Vengeance of Dracula
Open-knowledge reference entry
Vengeance of Dracula is a 1984 role-playing game adventure published by Pacesetter Ltd for Chill.
Plot summary
Vengeance of Dracula is an adventure in which a continuation of Bram Stoker's original novel is adapted for role-playing games. The adventure begins with Dracula's return to England, and the player characters—cast as envoys—are given minimal clues and a sketch map leading them to Hillingham Estate, once home to Lucy Westenra. From this base, they investigate a trail of murders, disappearances, and vampire activity that eventually leads to Carfax and a climactic confrontation. The scenario includes detailed maps of both estates and eight pre-generated character cards. Players encounter figures like one of Dr. Seward's patients, a devoted servant of Dracula with a grotesque obsession with insects.
Publication history

Reception
S. Dillon reviewed Vengeance of Dracula for Adventurer magazine and stated that "To conclude, for those with a passion for vampires, suspense and horror, this is a must. At [the price] though, the material does seem a little scarce.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Vengeance of Dracula” as open-knowledge reference entry. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as open-knowledge reference entry. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Dec 31, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q136746461. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1984.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
