Late Pledges Open for ‘Vaesen’: Mythic Carpathia and City of My Nightmares
Award-winning horror roleplaying game invites late pledgers to explore the Mythic North
Stockholm, Sweden (February 4, 2025) | Free League Publishing announced that Mythic Carpathia and City of My Nightmares, two highly-anticipated expansions for Vaesen—Nordic Horror Roleplaying that smashed their fundraising goals on Kickstarter last fall, are now open for late pledges on PledgeManager.
Since its release in 2020, Vaesen—Nordic Horror Roleplaying, based on the acclaimed art book by Johan Egerkrans, has become a fan favorite worldwide and has won multiple awards, including three ENNIEs. Mythic Carpathia and City of My Nightmares, its most recent expansions, are scheduled to print in September 2025— just in time for spooky season.
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, which deals with 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, written by a team of Polish and Ukrainian writers and editors, also presents three new complete mysteries to play, set in Prague, Ukraine, and Transylvania.
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.
Based upon feedback from many players over several years of mystery-solving, the carefully updated Core Rulebook offers a streamlined version of the game. It fixes a few imbalances and unclarities and adds optional simplified rules for combat and damage.
