another, more recent, work with a gun to a teddy bear's head (Though I do not believe it's from the 'Tales From' series)

The gun to the teddy bear's head is from  Things From the Flood. It's a proper gun, "grandfather’s old pocket pistol" according to the story.

I'd love to play with some people. I plan to GM it for my family but I've never GM'ed a game at all before so I can't volunteer to run a game yet. Maybe after I get a little experience under my belt though.

Love the sound of a low/no combat game about solving mysteries. Been looking into running a Boxcar Children like game for young players.

I have lots of artists that I love but nobody like Stalenhag. If anybody has more recommendations I'd love...

That made me laugh about Melbourne. It actually made me feel better, too. I'll check out the movies you suggested. The only one I could think of was "Mio in the Land of Faraway" from the 80s and you can't  find that anywhere now. The major draw for the game, for me, is playing around in a ...

The Swedish setting is where it belongs, of course. I'd rather explore that in depth than go to other places. On the other hand, I am nervous that I don't know the area well enough to play effectively in that setting, whereas growing up in the US that setting would be a natural fit. I wonder how muc...
