Vaesen - Nordic Horror Roleplaying Core Rulebook
 |
In dark forests¸ beyond the mountains¸ by black lakes in hidden groves. At your doorstep. In the shadows¸ something stirs. Strange beings. Twisted creatures¸ lurking at the edge of 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. A cold reach covered by vast forests¸ its few cities lonely beacons of industry and enlightenment - a new civilization dawning. But in the countryside¸ the old ways still hold sway. There¸ people know what lurks in the dark.
They know to fear it.
Vaesen - Nordic Horror Roleplaying is written by Nils Hintze and based on the work of Swedish illustrator and author Johan Egerkrans¸ Vaesen presents a dark Gothic setting steeped in Nordic folklore and old myths of Scandinavia.
