Reviews

​ BETA TESTER  "In over twenty years of role-play experience, Nightwatch is probably the easiest system to pick up and play. Set in a world of mystery and high-paced action, the system is built around quick action and relatively quick character creation. I have never had more fun DMing." 

POP'S SOLO GAMING. "My own experiences mirrored the positive feedback from beta testers. The game delivers on its promise of accessible mechanics and engaging gameplay. It's a world where strategic planning is rewarded, and overcoming challenges feels genuinely satisfying. Even a chaotic moment, like a zeppelin crashing into a clock tower during a chase, translates into pure, 80’s cinematic action. "Nightwatch" isn't just a game; it's an invitation to explore a richly imagined world, and early impressions suggest it succeeds in offering a unique and captivating TTRPG experience."
