Night's Black Agents is a vampire spy thriller Tabletop RPG written by Kenneth Hite and published by Pelgrane Press in 2012, using the GUMSHOE system.Night's Black Agents' default setting is a world of horror and shadows, with flashes of action. In this game, the player characters are secret agents who discover that vampires are real, in control of the world, and want to kill them for knowing they exist. They spend the remainder of the campaign using secret agent skills to destroy the vampire conspiracy. Central to the game is the idea that the characters are hyper-competent operatives, with the talents and resources to pull off their mission. High-tech gadgets, high-speed chases and intense combat scenes against villains both human or vampiric are the order of the day.The Director (as the game calls the GM) customises the vampires and their conspiracy as they wish, with four base origins involved: supernatural (mystical but not necessarily evil origin), damned (explicitly demonic origin), mutant (human subspecies), or alien (inhuman species). From there, the game offers various powers, regenerative techniques, feeding methods and propagation methods, all with suggestions on which is best suited for which origin. The players have to discover these details within each unique campaign without any knowledge carried over from previous campaigns.Directors can alter their modes of play to suit their individual visions. They are divided into Dust (gritty techno-thriller), Mirrors (paranoid bluffing, double-crosses and manipulation), Burn (pushing the characters to their mental limits) and Stakes (monster-hunting action-adventure). The core rulebook also offers three possible variants of the core setting suitable for straight spy stories, cosmic horror or psionic action.Note: The Dracula Dossier, an improvisational campaign for Night's Black Agents, has its own page. | |

Dream Weaver: The ability to enter, influence or read dreams appears in many vampire legends around the world. Folkloric vampires often seem able to eerily calm their victims, or to impel them to suicide. | |

| Night's Black Agents (Tabletop Game) / int_21e5b9c7 | comment |
Failed a Spot Check: Psionic vampires may convince witnesses that they see (and usually, smell and hear) nothing. This creates a vampire that can only be seen by cameras or mechanical detection systems. Sometimes this works on dogs; sometimes animals are immune to psionic suasion. | |

Beat It by Compulsion: A compulsion is something a vampire feels a powerful urge to do, but is not strictly necessary for its continued existence. This might be a side effect of vampiric magic, or OCD caused by a vampire virus. | |

Omniglot: The language rules in Night's Black Agents offer more languages per slot than standard GUMSHOE rules for the Languages ability: Languages 2 gives the PC five languages, and at Languages 4, they can speak and read thirteen other languages. The reason is because the spy thriller genre embraces cosmopolitan settings and globetrotting transitions. | |

The Renfield | |
| Night's Black Agents (Tabletop Game) / int_3fb4b1cb | comment |
The Renfield: In Night's Black Agents, any human servant of the vampires is a Renfield, and is also likely to be a dangerous killer. These assets are promised 'life', and usually have some vampire blood in their veins to seal the bargain and grant them some supernatural power. Ideally, players will wonder if the Renfield is actually a Renfield, or just a really dangerous human. | |

Wanted Meter | |
| Night's Black Agents (Tabletop Game) / int_403e3315 | comment |
Wanted Meter: Running all over Europe shooting vampires attracts attention from governments, police agencies and other unsympathetic official observers. This attention and the concomitant investigations and pursuits are represented with the abstract value of Heat. The more Heat you have on you, the more likely the long arm of the law is to take a gratuitous swipe at you. The Shadow score in Solo Ops measures the degree to which the supernatural threat is aware of you. A low Shadow score means the vampires don't know you're in their city, or can't pin down your location. A high Shadow score means they know about you, they can smell your blood, and can strike at you with supernatural attacks. Think of Shadow as Vampire Heat. | |

Bat Out of Hell: The human-sized Zapotec and Mayan camazotz resembles a large, powerful man with the head and wings of a bat and delights in beheading its victims and drinking from the spurting neck. A combination of selective breeding, experimental steroids and PCP-laced nectar can produce a flapping hissing fanged megabat that can fly around a vampire's castle or corporate skyscraper. | |

