—often sourced through digital repositories like PDFcoffee or, more reliably, DriveThruRPG —is a critically acclaimed tabletop RPG by Free League Publishing that transports players to a grim, gothic version of 19th-century Scandinavia. Known for its gorgeous art by Johan Egerkrans and a rules-light investigative system, this game focuses on mystery and psychological tension over combat.
Vaesen uses the Year Zero Engine, which relies on pooling six-sided dice. While the rules are relatively light, a good GM cheat sheet keeps conditions (like Physical and Mental trauma), fear tests, and the specific rules for upgrading the players' headquarters (Castle Gyllencreutz) right at your fingertips.
