In the premier episode of our new Actual Play podcast, we follow the supernatural investigators of the Library of Metaphysical Knowledge in Defense of Mankind operating in 19th century Seattle. Together they seek to understand the mysterious Vaesen – supernatural creatures out of Scandinavian folklore. Join us as we begin this original campaign, starring Phoenix (Julian Benavides), Aryn (Sofie Ingesdottir) and Quin (Caelan Teagan), led by your gamemaster Bryon Kershaw.
Please note we had some technical issues with Aryn's microphone in this episode, and she should sound much clearer in all future episodes!
Our opening theme is “Myths and Legends” by Robert Bruckmayer which you can pick up at his bandcamp or stream on Spotify. Our episode music is created by Andreas Lundström. You can hear more of his work on the Sweden Rolls podcast.
