Perhaps a fun one-shot could be a group of normal teens who all are orphans (perhaps all part of a foster family) who experience their "Becoming" at the same time, when a group of hounds/ashmedi/namtar show up at their home with the intention to kill everyone. In the fight they all experience their becoming for the first time and an experienced/older Nightbane helps them to survive the assault but does not survive himself. However, he had documents on him that connect him to the underground railroad and so now these teens need to try and find this safe haven group but they are pursued by Nightlord minions and other dangers along the way.

It has replay value because the "stock" characters are made as just regular humans, and in every new game with new people when the kids' "Becoming" happens the players start rolling on the random tables and run with things from there.

I believe they are putting all their horror eggs in the Dead Reign basket. It is possible and I'd probably create a crossover sourcebook on how to incorporate Dead Reign into Nightbane.

I'd also say that from my perspective - the only holiday PB focuses on is Christmas and GenCon. While Halloween is a big one for them. Kevin's attention is usually is directed at Kathy's (queenofghouls) business (which is understandable).

Forum activity is directly tied to the popularity of a game. I don't expect Nightbane will ever be all that popular. What you could do is offer bonus experience to regular players for posting on the forum; stuff like character back stories, session journals, and original material. Even an enthusiastic group probably won't have a sustained impact though. For that I think you'd need to recruit several groups.

Can't be done. Its an obscure nineteen year old horror game that only ever got five sourcebooks, and its two most recent books are five and ten years old respectively. People who are already fans of Palladium's other stuff might occasionally decide to take a look at Nightbane, but you're never gonna generate interest in the broader roleplaying community.
