Vaesen - The Silver of the Sea

Vaesen | One-Shot

About the adventure

In dark forests, beyond the mountains, by black lakes in hidden groves. At your doorstep. In the shadows, something stirs. Strange beings. Twisted creatures, lurking at the edge of vision. Watching. Waiting. Unseen by most, but not by you. You see them for what they really are. Vaesen. 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 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. This session is suitable for beginners, no previous experience is needed. Pre-gen characters provided. We will play a Mystery called The Silver of the Sea. We will travel to a Swedish archipelago and uncover the truth behind the happenings in the fishing village of Fjällbacka. Mystery, horror and suspenseful await!

The game will be run on a Foundry server, you just need to be able to log in to a webpage. Mobile and Tablet is not preferred. No Foundry account is required. Bring an open mind, an appetite to solve a mystery and have a bone-chillingly good time!

Gameplay details

My goal, first and foremost, is a safe and fun experience. The secondary goal is goosebumps, not personal trauma. I maintain an open door policy and encourage private dialogue with me before as well as during the game. We will have a debrief after the game.
