Free League Publishing

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.

After the Swedish publisher Järnringen had folded in 2011, 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.

The publisher has had a series of successful crowdfunding campaigns. Between 2015 and 2022, their Kickstarter campaigns brought in 100 million SEK (10 million USD).
