Back This: The Night Companion for Night Shift: Veterans of the Supernatural Wars

Jason Vey and Timothy Brannan are two talented people who I've been fans of for years and their Night Shift: Veterans of the Supernatural Wars was a high point for me last year when it was fulfilled. Who doesn't want to play Buffy/Angel/Hellboy using, essentially, ADnD 1E? And as a fan of Eden Studios' RPG products I loved that the format they chose was a callback to Unisystem books.

The Night Companion is on Kickstarter right now and only has 4 days to go. I've been swamped or I'd have been drawing attention to it sooner but you still have time.

The Night Companions has tons of options and settings and I can't wait to get my grubby hands on it.

I really can't recommend their stuff more and I think you will love Night Shift if you give it a try.

• When a Slugga attacks with a melee attack roll the damage die twice and take the best result.

Slugga Boyz are the most common and typical Ork warriors and represent what the average Imperial human thinks of when they imagine an Ork. Slugga Boyz are anarchic brutes who love nothing more than a good fight, often leaving a horrific mess of whatever they attack on the battlefield.

The Night-God was a time-forgotten entity, worshiped in Shadizar, Zamora. It was served by a cult of red-clothed acolytes, led by the priestess Hajii, who kidnapped a young girl each month and took her to a minaret as an offering to keep the peace with the Night-God (despite never having seen it).
