When Nightmares Come is a tabletop miniatures wargame that delves into the supernatural mysteries of the modern world. Players take on the role of a team of paranormal vigilantes, known as the Nightwatch, who are self-taught occult specialists and monster hunters. Their mission is to tackle the supernatural horrors and investigate the strange disturbances that plague their city. The game's core mechanics revolve around the Action Dice Pool, which features multiple die types and allows for fast and bloody combat. Enemies are tiered, with different levels of difficulty, and players can choose from a variety of flexible player classes to suit their playstyle. Combat resolution is quick and straightforward, with a focus on achieving mission objectives. Additionally, the game incorporates a roleplaying element that enables non-combat challenges and dramatic encounters. This system utilizes the same dice types as the core game's Action Dice Pool and emphasizes quick resolutions. The narrative system adds a fresh dimension to the core miniatures experience, particularly in longer campaigns where the promise of different foes and new storylines encourages long-term playability.
