Written by Michael C. LaBossiere (1992, GDW)

Nightsider was the second and final folio-style adventure released by Games Designer Workshop (GDW) in the Dark Conspiracy line. Well, when I say adventure, I actually mean a collection of three loosely connected scenarios based in Maine, New England (but easily transferable) that all involve an otherworldly invasion by the titular Nightsiders. These creatures, beings able to inhabit the bodies of the dead, are slowly but surely infiltrating our dimension, and, as always, it falls on the Minion Hunters to stop this invasion before it is too late.

– Reviewed and Updated in April 2020 –

Incident at Redview is an sandbox styled adventure written for 1st Edition of Dark Conspiracy. Designed as a introduction for both new players and new Minion Hunters placing the characters in the midst of an outbreak of an apocalyptic scale.

‘Somethings wrong in Redview, I can feel it in my bones… you know what I mean?”

For the residents of Madison, however, stuck way out in the middle of the Outlaw, with no prospects and no opportunities, the chemical plant at Redview is their last, best shot at making something of themselves. They work there, as scientists, security guards, just about anything really, to make ends meet…

But did anyone ever stop and ask just what Chema is up to in this out of the way, lost to everyone, sort of place? No? Well our Minion Hunters are about to find out. Armed only with their courage and what few resources they can scrounge up, can they survive ‘The Incident at Redview’?
