Nights of the Crusades setting and core rules

“I love the idea of working in-game storytelling into the mechanics for a RPG. It’s a bit of a ‘Story Game’ wrapped in a traditional roleplaying game – a hybrid that I’m dying to try out.” ~ Game Knight Reviews

“It attempts, rather effectively, to mirror the true effects of battle on a person’s mind. This is an aspect of battle that is rarely discussed in role-playing games. Most characters either never kill or are homicidal maniacs, depending on genre and in either case the amount of violence is hardly considered by the players. So a game that actually deals with the mental repercussions of fighting and killing other human beings is fairly unique.” ~ Ideology of Madness 

The Tower by the Sea

After a perilous adventure, the characters have stumbled into the care of Zainab, a kindly old woman in her tower by the sea. As they begin their journey home, they pass a nearby village, Nur’Kush, and are confronted with a dark horror. Blame for it falls at the feet of Zainab. The characters must find the truth; or the madness that envelopes Nur’Kush will consume them.

This Chapter for Nights of the Crusades melds tales from Sinbad's adventures and ancient Greek myth, and reveals insights into the Wavering Flame's practices. It also includes new creatures, items and abilities that can be used by a Tale-Weaver for any future games.

100 Travel Encounters – Tales for Dark Roads

Your players have set out on a long journey over the lawless land between cities and villages. During these times of war, petty rulers have their army stretched. They must defend their strongholds but also march out to contain their enemies. This has left the road to chaos. Bandits and worse take what they can, from those who are not swift enough to avoid them, or cannot hold their possessions through force of arms.

The road is a place where the curtain of civilisation is torn apart, and the stage is given to the beasts and killers amongst men. Yet there are those who take the gamble on barren paths; facing starvation, robbery and the elements, in the hope of gaining a reprieve from poverty or the confinement of besieged cities.
