Karloff says, “This improvisational Night’s Black Agents campaign setting, complete with the unredacted print copy of Stoker’s first edition Dracula and a massive Director’s Handbook, is beyond huge.

Call of Chicago: The Call of … Varna?

Posted on by Kenneth Hite

“I think that Varna is not familiar to any of us …” — Van Helsing In my defense, not a lot of stuff happens in Varna. I mean, in the novel. Lots of stuff happens in Varna, including a disastrous Crusade in 1444 that killed the King of Poland and nearly killed Vlad Tepes’ brother […]

Call of Chicago: A Sort of Sortilege

Posted on by Kenneth Hite

In Bram Stoker’s original Notes for Dracula, we find the following cryptic line: Lawyer – (Sortes Virgilianae) conveyance of body Stoker originally thought perhaps the “lawyer” character Peter Hawkins, mostly written out of the book, would perform the sortes Virgilianae, literally the “Virgilian lots,” to find out how his new client would work out.
