Another #ttrpg in the category: "Backed the Kickstarter, no idea when I will actually get around to reading it."
Still, I love #CallOfCthulhu , and I am always up for more interesting historical setting. Plus, the "default region" is ancient Germania, so I might actually use some of my German #folklore research for this...

Der vierte und letzte Band einer Sammlung von Sagen aus Mecklenburg.
The fourth and final …
I have translated the folk tale "Das verwünschte Schloss Mecklenburg bei Fürstenhagen, unweit Feldberg" (*"The Cursed Castle Mecklenburg near Fürstenhagen, close to Feldberg"):
'But [the snake] spoke: "Don't be afraid of me, for if you want to have the treasures, you need to do nothing more than show courage. Undress yourself, and if you have the strength of will not to utter any sound if I crawl up your naked body in order to put the key into your mouth, you won't have just saved me (for I am cursed), but shall also gain possession of the vast treasures in the vaults of that ruin..."'
— Schlesische Sagen 1 - Spuk- und Gespenstersagen by Richard Kühnau (Schlesische Sagen, #1)
German #folklore - where you have to get naked and up close and personal with a snake in order to get rich!
In dark forests and forlorn mountains, by black lakes and hidden groves. At your doorstep. …
Vaesen is a game that should be right up my alley, considering it's a #ttrpg based on European #folklore and set in the 19th century - i.e. the topic and time I am studying myself.
Alas, so far I have been unable to find the time to actually read it. But hey - if anyone wants to write a Germany sourcebook for it, I am available as an expert consultant. 😉
I have translated and released the tale "Der Schwarzkünster"/"The Practitioner of the Black Arts" from this book on my Patreon:

This book, describing the folk tales of the hill country near where I grew up, was basically my introduction to German #folklore and all its weirdness.
All my work in this field started here. Though ironically, I have only translated few tales from this region because there are so few public domain sources...
