Nightborn
Fight, sneak, or charm your way through a gothic modern New Orleans as a Vampire detective of your creation. Unravel a vast centuries-old conspiracy involving Vampire factions, Werewolves, and far stranger horrors. Try to survive as a Nightborn without losing yourself to madness or damnation.
Nightborn is a Vampire RPG with narrative-focused gameplay set in a twisted gothic version of our world.
Players assume the role of the Bloodhound, a Vampire detective trained in tracking supernatural threats to the Nightborn, using arcane rituals forbidden to others of your kind.
Investigate the mysterious disappearance of your Maker, a politically influential member of the Nightborn, the Vampire elite of New Orleans.
Lycans, Horrors, and Cryptids, Oh My!
There are many mysteries to fear in the dark gothic world of Nightborn. Creatures beyond comprehension to discover, catalog, and, if you are skilled enough, survive.
Dark Legacy
Supernatural power courses through your undead veins. Summon dark energies or boost your abilities beyond what mortals dream possible.
Dominate your Enemies
Crush all who oppose you with fists, claws, melee weapons, or firearms! Or, optionally, show mercy. But where is the fun in that?
Dynamic Dialogue
Choose what you say carefully. You may insult or befriend NPCs based on what you say. Gather information and keep your secrets close to your chest.
Survive the Night
Stealth is an excellent tool affording your Nightborn the ability to get the drop on Vampire Hunters or Supernatural foes.
The Thirst
Feeding is required to sustain your undead form. Thankfully, Vampire Hunters are always making personal deliveries, with fresh "donations"!
Gothic Night Clubs
Connect with your lost humanity by engaging in mortal activities. Public areas provide many feeding opportunities for the subtle and seductive.
Create your own Bloodhound character, choosing from 10 iconic Vampire lineages with a set of signature lineage power skill trees.
Lineage powers include physical prowess enhancements, shapeshifting, controlling the minds of mortals, and acts of eldritch sorcery.
Fuel Vampire powers by preying upon mortals via stealth, seduction, or brute force.
Elude Mortal Law Enforcement and Monster Hunters, masking your dark nature.
Solve the mysteries of gothic New Orleans by taking quests, discovering clues, and exploring the supernatural underworld.
Battle, evade, or outwit, natural and supernatural foes, using your powers, weapons, and tactics.
Side with a Nightborn faction, the ruling Establishment, the reckless Libertines, or the fanatical Orthodoxy; or eschew them all to forge your own path.
