Review As night falls on Belgrade, you and your team of special agents go on high alert. You've got the gadgetry of Bond and the competence of Bourne, but this is a shadowy international conspiracy you're up against: drug lords, corporate masterminds, bought politicians, crooked Interpol agents, and vampires. The bad kind. This is the world of tabletop RPG Night's Black Agents. In Night's Black Agents, the players take on the roles of secret agents working to uncover an insidious worldwide conspiracy that's controlled by evil vampires. It's filled with innovative features that help create a unique gaming experience and make it relatively easy for the game master to create an elaborate global vampire conspiracy without spending endless hours on preparation. At the core of Night's Black Agents is Pelgrane Press' Gumshoe system, an RPG that puts investigation at the center of the action. The age-old problem with doing mystery-solving scenarios in RPGs is that one bad roll of the dice can put up a massive roadblock that stalls the entire adventure. Gumshoe avoids this by making sure the players get the clues without having to roll as long as they ask the right questions, they get the answers (although successful rolls can reveal more valuable or complete clues). It's then up to the players to put the pieces together and figure out how to advance the investigation. It's an elegant system that puts the focus on the players' skill, not die rolls. --io9Imagine if you were a former spy or intelligence officer or intelligence analyst, and you discovered a fundamental truth about the world. A truth that revealed just who was in charge of the world and might just have been in charge of the world for centuries or more... Not just mere humans of the New World Order or the Prieuré de Sion, but vampires! What if these vampires were really in charge of your former agency? Or the government? Or an international bank? Or all three? What would you do? This is the set up for Night's Black Agents, the latest RPG to be written by Ken Hite using the GUMSHOE System, an RPG that the author pitches as The Bourne Identity meets Dracula or a Vampire Spy Thriller. As good as the toolkits that Night's Black Agents provides are, the rules and advice deliver on the game and genre that they promise. Whether it is blood pumping action or heart stopping shocks, Night's Black Agents is probably best shaken, and definitely has the Vampire Spy Thriller staked. --Reviews from R'lyehIt is worth mentioning how much fun this book is to read. There are in jokes, sidebar commentary and examples from playtesting scattered throughout. The materials a pleasure- especially when you come to the sections on conspiracy building, running in European cities, and gamemastering GUMSHOE in general. It offers a number of really great ideas for running any kind of modern game: investigation, conspiracy and/or supernatural. I d recommend it as a sourcebook for that alone. --RPGgeek P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); About the Author Kenneth Hite is an author and role-playing game designer.

Perfect for groups that like the role play but are not crazy about remembering tons of rules and modifiers. The world building is fantastic, providing framework to build not only a one-shot adventure but an entire saga. Highly recommend! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My favorite iteration of GUMSHOE *by A***R on May 19, 2016* My favorite iteration of GUMSHOE. It uses the automatic elements of Investigation to propel the cinematic and action oriented scenes, and let's you do more role-playing and less roll playing with it's resource management system. Also highly fluid, so you can just as easily do other action oriented agent related games (Such as modeling James Rollins Sigma Force or even the old Spycraft world). ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice take on the espionage genre *by K***D on December 30, 2014* I don't know much about Vampires or really have an interest in them, I bought this to use more or less as a modern espionage RPG. Very impressed with the lore and lengths that the author has gone to to present the themes (both espionage and vampires).The book is well laid out. My only negative comment is that the intro to GUMSHOE isn't entirely clear to me. I think spending more time upfront on how that differs from normal systems would help someone knew to the system. I think it makes a few assumptions as to your experience level that I wish it didn't.That element aside, I feel like this is a strong and interesting system, even for those without an interest in the vampire aspect of it, though I've come to appreciate why that was chosen as the setting. ## Frequently Bought Together - Pelgrane Press PELGN01 Night's Black Agents RPG - Core Book - Pelgrane Press The Dracula Dossier - Director's Handbook --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/33816865-pelgrane-press-pelgn01-nights-black-agents-rpg-core-book](https://www.desertcart.it/products/33816865-pelgrane-press-pelgn01-nights-black-agents-rpg-core-book) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-05-14*
