The Sin-filled Nights of Bratislava (”Bratislavan Syntiset Yöt”) was a showcase piece for the Post-Bjorneborgan larp writing method, an experiential play on twisted sexuality, power and abuse. It was created for 34 players and actually run with 28 players plus two non-player characters. The game was set within the thematic series of PehmoYdin (SoftCore), the previous three episodes of which had been light-hearted larps combining elements from S/M parties and murder mysteries. The theme, sex & power, was the only thing actually linking the episodes. There was next to no character or narrative continuity from one episode to the next. This was intentionally used as a design tool: by the time SNB was run, the players were used to the thematic elements and were thus expecting something very similar in style to the earlier works – even though they were told in advance that the game would be an adaptation of 120 Days of Sodom. Many people are familiar with the book, but surprisingly few know how deeply disturbing its contents actually are.

SoftCore (1998) was a simple murder mystery for 25 players, set at a private S/M-party.
SoftCore II: A Temple in Pastel Colours (1999) was a murder game as well, this time at the meeting of a cult serving Slaanesh, a pleasure-god from the pantheon of the Warhammer games. It moved the themes from exclusively fetishistic towards general erotica.
SoftCore 90210: Come to Silver (aka. “Teen Hell”) was a game of Assassin. It featured a spanking party of 14 participants, all of whom wanted to kill at least one other person present. What made it difficult was that no one wanted to get caught, but the game was played in a two-room apartment roughly 40 square meters in size, so the players had to be very clever.
