I share my thoughts about, and page through, the latest roleplaying game corebook for Free League Publishing, Vaesen. Is this an excellent investigative horror game deserving a place in your collection? Or should you avoid even saying “Boo!” to this corebook? You’ll find out.

Summary
Vaesen is an excellent, rules light investigative horror RPG. I especially love the artwork and the game provides a spooky, but not overly dark, look at the legends and myths of Scandinavia. Players should have fun playing through a campaign as they look to rebuild the 19th century defenders of humanity, The Society. Plenty of fun can be had for those looking for a unique - but not too alien - setting for interesting mysteries of the macabre.
