Five desperate adventures to save the living from the hungry dead!
Pre-order now and get the PDF immediately!
They are so old they cannot remember their names. They are pale, spindly things, with hollow eyes, and long fingers that scuttle like cave-spiders. They are strong – immensely, inhumanly strong – but act like old, arthritic people, shuffling along painfully, conserving their strength for when they need it. They are fast – terrifyingly, breathtakingly fast – but they move slowly, cautiously, fearfully. Their fear outweighs their preternatural gifts; for centuries, survival and control have been their watchwords, their overriding goals. We must not die, they whisper in the dark, even though they can no longer recall what it is to live.
And if the world must die so they can live, so be it.
The Persephone Extraction is a campaign for Night’s Black Agents, combining ancient horrors from classical mythology with the modern terrors of conspiracy and bioterrorism. It includes the following adventures:
- THE PERSEPHONE EXTRACTION (Emma Marlow): Someone’s framed the Agents for a murder in Paris that hasn’t happened – yet. Warring factions within the Conspiracy struggle for control of a biological weapon, and its designer holds the answers the Agents need. Can they find Morgane Le Corre before her pursuers track her down – and just who else is hunting her?
- THE PALE AGENDA (Bill White): The Conspiracy intends to recruit an international drug smuggler as part of their plan to end the world – but that initiation gives the Agents a vitally needed entry vector into the vampires’ most cherished tool. Corporate intrigue meets occult rituals in Barcelona…
- SLEEPING GIANTS (Will Plant): The trail leads through Moscow to a sealed city, where forbidden plagues slumber in a concrete tomb buried deep beneath the tundra. The Conspiracy are on their way here, to obtain more of the pathogen they need to implement their cryptic Pale Agenda. The Agents are all that stands between the vampires and a global plague…
- CLEAN-HEELED ACHILLES (Heather Albano): Mysterious disappearances and archaeological traces bring the Agents to Istanbul, where they must uncover the secrets of an ancient monastery – and descend into the Underworld to confront the living dead.
- THE PEOPLE OF ASH (Gareth Ryder-Hanrahan): The final assault on the Conspiracy takes the Agents to Greece. There, they must uncover the ancient lair of the vampire elders and destroy them, once and for all time. Their clandestine odyssey ends in darkness…

Looks good – When’s it due, how big (pages) and rough price?
It’s up for playtesting in this month’s See Page XX. We’re hoping to release it later this year, but we don’t have a page count or price details at this stage.
Thanks
Any news on the potential for the release date for the ‘Persephone Extraction’ in PDF?
Thanks
It’s in the art and development phase now, but will be out by the end of 2017! Thanks for checking in.
Is the Persephone Extraction a hardcover or softcover?
This will be a softcover perfect-bound book.
Does the preorder come with early access to the PDF? Also, when is the expected release? Late 2017 (in time for Xmas)?
You’ll have access to the current draft of the rules text, which has not yet been laid out and illustrated. We expect the final print and PDF to release late 2017, though we can’t make any Christmas-related guarantees!
Any updates on when this will be released or an updated PDF will be available for those who preordered? Thanks!
We’re working on edits and the earliest you’d see anything is the end of February but that is a very rough estimate. Further info will be available in See Page XX.
How close are we looking at the Final PDF version or this book seeing print? Really excited for this addition to the NBA line. (Hopefully with Gareth’s DM screen not far behind)
It’s on track to be available in print in August.
Just pre-ordered The Persephone Extraction and love the Pre-order Draft PDF.
I have just a question : is there any way to send errata ? I have spotted a few typos, and would gladly help.
Please email support@pelgranepress.com.
I sent the errata at the provided email address on Septembre 9th 2018.
Kind regards
Any updates? Been waiting awhile since I preordered it at the beginning of the year and haven’t seen anything new since. Thanks!
From the last See Page XX (September 3, 2018 http://site.pelgranepress.com/index.php/see-page-xx-august-september-2018/) :
“And after some layout difficulties, The Persephone Extraction is close to completion. We’ll have the final PDF for pre-orderers later this month”.

Yes, we will send out an email.
