Vaesen - Starter Set

In dark forests and deserted mountains, by black lakes and hidden woods. At your doorstep. Something stirs in the shadows. Strange creatures. Twisted creatures, lurking at the edge of your vision. Watching. Waiting. Unseen by most, but not by you. You see them for what they truly are. Vaesen.

Welcome to the Mythical North—Northern Europe of the nineteenth century, but not as we know it today. A land where myths become reality. Vaesen – Nordic Horror Roleplaying, based on the acclaimed artbook by Johan Egerkrans, presents a dark Gothic setting steeped in Norse folklore and the dark myths of old.

This starter set is designed as the perfect starting point for roleplaying in the Mythic North, where the characters are members of a secret society whose members have the Sight to see vases.

This box set contains everything you need for your game night:

*Brief rules for action skill checks, combat, damage, and fear.
*The complete introductory mystery, "The Apparitions at Gyllencreutz Castle," lets players explore the Society's headquarters on their own.
*The Codex Occultum, the old diary of the Society of Vases, serves as a reference for the players.
*Five pre-generated and illustrated characters.
*A large, full-color map featuring the Mythic North on one side and the city of *Upsala on the other.
*A map of Gyllencreutz Castle.
*Three handouts.
*Five rule cards.
*Ten initiative cards.
*Ten custom engraved dice for the game.

CONTENT WARNING: Old folktales often contain dark and adult themes, and the Vaesen RPG explores such themes as well. This is a horror game and not suitable for children, at least not without the game master's approval.
