Free League Publishing is proud to share that Vaesen – City of My Nightmares took home the Gold ENNIE Award for Best Adventure – Long Form at the 2026 ENNIE Awards, held during Gen Con.
Written by Kiku Pukk Härenstam, City of My Nightmares is a four-part campaign for Vaesen – Nordic Horror Roleplaying set in 19th-century Stockholm. What begins as an investigation into a series of grisly murders soon pulls players into a deeper mystery tied to the origins of the Society itself, with artwork by Johan Egerkrans and Anton Vitus bringing the supernatural city to life.
“It’s an incredible honor to see City of My Nightmares take home a Gold ENNIE,” said Tomas Härenstam, co-founder of Free League Publishing. “Kiku, Johan, Anton, and the entire team put so much into this book, and we’re very proud to see their work recognized. Knowing that the winners are chosen by the tabletop community makes it even more special. A huge thank you to everyone who has supported Vaesen and voted for us.”
The win capped a strong showing for Free League at this year’s ENNIE Awards, where the publisher received three nominations across two titles, including two for Coriolis: The Great Dark Core Rulebook for Best Game and Product of the Year.
The ENNIE Awards are an annual celebration of excellence in tabletop roleplaying games. Nominees are selected by a panel of judges, with the final Gold and Silver winners decided by public vote and announced at Gen Con.
