Tales from the Loop (Swedish: Ur Varselklotet) is an alternative history science fiction tabletop role-playing game designed by Nils Hintze, based on the art of Simon Stålenhag. It was published in 2017 by Free League Publishing, the international arm of Swedish game and book publisher Fria Ligan AB, and Modiphius Entertainment. The game is built upon the Year Zero Engine created by Tomas Härenstam, who also served as the editor and project manager.^[1]

The role-playing game was originally a stretch goal on a Kickstarter campaign for publication of the art book,^[2] but was then further funded by a Kickstarter campaign by Fria Ligan AB, who surpassed their crowdfunding goal and raised a total of 3,745,896 kr from 5,600 backers.^[3]

The stand-alone expansion Things from the Flood (Swedish: Flodskörden), based on Stålenhag's art book of the same name, was also funded by a Kickstarter campaign, raising a total of 4,249,903 kr from 5,824 backers.^[4]
