Mythic Britain & Ireland

Exploring a country still all mystery. This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we venture to Mythic Britain & Ireland, a Vaesen sourcebook by Graeme Davis. A labor of love, the book presents all you need to run a game of Vaesen in the British Isles, including scenarios, monsters and mystery seeds. But in addition to being an RPG book, it also works as an introduction to the landscape of folklore that's so unique to Britain and Ireland. Fantastic stuff, and gorgeous illustrations to boot. * * * Graeme Davis has a Patreon dedicated to monsters, their lore and resources for their use in RPG, appropriately called The Monster of the Month Club.
