I have never played Vaesen, but the game looks gorgeous and you can snag the pdf today only at the amazing price of free.
Here's info from the product page:
Welcome to the Mythic North – northern Europe of the
nineteenth century, but not as we know it today. A land where the myths are
real. A cold reach covered by vast forests, its few cities lonely beacons of
industry and enlightenment – a new civilization dawning. But in the
countryside, the old ways still hold sway. There, people know what lurks in the
dark. They know to fear it.
Vaesen – Nordic Horror Roleplaying is written by Nils Hintze and based on the work of Swedish illustrator and author Johan Egerkrans. Vaesen presents a dark Gothic setting steeped in Nordic folklore and the old myths of Scandinavia. The game mechanics utilize an adapted version of the award winning Year Zero Engine.
Key features:
· Ten ready to use archetypes let you create a character in minutes – or use the included life path tables and let the dice decide.
· Quick and flavorful rules for combat, investigations and horror.
· Rules for developing the player characters’ headquarters during campaign play.
· A detailed gazetteer of the Mythic North setting and the town of Upsala.
· A score of bloodcurdling vaesen to encounter, all beautifully illustrated by Johan Egerkrans.
· An introductory Mystery called The Dance of Dreams.
