user summary
This is a special issue of Roolipelaaja, as this was also the program booklet of Ropecon 2006 convention and was given for free at the 'con. The issue is "doublesided", meaning that half of the issue is printed upside down, so if starting to read from the issue cover one sees the regular articles of Roolipelaaja, but if starting from the backcover, it is actually the program booklet of Ropecon.
