Episode 35: Vaesen - Nordic Horror Roleplaying

About this episode

In this episode, the hosts discuss Vaesen, a Nordic Horror roleplaying game, and share their experiences and insights on the game mechanics.

In this 35th episode of Analytic Dice we answer a few calls and then talk about Vaesen, Nordic Horror Roleplaying, by Free League. Analytic Dice is a monthly podcast in which we, Kevin and Gabe, analyze a tabletop roleplaying game system or setting. Before recording each episode we will have played the specific role-playing game or setting under discussion. While there is no perfect system or setting, people do have preferences, and this podcast will explore our actual play experiences with different mechanics, revealing the great, the good, and our opinion on the pain points inherent in each system or setting adaptation.
