Free League Opens Pre-Orders for City Of My Nightmares Expansion for Vaesen – Nordic Horror Roleplaying

Stockholm, Sweden (March 3, 2026) | Today, Free League Publishing opened pre-orders for City of My Nightmares, a new full-length expansion for the award-winning Gothic tabletop roleplaying game, Vaesen – Nordic Horror Roleplaying. The expansion is now available for pre-order via the Free League webshop, with immediate access to complimentary PDFs ahead of its April 7 release.

‍

Set in a Gothic capital, City of My Nightmares unfolds as a four-part campaign for Vaesen. Investigators are drawn into a series of gruesome murders that soon reveal a far deeper conspiracy tied to the origins of the Society itself — one that threatens to plunge the city into chaos.

Written by Kiku Pukk Härenstam, City of My Nightmares brings Gothic 19th-century Stockholm to life through richly illustrated locations and atmospheric storytelling. While rooted in Stockholm, the campaign can easily be adapted to other Gothic interpretations of cities such as London or Prague.

About Vaesen – Nordic Horror Roleplaying

‍“In dark forests, beyond the mountains, by black lakes in hidden groves. At your doorstep. In the shadows, something stirs. Strange beings. Twisted creatures, lurking at the edge of vision. Watching. Waiting. Unseen by most, but not by you. You see them for what they really are. Vaesen.”

‍

Welcome to the Mythic North, northern Europe of the nineteenth century, as it never truly was. A land where folklore and old myths are real, and investigators confront the supernatural lurking beneath the surface of a rapidly changing world. Players take on the roles of investigators who are able to perceive and confront the Vaesen, supernatural beings from Nordic mythology.

‍

Based on the acclaimed work of Swedish illustrator Johan Egerkrans, Vaesen – Nordic Horror Roleplaying is a Gothic investigative tabletop roleplaying game rooted in Nordic folklore and powered by an adapted version of the award-winning Year Zero Engine. Since its initial release in 2020, the game has earned multiple industry honors, including three ENNIE Awards, and continues to expand with new mysteries and campaigns.
