Vaesen

Set in 19th-century Scandinavia, this tabletop roleplaying game explores a folklore-rich world where unseen supernatural beings live alongside rural communities. Players take the roles of investigators, folklorists and ordinary people who encounter vaesen—creatures that can choose whether humans perceive them—and must learn their nature through research, observation and interaction. Gameplay emphasizes gathering lore, interpreting myths and confronting or negotiating with the uncanny. Mechanics support scene-driven investigation, skill checks and collaborative storytelling as players document supernatural phenomena, resolve mysteries tied to local customs, and weigh the consequences of bargains with otherworldly beings.
