Free League Publishing (Swedish: Fria Ligan) is a game studio and publisher based in Stockholm, Sweden, formed in 2011. The company designs and publishes tabletop role-playing games, board games, and books based on licensed properties and independent works. Their games include Alien: The Roleplaying Game, Vaesen, and Mörk Borg . [1] [2]
After the Swedish publisher Järnringen closed in 2011, founder Järnringen got in touch with some role-playing game enthusiasts to ask if they wanted to take over development of the role-playing game Svavelvinter, which led to the formation of Free League Publishing. [3]
The publisher has had a series of successful crowdfunding campaigns. [4] Between 2015 and 2022, their Kickstarter campaigns managed to gather 100 million SEK (10 million USD) in total funding. [2]
In addition to winning ENNIE Awards for multiple games, Free League Publishing won the Publisher of the Year award in 2020, 2021, 2023, and 2024. [1]
