About the project:
This spooky season, it’s time to delve deeper into the Mythic North- and beyond. Investigate a lurking evil threatening to throw the capital into chaos in City of My Nightmares and venture into Mythic Carpathia to face Vampires, Rusalkas, Baba Yaga, and other even stranger horrors of Eastern European folklore.
We offer not one but two beautifully illustrated and finely crafted expansions for the multiple award-winning Vaesen – Nordic Horror Roleplaying, along with a new Starter Set for the game and a slightly updated Core Rulebook. Get it all or just the parts you want.
MYTHIC CARPATHIA
It’s time to wander south to the busy streets of Prague, where history and myths collide in an unusual fashion. Explore the Pravda Society that deals with the phenomena from all over Mythic Carpathia and beyond. Visit old cities, deep forests and high mountains to find colorful folklore and myths.
This hardback volume will take your Vaesen adventures to Central and Eastern Europe. It includes information about the Prague branch of the Society, a gazetteer of the 
city complete with adventure locations and secret societies, a chapter with over a dozen local mythical beings including Drekavac, Golem, the infamous Baba Yaga, and of course the Vampire. Mythic Carpathia also presents three new complete mysteries to play, set in Prague, Ukraine, and Transylvania. The book will include a large separate map of the city of Prague, if unlocked as a stretch goal.
CITY OF MY NIGHTMARES
Did you think you were safe from the vaesen in the crowds and lights of the city? Think again. Unspeakable horrors lurk in the dark alleys, crawl underneath the cobblestone streets, or soar through the twilight skies above.
City of My Nightmares is a full-length campaign in four parts in which the characters are invited to the capital to investigate a series of grisly murders, only to become embroiled in a much deeper mystery involving the very origins of the Society itself and threatening to throw the city into utter chaos.
City of My Nightmares is set in 19th century Stockholm but can be adapted to London, Prague or any Gothic metropolis of the era. This beautifully illustrated hardback book will include a separate large map of Stockholm as a stretch goal.
THE STARTER SET
The new Starter Set will be designed as the perfect starting point for newcomers to roleplaying in the world of Vaesen, containing everything they need for game night including abridged rules, character sheets, custom dice, maps, and the introductory mystery The Haunting of Castle Gyllencreutz. The Starter Set will also include the Codex Vaeseniana, an abbreviated manual of vaesen to be used as a handout by players, if unlocked as a stretch goal.
