Nights of Payne Town — City of Mist Story Arc with 10 Cases

This City is going to hell. Ordinary people with the power of legends — and no one on the streets even knows. Everyone is hustling. Gods fight for their next paycheck while monsters control the drug trade. Ancient legends that were scheming in the shadows for decades are now finally enacting their insidious plans, raining chaos and suffering on the streets. Behind it all lies a sordid truth and a malignant power that has been feeding on the misery of the City since its early days.

Nights of Payne Town is a story arc book collecting ten cases that can be run individually, through three separate sub-arcs, or as a full ongoing campaign following the insidious operation of an all-powerful Avatar. Each case contains everything you need to run a game of City of Mist: a teaser for your players, the backstory, locations, clues, NPCs, Danger descriptions, and maps.

Three Veins, One Super-Plot

The Criminal Vein follows the rise of an unstoppable crime baron, a violent self-proclaimed monarch, and the struggle for power over the City streets. The Mystical Vein tracks a magical arms race where a mystery collector will stop at nothing to gather every form of magical object and being in the City. The Personal Vein trails the personal tragedy of victims of a scheme to slowly destroy the fabric of society. At the culmination, all three veins converge into a single super-plot.

Modern-day legends featured include Hansel & Gretel, the Wendigo, Goldilocks, the Snow Queen, characters from Arthurian legend, the Philosopher's Stone, King David, Paul Bunyan, spirits of Haitian Voodoo, and many more.
