Steampunk TTRPG
Nightwatch is a tabletop role-playing game set within the world of the Association of Ishtar.
Through play, you step into the shadows of a city that never fully reveals itself. Power moves quietly. Truth is fragmented. Every choice carries weight, and every action leaves a trace.
Nightwatch is one way to experience the world of Ishtar. Not as a distant observer, but as a participant. The game translates the themes of the setting into lived moments at the table, where investigation, tension, and consequence shape the story as it unfolds.
Books and stories
The world of Ishtar is told through novels, graphic stories, and short fiction.
These stories explore different corners of the multiverse. Some focus on grand adventures, others on smaller, more personal moments. Together, they reveal the tone, history, and atmosphere of the world, without ever locking it into a single, fixed canon.
Each book is an invitation. A glimpse into a place, a conflict, or a character that exists within the larger whole.
Games and Play
Role-playing games are not the only way to engage with the world of Ishtar, but they are a powerful one.
Games and interactive experiences allow players to explore the setting through action and choice. They turn ideas, themes, and conflicts into something tangible. Something you can influence.
Whether played as a single session or a longer campaign, these games are designed to let stories emerge naturally, shaped by the people around the table.
Downloads
To support play and exploration, additional material is available for download.
