Closed Court

Closed Court is an original, Kafka-esque TTRPG scenario written for the Fastaval convention in 1994. It is an very early attempt at a specific style of play that would over the years be refined into "Nordic freeform". It won an Otto Award for Best Handouts and came in third for the Audience Favourite Award. This version is translated from Danish (org.: Laaste Døre) by the author in 2015.
