Do you have any specific RPGs in your country that arent known to broader public? Are they original and different than you can find in classic american system? Share your knowledge i'm very interested in little known rpgs.
I'l start with Poland
When tg hobby started in poland it was very difficult to get any rpg books from west so in no-time they made original "Kryształy Czasy" which translates to "Crystals of Time". And it was horrible. Running joke in our comunity is that you need a calculator per player to run it.
By modern times most popular local system is "Neuroshima" which is really basic post-apo system that everybody plays on massive house-rules 'couse basic rules are shit.
Also really popular is "Wolsung" steampunk, action oriented game for ladies and gentlemans. Really cool game, that even got translated and published in english. Basic rule is that if something is cool then it works. Works for me.
But personally, my favorite is "Klanarchia" (Clanarchy?). Magic post-apocaliptic setting in which remnants of humanity divaded in little clans fight against big demon controlled empire. Pretty dark, but not to edgy, with simple fight mechanics and generally good rulings. If you want to know anything more ask questions. I really want to know about game exlusive to your (not english speaking) country.
>Sweden We have quite a few rpgs here, some are better known like Kult and (what came to be) Mutant Chronicles, but there's a lot of smaller local IPs of various genres as well.
Our long-time runner, Drakar och Demoner [dragons and demons, D&D lol but much better rule system] has existed since 1982, has been many swe/tg/'s first roleplaying experience and has had a decent reformat in the last ten or so years. Trying to focus on a more traditional folk-tale setting (pic related), rather than the cardboard standard fantasy fare that it's been running since its inception (no, motherfucking Chronopia doesn't count).

Everyone and his mother played Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay back during the 90ties (late 90ties belonged to WoD, Earthdown and CoC). "Kryształy Czasu" never got popular around here.

Klanarchia seems cool, reminds me of Tribe8?

Holy fuck, fore-chan thinks google translate links are spam...

Nope, translating to english for reading comprehension isn't allowed for your own protection. You'll just have to put and the links below in GT yourself. :/
The list seems pretty incomplete though? Dunno why they haven't included these: >The Lone Wolf Not really a swedish IP but I believe this is an indigenous product, made here? ensamma-vargen.se/
>Neuroshima >Wolsung >Popular Pick none. Out of all Polish games, MAYBE first edition of Wild Fields ever was popular, but now average player age is around 40, that's how fucking old it is. Neuroshima is only popular as board game, but forget about role-playing system, it's considered abomination by everyone and their dog.
Kryształy Czasu never got popular anywhere. The original, floppy-delivered text was just plain horrible bunch of contradicting rules and "lore". When MAG took over and was trying to salvage this wreck due to supposed popularity, they've realised this is just not possible and killed it in cold water. And THAT created the legacy for KaCet, since suddenly everyone was talking about this awful piece of shit and how it was aborted.

>Symbaroum Actually never heard of this, but seemingly a cool different take on fantasy: A little darker, somewhat horror-influenced? jarnringen.com/symbaroum/
Seems you can't have several links in a post... Oh well.

>Svenska Kulter: Rollspelet Heavily Lovecraft-inspired but still nice locally rooted contemporary horror setting. Players are part of the various mythos cults operating beneath the rational and modern facade of society. >...aaand no article or review whatsoever that I'm able to post.
