Welcome to the Mythic North.
In dark forests, beyond the mountains, by black lakes in hidden groves. At your doorstep. In the shadows, something stirs. Strange beings. Twisted creatures, lurking at the edge of vision. Watching. Waiting. Unseen by most, but not by you. You see them for what they really are. Vaesen.
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.
Hello!
I am looking forward to have three brave players who would like to join The Society, a group of people who were gifted with The Sight - ability to see supernatural creatures in the game called Vaesen.
Vaesen is based on YZE and is rules-light system, with consequences of the action steering the game itself. Players are just ordinary people who are able to see the Unseen, and upon invite, they form a Society, group that is willing to go through the country to help maintain the peace between the Invisible and every day people.
We will be playing starting adventure, Dance with Death, and move to the newly published City of My Nightmares. After that, we will decide on the next adventures.
About the game:
- Played on the weekly basis (starting August) of Thursday-Friday mornings AM GMT+2 (time to be decided) on Discord, via Roll20 possibly – a working microphone is a must;
- Every game would have information about potential triggers;
- Rules-light adventure of investigations, mystery, a bit of horror and supernatural elements
- The triggering content will be discussed with everyone beforehand, but be aware that there might be strong triggers of the events of deaths among NPCs and animals, harm or self-harm, suicide, domestic abuse and occultist themes. I want people to approach those themes with respect so that is why game is 18+ and I expect everyone to accept that this themes, while not widely described, will appear during the game;
- Game is happening in 19th century Sweden, and characters will start their game as early established group in Stockholm;
- You chose from one of the archetypes: Academic, Doctor, Hunter, Occultist, Officer, Priest, Private Detective, Servant, Vagabond, and Writer. You can also use archetypes from Mythic Britain and Ireland: Performer, Athlete and Socialite.
Who am I looking for:
- People who are able to commit to the game on the weekly basis (some days off are understandable, but I want to have a group that can play together on more or less regular basis);
- People who are respectful about heavy themes in the game and are willing to play the investigations that may touch upon more heavy content;
- Players who are respectful to each other and are happy to roleplay as the group, not only contact with NPCs;
- New players to the system are more than welcome if they want to learn the system;
- This is LGBT+ friendly game and no sort of the discrimination (unless in-game specific) will be accepted.
