The Art of Hygge

Author: Poul Holmelund

Playhouse Thoughts: A valiant first effort from a new author. A clear, simple story that explores Danish culture that would be perfect for a strong roleplaying group.

Blurb: Something is indeed rotten in the state of Denmark as four American exchange students are about to find out while they explore the Danish cultural phenomenon of hygge.

On the surface everything seems tranquil in the late winter of 1999 as a renowned dancer and artist seeks to guide our hopefull students into the deeper aspect of Danish culture, but looks can be deceiving and a fairy tale ending may not be in the script.

The Art of Hygge is a scenario for one Keeper and four Investigators including four pre-generated charachters. The art and handouts is combined with a Spotify playlist tailored to generate a thematic experience around the Danish phenome of Hygge as well as the subversion of it. The playlist is not essential to the scenario so a subscribtion to Spotify is not necessary.

This scenario is part of the Northern Lights and Darkness collection.
