Mellan himmel och hav

Mellan himmel och hav (Between heaven and sea) was a game run in Sweden in 2003.

Summary

The story of a small village marriage on a desert planet was the canvas for an exploration of how to portray gender, relationships and sexuality in roleplaying games. While fighting uses large and bold gestures, love is a glance across the room.
