| 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. A new year is soon dawning and thrilling excitement awaits! This week, Free League and the Alchemy Virtual Tabletop invite players across the world to enter the Mythic North – a land where the myths are real. Players can sign up on StartPlaying to participate in the Vaesen: A Nordic Horror Weekend that takes place January 10–14. Experienced Gamemasters are ready to guide them through immersive mysteries within the Mythic North, regardless of their experience with Alchemy, Vaesen, or tabletop roleplaying games. To coincide with the event, the full content module of the award-winning Vaesen – Nordic Horror Roleplaying will be officially launched tomorrow January 10 on Alchemy, the world’s first virtual tabletop built specifically for cinematic immersion and theater of the mind gameplay. Ruins of Symbaroum and MÖRK BORG are already available on Alchemy and Vaesen will be the first Year Zero Engine game with full mechanical support on the platform. Other Year Zero titles are on the way, with Tales From the Loop and Coriolis being next in line.
