Vaesen is a TTRPG produced by Free League Publishing, and built on the Year Zero Game Engine that takes our players into a 19th Century land of myths, folklore, and legends. We play as investigators with the Sight, the ability to see Vaesen: trolls, selkie, fae, and other creatures inhabiting the natural landscape, existing long before ourselves. 

We have set our campaign in the 1848 Slovene Lands, as an homage to our Game Facilitator's heritage, serving as a fun gaming experience and an opportunity to reconnect with lost culture. In Vaesen: Slovene Land, we will explore the human relationships with the Vaesen in the wake of industrialization and enlightenment. Step through the veil and join us as we rekindle the lingering magiks of these lands as maintained in ceremony for hundreds of years following the 8th century Bavarian Christianization.

Our Society Headquarters is set into the isolated and mysterious Predjama Castle, in the vast Western wilderness of a region known in modern-days as Slovenia.

In the forest, ancient and green,
The spirits dwell, unseen, unseen.
From the trees and the streams they rise,
Guiding us with their gentle eyes.

The wind carries their whispers soft,
Their presence felt, but never lost.
The flowers bloom with their loving care,
And the animals frolic without a care.

The sun and the moon, they are their kin,
As they dance and sing, the world begins.
The spirits guide us through life and death,
Ever present, with every breath.

The natural world is alive and well,
Home of spirits that often dwell.
Leshy guards with a watchful eye,
Kikimora keeps the hearth fires high. 

Vodyanoy rules the waterways,
While Gamayun sings of bygone days.
Alkonost's voice brings a soothing peace,
As Ovinnik tends the fields with ease.

So when you walk among the trees,
Listen closely to the gentle breeze.
And when the wind whispers in your ear,
Listen closely, for the magik is near.
