“Something Wonderful Has Been Created”, Dracula Dossier Review

Karloff reviewed the backer-PDF copy of the Dracula Dossier. You can find the full review here. Thanks, Karloff! 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. It’s one thing to write up Stoker’s Dracula with little […]

Call of Chicago: Icons for the Dracula Dossier

Thirteen – each has a number. Each asked to tell something strange – order of numbers makes the story complete – at the end the Count comes in.             — Bram Stoker, Notes for Dracula For a change, this isn’t something we left out of the Dracula Dossier. No, instead it’s something you can put […]

Call of Chicago: The Call of … Varna?

“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

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. Both […]

Call of Chicago: Bram Stoker’s Pre-Gens

In The Dracula Dossier, one of my favorite campaign frames — inserted at Simon’s insistence, and written mostly by Gareth — is “Unto the Fourth Generation,” in which you play the whole saga of Operation Edom from 1894 to 1940 to 1977 to now. That’s right, you begin as the original 1894 heroic band — the cast […]

Achievements for the Dracula Dossier

Double Tap introduced the concept of video-game-style Achievements into Night’s Black Agents (Will Plant’s original is here, but Double Tap‘s list is bigger, better and has more bonuses for blowing things up.) As the Dracula Dossier consumes my every waking hour, and I start to see connections to the Mas… to Dracula everywhere, here’s a list of custom achievements for the […]

Call of Chicago: If I Had a Hammer

I know I’ve got to talk about The Dracula Dossier, but I’m not sure what I can tell you. What’s the point of giving you a sneak peek when you can back the Kickstarter and see the whole Director’s Handbook, all 280+ pages of it, just like that? I could tell you where to click […]

The Dracula Dossier Kickstarter is Live

Ken Hite takes on Dracula! A new edition of Stoker’s novel that tells the real story; and an improvised spy thriller campaign for Night’s Black Agents RPG. Two Books. One Mission. 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 a vampire […]

Dracula Dossier Conspyramies

Once is an accident. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action – at least, according to the apocryphal Moscow Rules. Our kickstarter for the Dracula Dossier was due to launch on October 17th. That target was, perhaps, overly ambitious. While we’d completed the draft of the Director’s Handbook – the mammoth compendium of conspiracies, […]
