About the adventure

Nights of Payne Town is an evocative cyberpunk urban fantasy campaign played using the City of Mist RPG system. Step into a gritty noir world where neon lights and ancient magic collide, and myths and legends come to life as gritty detectives, shadowy criminals, and flawed heroes. Set in the corrupt streets of Payne Town, this campaign unfolds across three thematic story arcs: • The Personal Vein: Investigate emotionally charged cases, including a jazz singer whose haunting voice leads to mysterious deaths and a twisted inventor turning a fairground into a deadly trap. • The Mystical Vein: Unravel arcane conspiracies as cults and alchemists push the boundaries of magic and morality, threatening to unleash chaos on an unprecedented scale. • The Criminal Vein: Engage in an all-out turf war as crime lords and rival factions clash, dragging the city into violent chaos that challenges the crew’s loyalties and priorities. At the center of it all is Corbin Payne, the Fisher King—a mythic figure and forgotten tycoon spreading his torment through his Grail Knights, who infect the city with despair and violence. The crew must navigate Payne Town’s labyrinthine streets, where tech and mysticism blur the lines of reality, uncovering truths that challenge their very humanity. City of Mist brings this fusion of cyberpunk and urban fantasy to life with its cinematic, narrative-driven system that puts storytelling and character development at the forefront. Will your crew heal the city’s wounds, succumb to its shadows, or rewrite its fate? Join Nights of Payne Town for a thrilling adventure that challenges your moral compass and tests your ability to balance mythic power with mortal fragility.
