04-22-2026 – AudioRPG has announced a new release of Nightbane®, the cult favorite dark fantasy role-playing game from Palladium Books. For the first time, the full Nightbane® line will be available as matching hardcover editions alongside a complete set of professionally narrated audiobooks, offering new ways for players and game masters to experience the system.

Nightbane® is a horror tabletop RPG built around transformation, identity, and a hidden war against supernatural forces. Set in a version of Earth altered by a global event known as the Dark Day, the game places players in the role of the Nightbane – individuals capable of shifting between human and monstrous forms while resisting an unseen invasion by the Nightlords.

The release includes seven titles covering the core game and its expansions:

• NightbaneRPG
• Between the Shadows
• Nightlands
• Through the Glass Darkly
• Shadows of Light
• Dark Designs
• Nightbane Survival Guide

“The 7 limited edition Nightbane® foil hardcover books are something every fan and Palladium collector is going to want. I know I do! Palladium Books has never offered any Nightbane® sourcebooks as hardcovers. These books are truly something special. And the audiobooks are amazing. I’m wowed by the professional narrations and how they bring each book to life like never before. I love listening to them.” – Kevin Siembieda, Publisher and Game Designer

The audiobook format is designed to support a range of uses, including session preparation, system learning, and accessibility. By presenting the full text in audio form, players can engage with the material outside of traditional reading time.

The crowdfunding campaign for Nightbane® – Special Edition Hardcovers & Audiobooks launches on May 19.
