In dark forests and forlorn mountains, by black lakes and hidden groves. At your doorstep. In the shadows, something stirs. Strange beings. Twisted creatures, lurking at the edge o f vision. Watching. Waiting. Unseen by most, but not by you. You see them for what they really are. Vaesen. Welcome to the Mythic North – northern Europe of the nineteenth century, but not as we know it today. A land where the myths are real. Vaesen – Nordic Horror Roleplaying, based on the acclaimed art book by Johan Egerkrans, presents a dark Gothic setting steeped in Nordic folklore and the dark myths of old. This starter set is designed to be the perfect starting point for roleplaying in the Mythic North, where the characters are members of the secret Society whose members have the Sight to see vaesen. This boxed set contains everything you need for your game night: Condensed rules for action skill tests, combat, damage, and fear. The complete introductory mystery The Haunting of Castle Gyllencreutz, letting the players explore the headquarters of the Society itself. Codex Occultum, the Society’s old journal of vaesen to be used as a resource for the players. Five pre-generated and illustrated player characters. A large full-color map with the Mythic North on one side and the town of Upsala on the other. A map of Castle Gyllencreutz. Three handout sheets. Five rules reference cards. Ten initiative cards. Ten engraved custom dice for the game. CONTENT WARNING: The old folk tales often expressed dark and mature themes, and thus the Vaesen RPG explores such themes as well. This is a horror game and not suitable for children, at least not without the Gamemaster first modifying the content. PDF Included!
