#vaesen

I am writing this because I was inspired by Matt Colville's Campaign Diaries.

In this blog I document the events of the Vaesen campaign I run for my friends. I will include my preparations, notable things my players did, my thoughts on those events, what worked well, what didn't, some of my thoughts on the modules that I run, and maybe even a few of my long-term schemes.

For privacy reasons (both my own and my players') I will not be using real names for most of my players. I have made sure to get the explicit consent of each of my players through a private channel (to minimize peer pressure) to include their anonymous details. (I will write more about that in a follow-up post.) You may call me The Yellow One.

The cast of characters include:

Dr. Thorne, The Doctor - Smart, precise, and unempathetic, Dr. Thorne wants to study vaesen to learn how they work and how their unique biology can be used to further medical science.

Miriam, The Servant - Currently serving as Dr. Thorne's assistant, Miriam had a hard life growing up in the rural areas with limited education or opportunities. Idealizes Dr. Thorne.

Seamus, The Poet - Traveling from Ireland to learn more about the Society on behalf of her own society of mystics only to find it completely abandoned and now investigating what happened to it.

Camilla, The Investigator - Under cover as the poet's maid, Camilla is actually a PI hired to investigate Seamus and his society.

Albin, The Mystic - A clergyman who has found that old pagan rituals sometimes prove more effective in dealing with evil vaesen than the official church doctrines. He now wants to learn more about God's creations, even if his methods are apocryphal.

Ever since my post about the dinosaurs, I’ve been itching to get started. I simply have to flesh out these adventure ideas! For the idea involving the Iguanodon at Crystal Palace—which turns out to be a dragon after all—I’ve already created the NPCs, including one that fits perfectly with Pride Month: The Dandy: William George Staunton William George Staunton is the slightly greying, somewhat…

Seit meinem Beitrag über die Dinos juckt es in meinen Fingern. Ich muss die Abenteuerideen ausgestalten! Für die Idee rund um dien Iguanodon im Christal Palace, der dann doch ein Drache ist, habe ich mir schon die NSCs erstellt, darunter auch einer, der wunderbar in den Pride Month passt: Der Dandy: William George Staunton  William George Staunton ist der etwas angegraute, einige Jahre jüngere…
