The Children of Saturn

The people of Petrikstein are tormented by a blood craving beast prowling the night. Players take the roles of parish appointed investigators on a mission to find and slay this alleged Vampyr, before it claims even more lives. Will they be able to find out the truth in web of lies, myths, and fear fueled superstitions? Play to find out!

The Children of Saturn is three things:

- a simplified and streamlined variation on John Harper's Tales from the Wild Blue Yonder series, combining traits and keys into one aspect of the characters.

- a simple module to guide your vampire hunt with ideas to clash evidence of an actual beast with medieval superstitions and modern stereotypes. Players investigate and participate in creating the story, to find out which version of the vampire, if any at all, happens to be true.

- a system to engage players in the world-building and storytelling by assigning them roles, each responsible for different aspects of the fiction. Use special rule of your role to guide your imagination and introduce new elements into the story!
