The Abbey at Blackwold Castle is a mission pack for Nightwatch – Terror and Treasure in the Dark Corners of the World. Designed for beginner level players, five Nightwatch hunters investigate a series of mysterious disappearances near the lands of a disgraced noble. Their search leads them to the ruins of a crumbling abbey on the abandoned estate, and the family crypts beneath.

This mini-campaign includes five optional player-characters, a list of suggested enemies and their stats, and background briefs and table lay-out examples for each game. Linked in a narrative arc, these games can be run individually over a number of sessions, or perhaps in a single, tense day of crypt-crawling and monster-hunting.

The Abbey at Blackwold Castle incorporates a few elements from the upcoming Nightwatch Blood and Bone; increased emphasis on narrative, latitude for guided/GM’d missions, story-related mission objectives, monster traits to flavor Dark Spawn enemies, which in turn reduces the amount required per game but increases lethality, new gear enhancements and salvage rules, and a smaller game area.

It doesn’t represent the full extent of the changes coming in Blood and Bone, but it’s a taste of what I hope will be my small if solid take on a simple, fast-play ‘Tactical RPG’.
