Kobold Press are preparing to release the Night Hunters into the wild.
Coming soon to Kickstarter, this new and forthcoming campaign contains two new books, each of which being a ‘complete horror toolkit for both players and Game Masters’. Entitled Night Horrors and Night Terrors, they are designed to be used with both and 5e and Kobold Press’ own Tales of the Valiant roleplaying game. Each is a ‘terrifying trove of tools to twist fear into unforgettable adventures’ in a world where ‘terror thrives, and only the brave dare stand against the dark’.
Inside Night Hunters you’ll find:
The new Shadow Tokens system: these new mechanics encourage players to take greater risks in exchange for greater rewards.
A collection of 60 new curses, diseases and hazards, all of which threaten to ‘corrupt, weaken, and unsettle your characters’.
A suite of new effects for 5e’s Dread rules
A swathe of new tables with which to ‘generate ghost stories on the fly, escalate horrors […] or weave tragic dark romances.
A collection of new and ‘fully realized villains’, each of which is brought to you with ‘their own schemes, lairs, minions, and chilling rewards’.
Night Terrors, meanwhile, contains 12 horror-themed adventures, all of which utilise the new mechanics and elements included in Night Hunters.
See the Kobold Press website and the Night Hunters Kickstarter pre-launch page for more details.

Actual play shows, such as Critical Role and Dimension 20 have been massively popular over the last ten years. Episodes can attract millions of viewers and Critical Role have sold out arenas across the globe, including Wembley Arena shows that sold out in under an hour. Dungeons & Dragons has often been the game of choice for shows and now D&D publisher Wizards of the Coast is getting in to the act with a new actual play series called ‘Dungeon Masters’ launching on YouTube on 22nd April.
