'''Alexandria.dk''' is a public searchable database of Nordic roleplaying conventions and the games (scenarios, LARPS, designer board games) run on these. The site has been under development since 2000 and was publicly announced on the Danish webforum [[RPGFORUM]] at March 1, 2003. It was based on the database model for [[Project R'lyeh]], also coded by [[Peter Brodersen]].
As of February 2023 November 2024 the site contains information for more than 1617,000 scenarios, 89,000 persons, and 2,000 500 conventions (including 850 950 from Denmark, 650 700 from Sweden, 250 from Ireland, 200 from United States, 150 from Ireland, and 100 from Norway).
Some game authors publish the full game as a digital download at the site. A diskette symbol next to a game title denotes that it has downloadable content. About 2,300 900 scenarios are available for download.
Furthermore, hundreds of periodicals such as magazines, fanzines and club newsletters have been registered with information of more than 78,500 000 articles. More than 300 450 issues of magazines have been put online for download as well.
The database is run by [[Peter Brodersen]] and opened in 2003. Several volunteers help maintaining and updating the information as editors. In 2020 the source code as well as an API to download all the content from the site was released.
