@bentgoblin @factolvictor @bookstodon @thestorygraph It’s worth checking out the @pelgranepress #NightsBlackAgents campaign “The Dracula Dossier”. Specifically the copy of Dracula annotated as if it was an after action report from the UK intelligence services. pelgranepress.com/product/the-

Pelgrane Press LtdThe Dracula Dossier: Dracula UnredactedTake your players on the greatest vampire hunt in history—more than a hundred years in the making. Dracula is not a novel. It's the censored version of Bram Stoker's after-action report of the failed British Intelligence attempt to recruit and control the perfect asset — the ultimate weapon — Count Dracula. Kenneth Hite and Gareth Ryder-Hanrahan have restored the deleted characters and redacted information, inserting annotations and clues left by three generations of MI6 analysts. This is Dracula Unredacted. This new edition of Dracula adds new letters and recordings, diary entries long thought lost, and documents suppressed by Her Majesty's Government ... until now. From the first tentative contact between British intelligence and the un-dead, to the werewolf of Walpurgisnacht, to the cataclysmic disappearance of Dracula in volcanic fire, read the story you've known for years ... for the first time. Dracula Unredacted does for the Dracula Dossier what Henry Armitage's letters did for Armitage Files or The Book of the Smoke for Bookhounds of London. People who bought this also bought Night's Black Agents, The Dracula Dossier: Thrill of Dracula and NBA Director's Screen and Resource Book. You may also be interested in The Dracula Dossier Starter Kit Bundle and The Dracula Dossier Core Bundle.

The Conspiracy tries to keep its paperwork up to date, but there will inevitably be slip-ups for the PCs to discover.

"For instance, more than 2,200 companies have directors aged 123 years and above, despite the fact that the oldest known human lived to 122, said Richard Graham, a director at Moody’s Analytics."

@risa Absolutely. I don’t begrudge people the enjoyment they may draw from playing #DnD or #Pathfinder or whatever, but it does my head in how often the same problems come up, and how often they need to reinvent the wheel.

If I had three tips for D&D DMs, off the top of my head:

1. Read #DungeonWorld's GMing advice.

2. #NightsBlackAgents took conspyramids from Elizabeth Sampat. You should, too.

3. Steal montages from #13thAge, and then steal One Unique Things.

29. Given how bad my memory is, my most memorable #TTRPG encounter is usually the most recent. 😉

A few others stand out, though, like throwing rice at Dracula's wedding (#DraculaDossier for #NightsBlackAgents), then swooping in—and dismally failing—to stake him as he stooped to count the grains, or reliving my character's bizarre teenage sexual encounters with things from beyond the Veil as part of #TheBetween's mask mechanic.

Tolerant fellow players really ARE a gift. 💕

#NightsBlackAgents #TTRPG :

Open questions:
Do holy symbols or holy ground interact?

Why is there identical man-made stuff (buildings / furniture) on the "other side"?

How has this affected human institutions? Who is in on the conspiracy?

Do aliens and other conspiracy staples exist, and how do they interact with this parallel dimension?

#RPGaDAY2023 Day 20: In 20 years' time, I'll most certainly still be running #NightsBlackAgents, and I've been at it for 10 years already. Beyond the #Gumshoe system that I love, I'm a sucker for (see what I did here?) spy stories and technothrillers, with or without vampires. Moreover, this game can easily adapt to the everchanging geopolitical situations around us from the angle of secret agents. Besides, this #ttrpg is absolutely awesome! #rpg #jdr @pelgrane Press #KennethHite #RPGaDAY
