mid-'90s occult investigation TTRPG

Investigator Specialisms

In Midnight of the Century, you play as a team of skilled investigators, each a specialist in their own right. Some of you may have worked in law enforcement in another life, or you’ve lived on the fringes of society and dwell in the shadows.

All of you have a role to play in stemming the blood-dimmed tide set to wash across the shores.

The Profiler

You see what the killer sees. You get into their head and realise how thin the line is between good and evil.

Character touchstones: Frank Black, Will Graham, Samantha Waters.

The Detective

You speak for those who can no longer speak for themselves. You see through the lies and connect the dots.

Character touchstones: Frank Pembleton, William Somerset, Amelia Donaghy.

The Agent

You’re driven to protect the innocent, at any cost. You’ve seen the face of evil and survived.

Character touchstones: Dale Cooper, Clarice Starling, Fox Mulder.

The Journalist

The truth is unforgiving, so don’t shoot the messenger. You know what’s really going on and you’re going to blow the lid off the whole damned thing.

Character touchstones: Thomas Veil, Reiko Asakawa, Carl Kolchak.

The Occultist

You see what others don’t, the hidden network between all things. You know what lurks behind the veil and it terrifies you.

Character touchstones: John Constantine, Johnny Smith, Frank Bannister.
