Urban Fantasy Fridays: NightLife (1990)

NightLife is a game I have had on and off for a number of years. I only ever owned the core rules and the Magic book. I never got a chance to play it, but it is a game we talk about every so often in our Elf Lair Games meetings. The game is quintessentially early 90s. It's filled with blood, dark, and dirty streets, and where you get to play the monster. Vampire: The Masquerade may have done it better, but NightLife gave it its all a year earlier.NightLife is set in New York. A strange New York that is sandwiched between the movie Warriors and the First World Trade Center bombing. A city that is hot and perpetually at night. Something like Dark City meets Nightbreed.NightLifeby Bradley K. McDevitt, L. Lee Cerny, Walter H.
