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 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. Key features: • Nine ready to use archetypes lets you create a character in minutes – or use the included life path tables and let the dice decide. • Quick and flavorful rules for combat, investigations and horror. • Rules for developing the player characters’ mansion in campaign play. • A detailed gazetteer of the Mythic North setting and the town of Upsala. • A score of bloodcurdling vaesen to encounter, all beautifully illustrated by Johan Egerkrans. • An introductory Mystery called The Dance of Dreams.
