I don’t want to fill up our community with Kickstarter posts, but everything Ken Hite does with history is gold to me. Also, the fact that it is based on Robin Laws’ The Armitage Files (the best sandbox campaign framework I’ve ever seen), upgrades it to straight electrum. Mix in an annotated version of Dracula and you have solid platinum in my book.

Dracula is not a novel. It’s the censored after-action report written by Bram Stoker after Operation Edom, a failed attempt by British Intelligence to recruit a vampire in 1894. Edom is still trying — it’s up to you to stop them, and kill Dracula for good. The Dracula Dossier is an improvisational, collaborative campaign for my vampire spy thriller RPG Night’s Black Agents. It’s two books — the full version of Stoker’s report (Dracula Unredacted) and a compendium (The Director’s Handbook) of hundreds of encounters: shady NPCs, conspiratorial organizations, dangerous locations, and eldritch artifacts, any one of which might be completely innocuous or a minion of Dracula.
And by an odd coincidence, The Dracula Dossier is Kickstarting now. I’d appreciate your plusses, shares, plugs, shout-outs, and oh yes your cold hard promises of cash.

If anyone wants to listen to an AP of it in action, he’s running it as a podcast here: http://peachesandhotsauce.com/podcasts/66-dracula-dossier-part-1

Isn’t electrum a downgrade?

If I remember electrum was a mixture of silver & gold, at least under 2nd Ed

Ferrell Riley It could be. I thought it was copper, silver, gold, electrum, platinum, but it’s been forever since I played BECMI so I could be wrong.
That’s what I get for trusting my memory. Lesson learned: trust, but verify.

I’m not totally sold on the Gumshoe system, but The Armitage Files is a really interesting way to go about a campaign book. This being based on a foundation like that is a good sign.