Truth Serums | |
| Night's Black Agents (Tabletop Game) / int_4b5817c1 | comment |
Truth Serums: Some intelligence agencies use some specific barbiturate cocktails, including scopolamine and sodium thiopental, to assist interrogation. These drugs induce a general sense of well-being, lowered inhibitions, and (under proper guidance by an interrogator) a tendency to rattle off anything and everything on their mind, truthful or not. In spy thrillers, truth serum works much more dependably; after an injection of 'sodium pentothal', the interrogator can pry reliable answers forcibly out of a writhing victim. If the agents want truth drugs, they need to steal them from an agency medical facility or source them with Network. Using truth serum speeds up the Interrogation ability, assuming someone present has the Shrink ability as well. | |

Spy Fiction: Night's Black Agents is a vampire spy thriller. Player characters agents worthy of spy films: tough, resourceful, clever, deadly — in a word, badass. Then the Director sends the vampires, and their own agents, and their pawns and tools and ghouls and monsters, to kill them. The goal — both players' and the Director's — is action, and horror, and the special thrills that only spy stories can deliver. | |

Our Demons Are Different: The adzeh of Ewe lore is a kind of insect-demon, drinking the life from men, beasts, and crops indiscriminately. It might be the true source of vampirism, or an organism created or summoned by a master vampire to provide vampiric power to (or command and control of) human servants. | |

Eldritch Abomination: Alien vampires likely exist on some level neither alive nor dead: a biochemistry suited to deep space, a sensorium evolved for fifth-dimensional perceptions, feeding habits that leave psychic wounds or weirdly altered blood chemistry in their wake. Humans can barely comprehend their lives without biotechnological brain surgery or psychic contact. | |

Holy Burns Evil | |
| Night's Black Agents (Tabletop Game) / int_8c4bafff | comment |
Holy Burns Evil: If it works at all, holy water only does damage on the first hit. Its damage is caused by holiness, not volume. After that, the spiritual wound is cauterised and the vampire loses no more Health, although he may scream blasphemies and smoulder. Holy water is freely available from the font of any Catholic or Orthodox church, and an agent ordained as a priest can consecrate water with a few seconds of prayer. | |

Ancient Conspiracy | |
| Night's Black Agents (Tabletop Game) / int_8e5c862 | comment |
Ancient Conspiracy: Real conspiracies fall apart or divert themselves as their leadership dies off; vampire conspiracies don't have that problem. Conspiracies deriving from Hell or time-insensitive aliens can last a very long time, plotting for inhuman and unguessable reasons. A vampire conspiracy is most likely at least as old as its oldest vampire. | |

Resurrective Immortality | |
| Night's Black Agents (Tabletop Game) / int_934eb07f | comment |
Resurrective Immortality: As any cursory examination of Balkan legendry or Hammer films indicates, vampires can come back from death. A dead vampire rises again if exposed to some stimulus: black magic, moonlight, radiation, or (especially) enough blood. To stop such resurrection, would-be slayers must take specific precautions. | |

Astral Projection | |
| Night's Black Agents (Tabletop Game) / int_9bd92eef | comment |
Astral Projection: The Romani murony is a vampire who astrally projects himself out of his grave or out of his house to drain the life from his neighbours. A similar outbreak of spectral vampirism plagued rural Rhode Island in the 19th century. The obayifo of Ghana and the asema of Suriname hunt in the same fashion after removing their skins, but are always living vampires. | |

Forensic Accounting: Nobody works for vampires for their health, and somebody has to pay for all the robes and chalices. Even if vampires don't cast shadows, their money does. The PCs are advised to hit obvious sources of income like rich scumbags, casinos or drug rings, and comb financial records to find suspiciously well-off civil servants; find out who actually bought that medieval icon or Etruscan tomb amulet. | |

Our Vampires Are Different | |
| Night's Black Agents (Tabletop Game) / int_9f63d4f1 | comment |
Our Vampires Are Different: In Night's Black Agents, the vampires and their conspiracy are modular, customisable. Vampires are the result of supernatural activities on Earth. Vampires are the work of demonic entities opposed to mankind and God. Vampires are alien beings who follow different laws of physics. Vampires are earthly beings infected or changed by (or into) some freak of nature. In one Director's world, they might fear garlic and crosses — in another Director's campaign, they might be spider-like aliens who move through hyperspace. | |

