See Page XX – June 2016

May you live in interesting times, goes the alleged Chinese curse; and it’s hard to think of more interesting times than the UK is currently experiencing. Many friends of the Nest have expressed concern about what Britain’s vote to exit the EU means for Pelgrane Press (and more importantly, their Dracula Dossier campaigns); Simon and Gareth tackle both issues in this month’s articles, below. Speaking of which, the Dracula Dossier is one of they many fine Pelgrane products which been nominated for some ENnies – vote here! For those of you who didn’t back the Kickstarter and want to know what all the fuss is about, this month sees the release of the remaining Dracula Dossier books, available either singly or as a discounted bundle. And continuing this month’s vampire theme, the latest edition of 13th Age Monthly, Temple of the Sun Cabal, sends the PCs to rescue a vampire from a neighbouring sun cult.

New Releases

• The Edom Field Manual – This supplement for the Dracula Dossier describes Edom’s history, methods, and tradecraft, initiating you into the innermost secrets of the British vampire program.
• The Edom Files – Eight desperate missions against the Un-Dead of the Dracula Dossier take you from the mountains of Bulgaria to the streets of Berlin; from the Russo-Turkish war to the War on Terror, and from 1877 to the present day.
• The Thrill of Dracula – Kenneth Hite takes apart Dracula into his component pieces, and shows you how to build new, yet mythic, stories about the King of the Vampires for your  Dracula Dossier or other horror game
