Nacht Engel

A story roleplaying game about jealous, paranoid authors living under oppressive totalitarian rule. Players portray writers who guard the secrets of their work while trying to convince one another that they have created groundbreaking art, all while avoiding imprisonment or death. The game uses a GMless structure of vignettes, interrogations, interludes, and ensembles, with shared scene-framing and authority. It requires no preparation and uses a poker deck and tokens to track drama points. Games support three or more players and generally take longer with larger groups.
