Midnight. (0.1, WIP)

This project is currently in very early development! Thank you for your interest!

Midnight is a work-in-progress tactical tabletop RPG about a party of hunters who investigate and slay beasts known as midnight terrors in a gothic horror fantasy setting.

The game is unique in its use of the midnight clock mechanic. Play is narratively broken up into different hunts, and at the start of each, the GM sets out a d12 as a direct representation of a literal game-world clock. It can start at any time, often ranging from 7pm to 10pm. During narrative play, called the investigation, PCs investigate the midnight terror, and their actions will cause the clock to tick forward, advancing toward twelve. 

When the clock hits midnight, no matter what, the terror will arrive.

When the terror arrives, play switches to its tactical rules, the confrontation, and the players use what they learned during narrative play to defeat the beast. Thus, each hunt only has one encounter of tactical play.
