Night’s Black Agents: Espionage with Fangs

A high-octane fusion of spy thriller and supernatural horror, Night’s Black Agents pits elite operatives against a global vampire conspiracy.

In Pelgrane Press' Night’s Black Agents, betrayal burns hot, conspiracies run deep, and the shadows hide something older, hungrier, and far more dangerous than politics.

In Night’s Black Agents (NBA), you’re not an amateur. You’ve done wet work in Warsaw. You’ve ghosted surveillance in Dubai. You’ve walked out of embassies with stolen drives and steady hands.

But this mission? You weren’t meant to survive.

When you follow the trail back to its source, you don’t find a rogue general or a shadow government. You find a predator.

What counts as a vampire depends on the campaign. Your Director might spin them as:

• Viral anomalies bred in Cold War bunkers
• Old-world horrors in bespoke suits
• Ashen-eyed tacticians pulling strings from the shadows

One truth remains: they saw you coming.

NBA runs on the GUMSHOE system, designed for stories where finding the clue is never the problem. What matters is what you do with it.

For example: You don’t roll to notice the blood under the floorboards. You roll to decide what you’ll risk to find out who put it there.

Core mechanics support:

• Open-ended investigation across borders
• Tactical combat that rewards preparation
• Emotional toll: burnout, betrayal, and hard moral calls

And with four supported modes (Dust, Mirror, Burn, and Stakes), you decide how grounded, pulpy, or bleak the story gets.

Night’s Black Agents is live on the Quest Portal Marketplace.

A: It’s rules-light for investigations, with a bit more tactical detail in combat. It’s built for narrative flow, not bookkeeping.

Q: Can NBA handle long campaigns?

A: Absolutely. The conspiracy structure scales from one-shots to sprawling, globe-trotting epics.
