In December 2017 we presented the
Dracula Dossier Bundle. Written by star designers
Kenneth Hite (
Trail of Cthulhu, GURPS Horror) and
Gareth Ryder-Hanrahan (Mongoose
Traveller, The Laundry RPG, PARANOIA),
The Dracula Dossier is an epic improvised horror-espionage campaign for
Night’s Black Agents, Ken’s GUMSHOE System RPG of burned spies vs. vampires from
Pelgrane Press.
In 1893 a visionary spymaster in the British Naval Intelligence Department tried to recruit the perfect asset: a vampire. Operation Edom contacted Count Dracula in Transylvania, set up a safe house and headquarters in England, and arranged transit. Then it all went wrong. Dracula betrayed his minder and double-crossed NID. British intelligence hunted him down on his home ground and terminated him with two knives and extreme prejudice — or so they thought. Dracula lives. Now it’s up to you to finish the job.

Funded by a spectacular
November 2014 Kickstarter campaign, the
Dracula Dossier series follows in the fully improvisational path of the award-winning
The Armitage Files campaign for
Trail of Cthulhu (part of our May 2014
Trail of Cthulhu Bundle). Players follow up leads in the margins of
Dracula Unredacted, a rare edition of Bram Stoker’s masterpiece that reveals the terrifying truth behind the fiction. Players choose which leads to track, which scarlet trail to follow. The Director, using the clear step-by-step techniques in these ebooks, improvises a suitably blood-soaked thriller in response to their choices. Together you create your own unique story — and you learn why Ben Riggs at
Geek & Sundry called
The Dracula Dossier the greatest RPG campaign of all time.

This comprehensive offer presented the entire
Dracula Dossier line. There were
three titles in our
Agent’s Collection (retail value
$54), including the
Night’s Black Agents core rulebook (retail price $25),
Dracula Unredacted (retail $20), and
The Edom Field Manual (retail $9).

Those who paid more than the threshold (average) price
also got our entire
Director’s Collection with
five more titles worth an additional
$65, including the indispensable
Dracula Dossier Director’s Handbook (plus the
Dracula Deck of nonplayer character cards),
The Edom Files scenario collection, and
The Hawkins Papers, with over 30 beautiful player handouts. After launch we added
The Thrill of Dracula (retail $7), wherein Kenneth Hite analyzes portrayals of Dracula in fiction and film across the decades.
The Van Helsing Letter, a free introductory
Night’s Black Agents/Dracula Dossier investigation originally distributed for Free RPG Day 2016, also includes a
13th Age scenario,
Swords Against the Dead.
Ten percent of each payment (after gateway fees) went to the charity selected by Pelgrane Press,
V-Day.
