The Dracula Dossier: Thrill of Dracula

20
Apr

In THE THRILL OF DRACULA, Kenneth Hite takes apart Dracula — the novel, the movies, the myth, even the history — into his component pieces: characters, tropes, symbols, story beats, effects. With those pieces, Ken shows you how to build new yet mythic stories about the King of the Vampires or about your own creatures of the night, tuned for thriller adventure, cosmic horror, or even intense personal drama. This standalone book suitable for all fans of games, storytelling, and Dracula will be delivered in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats.

From the first medieval atrocity stories about Vlad the Impaler to Bram Stoker’s immortal novel to the most recent Universal blockbusters, The Thrill of Dracula zooms through centuries of blood, bats, and – ballet? — to bring you the most complete look at the Count’s story ever!

  • See Dracula take on not just Van Helsing but Batman, Blade, Buffy, Billy the Kid — and Abbott and Costello!
  • Read the occult mysteries behind Nosferatu, and untangle the shifting time and space of the Hammer Dracula series!
  • Follow Dracula into space, and into Spanish!

The Thrill of Dracula includes:

  • The first Dracula legends, from dancing dead men to the garden of the hanged
  • The foundation pieces of the novel and the myth: characters, settings, tropes and story beats
  • Plots and reviews of 40 movies, including every Dracula film from Universal and Hammer Films – and how they too have added to the Dracula mythology

Geniuses from Orson Welles to Werner Herzog have remade Dracula – now you can, too! Hite gives you their tools, tools you can use to build new yet mythic stories about the King of the Vampires or about your own creatures of the night, tuned for thriller adventure, cosmic horror, or even intense personal drama.

So sharpen your stakes and prepare for the thrill of your Un–Lifetime — The Thrill of Dracula!

See the “coming attractions” of THE THRILL OF DRACULA in 31 DAYS OF DRACTOBER, as Kenneth Hite takes you on a tour through the cinema de Dracula! Every day, he looks at one film version of the legendary story, from the classic NOSFERATU to the, um, less than immortal DRACULA 3000. Hit the Hammer highlights, the Lugosi limelights, and more — with advice on adapting any or all of them for your own vampire games. You can catch ’em all here.

Earthquakes, Old Parr, and Dracula’s Guest

Posted on by Gareth Ryder-Hanrahan

(Esteemed KARTAS patreon-backer Loius Sylvester asked some questions about The Dracula Dossier, and they were marginally more my wheelhouse than Ken’s, so…) I have been reading Dracula Unredacted alongside Klinger’s New Annotated Dracula and I am about halfway through both books. I have a few questions. 1) The dates in Unredacted do not match the Annotated. In […]

The Dracula Dossier: Dracula Unredacted

20
Apr

Take your players on the greatest vampire hunt in history—more than a hundred years in the making.

Dracula is not a novel. It’s the censored version of Bram Stoker’s after-action report of the failed British Intelligence attempt to recruit and control the perfect asset — the ultimate weapon — Count Dracula. Kenneth Hite and Gareth Ryder-Hanrahan have restored the deleted characters and redacted information, inserting annotations and clues left by three generations of MI6 analysts. This is Dracula Unredacted.

Spread pages 6 & 7This new edition of Dracula adds new letters and recordings, diary entries long thought lost, and documents suppressed by Her Majesty’s Government … until now. From the first tentative contact between British intelligence and the un-dead, to the werewolf of Walpurgisnacht, to the cataclysmic disappearance of Dracula in volcanic fire, read the story you’ve known for years … for the first time.
Dracula Unredacted does for the Dracula Dossier what Henry Armitage’s letters did for Armitage Files or The Book of the Smoke for Bookhounds of London.

People who bought this also bought Night’s Black Agents, The Dracula Dossier: Thrill of Dracula and NBA Director’s Screen and Resource Book.

The Dracula Dossier: Edom Field Manual

20
Apr

Drink from the chalice, and join the ranks of the unseen immortals.

You’re on the inside now.

You know what must be done to defend Queen and Country, to defend everything we’ve built, everything we stand for. You deserve access to the innermost sanctum, and this is your key – the EDOM FIELD MANUAL. It will tell you everything you need to know about Operation Edom – what we do, how we do it, and what we’re working towards. It will also teach you how to handle our special assets, and how to put them down if they go rogue.

For more than a century, the top-secret operation within MI6 codenamed ‘Edom’ has defended the United Kingdom from the machinations of the Un-Dead. This book describes the operation’s history, methods, and tradecraft, initiating you into the innermost secrets of the British vampire program.

For players – create your own Edom officers and hunt vampires with the sanction and backing of the British government! Immerse yourself in the clandestine world with eyes-only documents and briefings. Call on Dukes for aid and counsel, gather intel with the aid of Edom’s networks of informants, and gear up with specialised anti-vampire weapons and tactics. Use the Fields of Edom campaign frame to play the spies hunting for the stolen Dracula Dossier, or defy your masters and complete the original mission by taking Dracula down for good.

For Directors – Build your own Edom with a guide to the operation’s structure and methods. Two dozen non-player characters give you a supporting cast for Edom-centred games. Explore Edom’s secret history and render its shadowy present in vivid detail. Advice and campaign options help you bring the operation to a thrilling conclusion – or a bloody catastrophe.

So watch for the cup-and-blaze mark and the hand signal. Keep your kukri close, and remember your training. Four generations of agents have passed the cup on to you – do not falter at the last!

The Edom Field Manual stands alone as a guide to a vampire hunting program. Combine it with the other books in the Dracula Dossier series for insight into Edom its machinations.

People who bought this also bought The Dracula Dossier: Edom Files, The Dracula Dossier: Director’s Handbook and The Dracula Dossier: Dracula Unredacted.
