Steampunk Mechs, Secret Cults, and Cosmic Mysteries
NIGHTWATCH takes place in an alternate 19th century in which anomalies called rifts are opening up all over the globe; portals to variants of Earth. These anomalies cause an influx of futuristic technologies, but also alien invaders. In NIGHTWATCH you take on the role of an Associate of Ishtar to fight the alien forces emerging from the rifts and protect the world from their taint.
Dive right into play and never leave
NIGHTWATCH is designed to be a TTRPG Lite, making it suitable for both veterans and newcomers to the TTRPG genre.
The easy skill-check system enables game masters to focus on what truly matters: immersion and storytelling.
The rules are designed to be used modular, allowing players to choose between combat-heavy campaigns or focus deeply on character development, problem-solving, research, and engineering.
Narrative Driven Skill System
Play what ever you want! Nightwatch's career-based skill system allows players to create geeky academics to badass gunslingers. Use enginering perks to construct machines using 'Project System'. Or rule the skies and radio waves with a drone controlling Puppeteers.
Deep Lore and Original Art
NIGHTWATCH is based on The Association of Ishtar series written by Bonsart Bokel. One of the biggest steampunk settings to date, with amazing art by award-winning illustrators like Yohan Alexander.
Reviews from Beta Testers
"In over twenty years of role-play experience, Nightwatch is probably the easiest system to pick up and play. Set in a world of mystery and high-paced action, the system is built around quick action and relatively quick character creation. I have never had more fun DMing."
- Beta Tester
“The game is a rip roaring good time that rewards careful planning and choosing the right tool for the right job. Defeats always have something to learn from, and Victories are highly satisfying.”
- Alpha Tester
