The Night Crew is my attempt to take the layers from a trophy dark incursion, ideas from a 5-room dungeon, and the CfB mystery mechanic and make a game that is specifically designed to be a one shot. My goal right now is to get something complete enough that I can play test it and get feedback.

Its important to note that this game is still very much in development.  This should be consider Alpha version (or whatever the equivalent is for TTRPG).  I only made it public so that I could enter a Jam.  I may mark it back as under development later while I do playtesting.  Once I have proof read and edited version ready I will be looking to replace any AI art that I placed in the document as they are just place holders to take up white space while I develop.  I hope you all understand.

Concept

Greenfield Village in Dearborn, Michigan, is a nexus of supernaturally charged energy, blurring the boundaries between worlds. This allows supernatural entities to cross over and attracts sensitive souls, including nefarious individuals driven to madness. You are a member of the night crew, tasked nightly with neutralizing these threats and ensuring the safety of visitors the following day.
