The Dracula Dossier
Oct 29, 2015
In 1894, the original heroes of Dracula carried out a secret operation for British intelligence to capture Dracula — Operation Edom. They failed, as did three subsequent generations of agents. Today, you found out the truth — you found The Dracula Dossier. Edom is active; Dracula cannot be turned. Now you must follow its clues to evade Edom and kill Dracula for good. Players choose which leads to track, which scarlet trail to follow. The Director, using the clear step-by-step techniques in the Director’s Handbook, improvises a suitably blood-soaked thriller in response to their choices. Clear advice to players and Directors on improvisation, with extensive examples and guidelines, helps you set the scene. Together, you will write your own unique version of the Dracula Dossier, using the pre-prepared elements such as:
The Dracula Dossier: The Director’s Handbook is a lavishly illustrated tome packed with everything a GM needs to create a thrilling, interactive Night’s Black Agents campaign: detailed locations with maps and adventure hooks, eerie objects, assets, spies, enigmatic NPCs, Servants of Dracula, and shady organizations. Dracula Unredacted, together with The Director’s Handbook, comprise The Dracula Dossier - an epic improvised, collaborative campaign for Night’s Black Agents, Pelgrane's award-winning vampire spy thriller RPG. 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. Operation Edom redacted the text, concealed the true purpose and key players, and released it as fiction — as disinformation. Three generations of analysts (in 1940, in 1977, and in the present day) annotated the hidden text, tracing the secret history of Count Dracula through the 20th century. Now, that unredacted document is in your hands. Follow the leads wherever they take you until you meet the ultimate foe: Dracula himself. This new, octavo-sized edition of Dracula is the ultimate player handout. It 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.
