A tall, skeletal figure stands menacingly in a graveyard, wearing dark, tattered clothing and a hooded cloak.

Free League Publishing has opened pre-orders for three new Vaesen products released on October 28; The Mythic Carpathia expansion, a revised Core Rulebook, and a Starter Set all arrive together, like a spooky halloween bus on the express route to madness.

Dragging players eastward into Central and Eastern Europe, Mythic Carpathia swaps the Nordic fjords and trolls for vampires, rusalkas, and Baba Yaga (a chicken-legged-hut dwelling hag that flies around in a pestle and mortar deep frying children. I kid you not). Centering on Prague with three mysteries spanning Ukraine and Transylvania the expansion includes sixteen new Vaesen illustrated by Johan Egerkrans, Anton Vitus, and Francesca Baerald. Rather than sticking fangs and a pumpkin on existing content, the cultural heavy lifting has been handled by a team of Polish and Ukrainian writers so hold onto your hats as slavic mythology gets weird fast (see huts spinning around on chicken legs).
