Every once in a while you come across a tabletop role-playing game that is really good. This is not a review of Vaesen, nor is this an actual play. It's more of an introduction of the game to those that know a little about it. Three people explaining why the like it, is maybe more accurate. Thank you to Harrigan, Phil McClory and Wayne Peacock for sharing their insights!

Are you going to play Vaesen soon?

Sean didn’t make a video on Vassen. He made a documentary.

I've been running Vaesen for 2 years. I encourage GMs to put extra thought into published adventures and to treat them as framework starting points. To let the premise shine, I expand each location's details and NPCs, anchoring them in Sweden's geography, culture, and history. As players are able to often guess mystery "whodunnits" too easily, I set up multiple issues - not just Vaesen - that capitalize on the adventure's locale, tone and themes. This all allows me to give more foreshadowing, clues, a sense of impending danger, and opportunities for players.

Love this format -- always good to hear from multiple GMs. And thanks for the super tight editing Sean, zero dead air is very rare and must have taken some time.

In Danish and Norwegian "Vaesen" means "creature". In Danish it also means the collective properties and characteristics that make up something. So basically the same as "essence" which is what vaesen translates to from Swedish . Just had to throw that out there :)

Sean, GREAT format and well done! I was a big fan of your and Brett's Gaming and BS podcast, but this is kicked up Good STUFF!

I can’t wait to try it out. Some of my friends gifted the rulebook to me for my birthday. And the more I read the more I fall in love with the setting. Almost a little bit sad that I probably will be the gm. Just because my current favorite books Protagonist would fit so perfectly in the world and It would probably be a lot of fun to play her as a Charakter in that setting. In my eyes it just fits sooo well

One of the channel's best vids to date. The documentary style and the content are top notch. Having three knowledgeable GMs bring their take on the game and riff off each other was great! More like this please.

I have played in 4 sessions of Vaesen and loved it. Last night I ran my first session. I’m hooked and look forward to running many more. This video was great as it gave me good insight into play style and rules for the game. Thanks!

Now you need to play it and publish it here. Btw, still waiting for Forbidden Lands season 2. 😅

I mean, out of the five of us, three of them in this video are in the game group so....you'd think we could make it happen.

I love the documentary style you got going. I can’t wait to play.

Great stuff. Thank you. I’m about to get started with my group. They were brand new to 5e this time last year and we have since played “Forbidden Lands,” ‘Raven’s Purge.’ I can’t wait to start Vaesen and I’ve also got “Symbaroum” on the back burner. We play 5e in between.

Lot of Free League goodness.

@redhead0122 2 ай бұрын

Symbaroum is a great one. I am a Player in a campaign in that setting and it’s so much fun. We played already for 2 years.
