Nightwatch: Rising Tide
“The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born: now is the time of monsters.”
Rising Tide is the first Lore Supplement for the Steampunk-themed TTRPG Nightwatch and the world of Atlas, revealing a reality where the boundaries between nations, factions, and planes are no longer holding. What began as isolated incidents has become a pattern. What was contained is now spreading.
The tide is rising—and no one agrees on what it will bring.
This supplement delves deeper into the forces shaping the modern age of Nightwatch, offering new perspectives, factions, and scenarios that challenge both Associates and Puppet Masters alike.
Inside, you’ll find:
New factions & power blocs — From corporate empires to esoteric orders, each with their own designs on the future
Expanded Wyrd Tech — Technologies refined, weaponized, and increasingly difficult to control
Rift escalation — Larger incursions, unstable zones, and the growing realization that containment may no longer be possible
Story frameworks & scenarios — Missions that explore political tension, creeping horror, and systemic collapse
A shifting world order — Nations adapt, alliances fracture, and something older begins to surface
The question is no longer whether the world will change. The question is who will shape what comes after.
