The eerie adventure campaign is based on the popular podcast of the same name that was written, produced, and edited by actor and podcaster Ellinor DiLorenzo. The mystery-filled podcast reached more than 200,000 listeners during its limited run of two seasons in which Ellinor DiLorenzo Gamemastered for her fellow actors Anne Richmond and Sydney Amanuel as the party ventured into the Mythic North — a land where the old Nordic folklore is horrifyingly real.
The Lost Mountain Saga contains five mysteries which have been expanded and modified for the official release. The hardcover book is beautifully illustrated by the acclaimed artists Johan Egerkrans and Anton Vitus. The adventure campaign is now available via the Free League webstore, at hobby stores all across the world, and as PDF at DriveThruRPG.
The Vaesen RPG Solo Rules is a PDF supplement letting you create and solve mysteries all by yourself. They can also be used to play together with one or more friends, without a GM.
