It includes information about the Prague branch of the Society, a gazetteer of the city complete with adventure locations and secret societies, a chapter with over a dozen local mythical beings including Drekavac, Golem, the infamous Baba Yaga, and – of course – the Vampire.

About City of My Nightmares
Did you think you were safe from the vaesen in the crowds and lights of the city? Think again. Unspeakable horrors lurk in the dark alleys, crawl underneath the cobblestone streets, or soar through the twilight skies above.

City of My Nightmares is a full-length campaign in four parts in which the characters are invited to the capital to investigate a series of grisly murders, only to become embroiled in a much deeper mystery involving the very origins of the Society itself and threatening to throw the city into utter chaos.

City of My Nightmares is set in 19th century Stockholm but can be adapted to London, Prague or any Gothic metropolis of the era. This beautifully illustrated hardback book will include a separate large map of Stockholm and a huge newspaper handout (format 400x558mm) if unlocked as a stretch goal.

The book is written by Kiku Pukk Härenstam, and illustrated by Johan Egerkrans and Anton Vitus.
