StokerVerse Roleplaying Game Core Rulebook

Description

Roleplaying in the world of Bram Stoker

In the StokerVerse Roleplaying Game, you play all manner of person, from many different walks of life. You might be an assistant vampire hunter, local bobby, a member of the gentry, clergy, or a medical professional. You might be a commoner who has seen too much, or a psychic who sees too far…the choice is yours. Your rag-tag band of investigators must work together to uncover the true evils of the world. Using your skills, status, or secrets, you must thwart the agents of darkness from succeeding in their vile plan.

It is not all about Dracula himself. The StokerVerse drinks deep from contemporary literature, superstition and horror of the Victorian age. You might, for example, meet Dracula’s 4th wife (taken from Bram Stoker’s extensive notes written during his preparation for the novel and to date only seen by the Stoker family). Maybe the likes of Dr. Jekyll or even Jack the Ripper are on the prowl? The GM may look to take the adventure into the maddening world of the insane or into the gothic catacombs of many of London’s cemeteries. You could experience a Victorian public house or gentleman’s club, partake in the earliest medical procedures, dabble with the power of electricity, or delve into the mystic world.

The book is designed as a toolbox to allow the GM to create their own campaigns or one-shots, including detailed multipage campaign arcs, campaign seeds, mini-missions, NPCs, weapons, detailed locations, and enemy characters. You have the option to play either pre-generated characters or to create your own—tailored to your preferences, weapon choices, and role within your team.
