Vaesen Expands with “Mythic Carpathia” Expansion

For fans of Vaesen – Nordic Horror Roleplaying, the award-winning Gothic TTRPG from Free League Publishing, the misty fjords and deep pine forests of the Mythic North have always held a chilling appeal. Now, the veil between worlds is expanding, and the Society’s investigators are being called to a new, ancient, and terrifying region: Mythic Carpathia.

The new expansion, Mythic Carpathia, takes the unique horror of the game and plunges it into the rich, dark folklore of Central and Eastern Europe. Get ready to face horrors far removed from the Scandinavian landscape, but just as deadly.
