Adventures

Sins of the Father

Hook: For the past ten days, grisly murders have been taking place in the small town of Garrets Hill. Each night one of the townspeople has been electrocuted. The characters may be related to one of the victims, or called in by local police for their skills (if the character is a noted doctor or…

Adventures

Welcome to Barketsville

Hook: The characters have just arrived in a small town with no know history of the occult and paranormal. Perhaps they are researching a local legend, following up information on a rare text, or simply wander into the city by accident. In any event, the group will be forced to spend some time in…

Adventures

History Repeats

This plot is a bit unpleasant and has no happy ending to it. I would suggest it be used only in the "darker theme" type of games. It is mostly a morality play, who will the players help, the "innocent" man or the teen with no control over his actions. Hook: The characters will be somehow drawn to…

Adventures

Too Good to Be True

Hook: The players will be in a major city, hunting down a master vampire and his minions when they discover someone else seems to be helping them out. In some cases, the characters will arrive only minutes after a pitched battle to discover the remains of scores of vampires. Whoever the mystery…

New York, New YAAAHHH!!

Ok, this is my first real campaign for Nightbane. I've never actually played the game, but I've read the books well enough to get a good idea of the game. I know that when I run my first Nightbane campaign, this will probably be the campaign I use. Unless I happen to come up with something better…

Adventures

Seek & Ye Shall Steal

Hook: The character group has at least one Sword Bearer in the group. One of these characters' artifacts is more powerful than they can imagine. Currently, the player is still discovering it's power and knows that it allows him, a once normal human, to Mirror Walk. Line: The artifact has an…

The Horn of Destiny

Hook: Lord Magog holds the Horn of Destiny and the players' group consists of one Sword Bearer (or one person with the potential to become a sword bearer). Line: The Horn of Destiny is calling to the player, giving him visions and dreams in an attempt to convince the player that they should be…

Adventures

A Day at the Mall

This campaign is something that could be run in Beyond the Supernatural or Nightbane (though it would probably be suited to take place on or before Dark Day). The characters should already know each other by now, if not, it could certainly be an interesting introduction. The players are on their…

Adventures

The Devil Came to Miami

The player characters are members of the Seekers faction (or have been hired by the Seekers) to solve a most puzzling murder. A high-ranking member was murdered in his sleep, and there is no sign of forced entry and very few clues to go on. The only clue points to a second high-ranking member, one…
