As so often before when Free League Publishing creates role-playing games, it is art that inspires. This time in the form of the artist and author Johan Egerkrans, who with atmospheric and gothic works of art inspired by Nordic folk beliefs and ancient myths laid the foundation for the role-playing game Vaesen - Nordic Horror Roleplaying.
Vaesen takes place in the mythical Nordic region in the 19th century. A new world is being born from industry, but out in the dark forests, the old faith lives on among those who try to appease the creatures hiding in the shadows. Vaesen is a horror role-playing game that uses the Free League's well-known Year Zero Engine, a simple and flexible set of rules with a focus on storytelling, that has already proven itself in games such as Tales from the Loop.
