Unboxing Vaesen – Nordic Horror Roleplaying by Free League Publishing This is the Lindworm Pledge level featuring the limited edition of the core rulebook featuring the same cloth cover and gold foil of the original artbook by Johan Egerkrans. We also take a quick look at the art book for comparison.
The limited edition core rulebook, along with a GM Screen and map, a card pack, and a set of custom dice were part of the stretch goals for this Kickstarter campaign.
All pre-orders get early access to the full PDF of the game. The game will be available in general retail worldwide July 28th 2020.
Written by award-winning author Nils Hintze (Tales From the Loop RPG) 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. The game mechanics use an adapted version of the award-winning Year Zero Engine. The game was funded in a very successful Kickstarter last fall, gaining the support of close to 4,000 backers.
In the Vaesen RPG, the players step into the roles of 19th century investigators in the Mythic North. They have all been born with the Sight, and are able to see what normal people cannot. Embarking on journeys to remote villages in the wilderness, the players will uncover the secrets of the Mythic North. Armed with nothing but their courage, conviction, and ability to see the supernatural, they will face the creatures of the forest.
