To bear the Sight is a grievous gift, made even more dolorous when borne alone. Just one soul to keep vigil against the veil is but a candle stood before the looming shadow of the longest night. And yet a single lantern arrayed against the dark can be enough light to preserve us all.
A Single Lantern expands the official solo framework introduced in Thursday’s Child, refining its mechanics and filling the gaps between the core rules and true solitary play. Inside, you will find modular systems for character creation, resource management, and survival, each balanced to preserve more of the core Vaesen gameplay experience while ensuring a lone Investigator can stand against the dark.
New tools include:
The Whisper Table of cryptic revelations.
Weekly news headlines from the Upsala Gazette
Step-Die Resource Tracking for supplies and ammunition.
Expanded Headquarters Upgrades scaled for solo play.
Simplified Companion & Personnel rules for allies like the eccentric Jorma Frisk.
Streamlined Combat, Injury, and Recovery adjustments.
An integrated Threat Table, featuring threats both corporeal and immaterial
The narrative Winds of Change mechanic for balancing fortune and misfortune.
This supplement requires the Vaesen Core Rulebook and is strongly recommended to be used alongside Thursday’s Child. A Single Lantern is intended as a guide for those who wish to play alone without sacrificing too many of the core gameplay mechanics. Whether you seek structure for a long-term campaign or inspiration for a single night’s investigation, A Single Lantern offers a toolkit to keep the flame alive when all other lights have gone out.
