6 ай бұрынMy gamemaster's perspective of "Vaesen", a game about nordic horror by Free League. But it's so much more than that!

Great review! I initially passed on Vaesen, mostly because I didn't think the style was going to work for anyone I game with, and I didn't realize just how much folklore was involved. I initially thought it had more of a modern Scandinavian "true crime" style (and that shows how shallow my initial look at it was). But Free League gave away the PDF for free recently, and then I picked up the solo rules. I'm going to take it for a spin myself and then maybe see if one of my groups wants to give it a shot once we're done with the Dragonbane Misty Vale campaign.

Thank you for this detailed overview! That section on how to create a mystery sounds awesome.

Vaesen is one of a few RPGs I've been curious about for a while. Thanks for posting this, as it really helps.

I ran the Dance of Dreams for my group. Half of them LOVED it, and the other half couldn't get on board with a system that wasn't built around heroic fantasy combat. So... it sits on my shelf. I personally prefer this over D&D, but I have to find players that agree

Yeah, horror games are not for everyone. On the other hand, you might find players for Vaesen, that don't like the hack&slay nature of D&D.

And now every time you monster descriptions in the Vaesen rules, you'll hear my voice. ;)

You look about 20 years younger than I expected from your voice.
