You are what we call a Thursday's Child.
You see what others cannot.

Our next installment in our Mini Series program will be an amazing game by Free League Publishing: Vaesen. 

Vaesen – Nordic Horror Roleplaying is based on the work of Swedish illustrator and author Johan Egerkrans, Vaesen presents a dark Gothic setting steeped in Nordic folklore and old myths of Scandinavia.

Across 4 sessions, we will create characters as a group, and embark on 4 short investigations. The first of which will be the shortest, to allow for character creation.

Four Bi-Weekly Sessions, Mondays from 6:00 to 9:00pm

• Monday, September 30 - A Strange Invitation
  Characters meet at a mansion, but they aren't alone

• Monday, October 14 - The Sliver of the Sea
  Head to the coast to investigate the murder of a priest

• Monday, October 28 - A Wicked Secret
  A long trip to the north woods reveals things aren't as they seem in this remote and isolated village 

• Monday, November 11 - The Devil on the Moor
  On a Danish island, investigate a tale of terror in the windswept autumn moors

Gameplay is meant to focus on relationships and investigation. The tone struck will be conducive to horror storytelling: sensory details, theater of the mind, experimentation with pacing, and creative solutions to challenging situations. 

Our goal with these mini series is to highlight amazing game systems, but with a level somewhere in between a casual learn-to-play session, and a months'-long campaign. And where it might be easy to find a group of players to welcome you to a session of D&D 5e, it can be challenging to find people playing a different system. 

The format is also intended to highlight that amazing stories can be told over a shorter timeframe. Television series used to have 26 episodes in a season, and now they feel like 8-hour long movies. A mini series tries to tell a story over a few installments, even if there are story lines left open to explore further.

Finally, some systems show character development through storytelling instead of leveling. So in a mini series, not every BBEG is epic, and not every RPG hero is godlike. The stories and characters may be smaller, but that doesn't make them less meaningful.
