link because freebie is over

I don't know how much longer, but for the moment....
