Vaesen & the Mythic Britain and Ireland Expansion – A Review
Vaesen’s strength lies in its mythic storytelling and folkloric roots, and it's well-suited to narrative and role-play focused players. Characters are class-based by vocation, and earning XP relies upon engaging with one’s backstory and working with others. Conflict is also narrative-based — the book is clear that killing a supernatural creature, known in-game as “vaesen,” is all but impossible. Instead, Vaesen relies on the horror elements of its genre to create tension; characters may be physically and emotionally crippled in various ways, resulting in long-lasting consequences.
