About the adventure
In a mythical 19th-century Scandinavia, the characters find that a past experience opens them to the second sight. They are now able to see supernatural creatures that usually remain hidden to the majority of people. The characters learn of a secret society of people with similar abilities. But the society collapsed years ago, and only one person remembers what happened. The characters must solve a mystery in order to reclaim an ancient castle and re-establish the society to preserve the balance between the supernatural and the mundane worlds.

Creating your character
Premade characters available. Returning players are welcome to level up their characters by taking an additional talent. (This is not a big power spike, in Vaesen, it does not create a power imbalance). You can check out some Vaesen YouTube how to play but it is not absolutely necessary. New players are more than welcome.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Discord. No camera. Voice only. Theatre of the mind - I think this works best for Vaesen/ Horror because nothing can be as scary as what we imagine. You can check out some Vaesen YouTube if you want. Full onboarding can happen during play. Come ready to role play and solve a mystery. This will involve collecting clues and thinking about things strategically/ logically.