Healing Factor | |

Healing Factor: Even when you can do damage to a vampire, its unnatural flesh heals and regenerates. A powerful vampire can even regenerate from its own ashes, if exposed to enough blood. Damage from some sources (usually banes) does not regenerate, or only regenerates at normal human healing speed. | |

Human Traffickers | |
| Night's Black Agents (Tabletop Game) / int_adf2910 | comment |
Human Traffickers: A vampire conspiracy that taps into underground human cargo and labour flows has plenty of necks to drink from. Sex workers and other slaves are easier to drink and drain; illegal workers are generally in better health with fewer drug problems. Human trafficking is also a good funding source, assuming the vampires don't drink all the profits. | |

Dhampyr | |
| Night's Black Agents (Tabletop Game) / int_b2598054 | comment |
Dhampyr: In Romani lore, the word dhampir refers to the half-breed offspring of a vampire and a human. Other Balkan cultures use other terms, such as the Serbian vampirović or the Bulgarian vampirdzhiya. In both Romani folklore and popular culture, a dhampir often acts as a vampire-slayer, using his special powers to protect normal humanity. In Night's Black Agents, the dhampir likely appears as a more powerful sort of Renfield: a vampiric vassal capable of moving about and using a wide range of vampire powers in the sunlight. | |

Our Wights Are Different: The Old Norse word vorthr means warder or guardian and applies to an animated corpse guarding a barrow, not unlike Tolkien's barrow-wights. In Night's Black Agents, a vorthr is a very powerful undead creature assigned to guard something of supreme importance to a vampire lord. In your campaign a vorthr might be a mummy, golem, robot, or any other mighty guardian. | |

Our Ghouls Are Creepier: Technically, a ghoul is anyone who eats corpses, although the word comes from an Arab desert demon, the ghul, which ate human flesh and drank blood. Later Persian and Western fiction combined the undead with corpse-eating wild dogs into canine, pack-travelling cemetery monsters. In Night's Black Agents, ghouls typically act as muscle for a vampire, or as guard dogs for an underground location. They needn't be canine; ghouls might be flesh-eating beetles, fish or alien constructs. | |

Composite Character: Vampires, by and large, can do a lot of weird stuff. Historically, this is because Enlightenment-era scholars accreted all manner of specific pieces of local folklore into a generic description of vampires, a tradition gleefully followed by horror ever since, and potentially, by this game. Your vampires might be able to do all, some or none of these things, depending on your sense of horror, the game's challenge level, or a desire to feed (or frustrate) player familiarity. | |

Dirty Cop: Criminal conspiracies, even supernatural ones, need some sort of shield from the scrutiny of society and law enforcement. Thus, the vampire conspiracy almost always co-opts at least one high police officer in any city where it regularly operates. Even if one local office is strangely incorruptible, there will be others to look the other way and cover up the mysterious exsanguinations. | |

Fast Tunnelling | |
| Night's Black Agents (Tabletop Game) / int_f38adaff | comment |
Fast Tunnelling: Many Balkan vampires can dig themselves out of their graves or into another one with unnatural speed and stealth. A wormlike alien vampire might be able to tunnel through the soil as easily as it oozes along the ground. | |

Was Once a Man | |
| Night's Black Agents (Tabletop Game) / int_fdad625e | comment |
Was Once a Man: Many vampires (except alien vampires) were once human, before they rose from the dead, signed a pact with Satan, were bitten, were infected, or what have you. To what extent are they still human? Do they retain their human memories and desires? Human loyalties and hatreds? Can they pass as human, or do they depend on magic, psionics, or heavy coats and hoodies to move around the city? | |

Our Gargoyles Rock | |
| Night's Black Agents (Tabletop Game) / int_fe5ed7bf | comment |
Our Gargoyles Rock: Gargoyles are living statues, stone golems, or the result of bizarre alchemy or biological engineering that turns humans into stony horrors. They are extensions of the vampire's will, animated and controlled by the vampire's unholy power. | |

Stronger with Age | |
| Night's Black Agents (Tabletop Game) / int_ff7c3bb0 | comment |
Stronger with Age: In some cases, older vampires have fewer weaknesses than new-fledged ones, or the effects of banes and such are lessened. | |
