Vaesen Expands Its World of Mysteries
By August Tales
Free League Publishing is gearing up for an exciting 2025 with new additions to the captivating universe of Vaesen. The team has confirmed two fresh expansions are on the horizon.
Mythic Carpathia and City of My Nightmares
Fans of Vaesen have much to look forward to. Mythic Carpathia will plunge players into the folklore of Central and Eastern Europe. The adventure promises to bring haunting encounters with creatures like Vampires, Rusalkas, and the notorious Baba Yaga.
In Mythic Carpathia, players navigate the vibrant streets of Prague. The game intertwines history and myth within the bustling city. This hardback expansion will offer a treasure trove of folklore and thrilling challenges. The volume includes three new adventures set across Prague, Ukraine, and Transylvania. Players will enjoy large, detailed maps of Mythic Carpathia and Prague if stretch goals unlock.
Meanwhile, City of My Nightmares changes the scenery to 19th-century Stockholm. This new campaign entangles players in a web of murder mysteries. It can easily adapt to other Gothic metropolises like London or Prague. The setting offers a full-length exploration of urban terror and mystery. A large map of Stockholm and a gripping newspaper handout await players if stretch goals are hit.
New Starter Set and Updated Core Rulebook
Furthermore, Free League is releasing a new Vaesen Starter Set for those new to roleplaying. It’s packed with essentials like abridged rules, character sheets, and custom dice. The set also features the mystery “The Haunting of Castle Gyllencreutz,” ensuring a thrilling start for newcomers.
Additionally, an improved Core Rulebook addresses feedback from loyal players. It provides a more streamlined gaming experience, rectifying various imbalances. Optional simplified rules for combat enhance the game, making it accessible for newcomers and seasoned players alike.
Paving the Way Forward
The launch of these expansions begins with crowdfunding campaigns, kicking off on October 29. These initiatives ensure that player voices and community support shape the final products. These new expansions promise to further enrich the Vaesen storyline with intricate mythological landscapes and engrossing narratives.
