Developer Statements

“We’re incredibly excited to be diving back into the world of Nosgoth with these two passion projects,” said Ryan Brown from Lost In Cult. “Both the encyclopedia and the tabletop game have been designed with the fans in mind, and we can’t wait to see them return to this beloved franchise.”

The Book of Nosgoth

Written by veteran games journalist Nic Reuben (Rock Paper Shotgun), The Book of Nosgoth features in-depth sections on Nosgoth’s varied locations, factions, and inhabitants, alongside a detailed timeline of the epic rivalry between Kain and Raziel.

Readers will also discover original concept art, sketches, maps, exclusive behind-the-scenes interviews with the developers, and an archival exploration of the creation of all five games, featuring insights from the artists and visionaries behind the gothic masterpiece.

Scourge of the Sarafan – A Dark Fantasy Tabletop RPG

Scourge of the Sarafan is a tabletop role-playing game set during the Sarafan Order’s crusade against the vampiric scourge. Utilizing the critically acclaimed MÖRK BORG ruleset, this game delivers a lethal and atmospheric RPG experience with minimalist mechanics and high-stakes gameplay.

Players take on the role of warrior-priests in the Sarafan Order, exploring Nosgoth’s frozen lakes, bitter mountains, and deep, sunless forests. With six playable classes, unique Sarafan weapons and spells, and a bestiary filled with nightmarish creatures, players can carve their own path in a campaign focused on vampire hunts, Nosgoth’s hidden history, and supernatural incursions into the spectral realm.
