Jason Vey Launches new Kickstarter for Night Shift: VSW Sourcebook

 Jason Vey, staff writer and line developer for TLG, has just launched his second Kickstarter for his Elf Lair Games company. This one is the first sourcebook for his Night Shift: Veterans of the Supernatural Wars RPG of urban fantasy, horror, chosen ones, witches, psychics, and Something Weird. Here's some more about this particular sourcebook, entitled The Night Companion.

They Walk Beside You in the Night...

The Night Companion is the first sourcebook for the Night Shift: Veterans of the Supernatural Wars Role Playing Game, the old-school RPG of Chosen Ones, Witches, Survivors, Psychics, and Something Weird.  Within its pages, you will find: 

• Four new character classes: the Divine Warrior, the Mystic Martial Artist, the Psychic Gunslinger, and the Spirit Rider
• Rules for playing supernatural species including Celestials, Driven, Ghouls, Infernals, Lycanthropes, and Vampires, expanding upon the "Supernatural Race" option in the core rulebook
• New options for generating ability scores for normal, gritty, and cinematic games
• Rules to convert your game from class-and-level to entirely point-buy
• An alternate Alignment system focused on good, evil, light, and dark
• Guidelines to convert your game to a unified mechanic: both d20-based and percentile-based options are covered
• Enhanced combat rules: variable weapon damage, range increments, weapon classes, grappling rules, jumping, drowning, suffocation, poison, disease, and more
• New Arcane Powers and spells, plus enhanced rules for ritual magic 
• A GM section that goes behind the scenes of the system, talks about keeping track of your play style options, gives guidelines for creating cults and secret societies, and discusses tropes of sub-genres of horror and how to use them in your game
• Dozens of new monsters, enemies, and NPCs for your game
• New art by industry notable Bradley K. McDevitt, commissioned just for this book. At first, it will be the new classes and species, but more may be added depending on how well the Kickstarter does (see Stretch Goals). 

Jason has some exciting stretch goals for this one, too, including print Game Master Screens for the game at $6,000, and even an entire new Swords and Sorcery RPG if it hits $30,000. Get in there and show a fellow Troll some love. As Jason says, Carpe Noctem, and of course, Trollzah!
