Something’s not right with the Vampire Nation. That’s to be expected from the newly minted and recognized land for bloodsuckers. What no one could have anticipated, however, was someone splicing a piece of the Tree of Shadows and planting it in Vamprysk.
The Tree is spewing supernatural darkness, engulfing the land in the horrors beneath the shadows and someone has to stop it. Time to bring a little sun down on the darkness.
Genre
This is THE horror campaign. Other campaigns may explore the existential dread of chasing the unknown. This book is classic horror: monsters and the monsters that hunt them. “Good” and “evil” are only shades of the same darkness.
Gameplay
Not just anyone can walk into the Vampire Nation and get answers. Sometimes it takes monsters, horrors, and those that consort with them to stop them. This is a horror campaign for those that want to be heroes, but don’t mind exploring their dark sides, or being the monsters when the time comes.
