#vampire ttrpg

Bloodthirst is a rules-light vampire ttrpg I've been working on for the past couple of months. With a handful of d6s you'll shoot, claw and bite your way through waves of enemies. Sanctuary upgrades let you take on more and more adversaries as you play- culminating in bosses like Mirabel, Forsaken Witch and Opal, Callous Slayer.

Interested? Next month I'll be running a two-week Backerkit campaign- follow along at the below link for more updates!

BLOOD & TEARS, my vampire ttrpg is out now. It's for 1-6 players and is based on the Blades in the Dark rules.

You can define your rules of vampires. Are they weak to flowing water or thresholds or garlic? Can you kill them with radiation? Do they have the power the read minds, or turn into animals? You decide!

Each vampire is defined through their playbook and memories. Figure out how and when you turned, and change your memories as you play to define your vampire, their backstory, and their shifting relationships with other immortals.

If vampires are real then what else is true? Tackle magic by basing it on actual myths and stories about the occult. Are star signs the secret language of the universe? Is remote viewing real? If so, what do they cost you when you try to manipulate them? A grounded approach to magic creates more drama and raises the stakes of the stories you tell.

As you play you will get the attention of one or more factions. Will you bow to The Dominion and their new Undying Empress? Will you evade the sleuths and amateur investigators of The Hunters? Will you play nice with The Others and The Occult? Will your dark secret be discovered by The Grey Zone?

The playbooks of Blood & Tears are based on the classic 4 bodily humours. The Choleric Vampire is mean and aggressive at their worst, charming and a natural leader at their best. The Melancholic vampire is at times introspective and erudite, but often too wrapped up in their memories and regrets. The Sanguine vampire is affable and extroverted, surrounding themselves in beauty and perhaps too many mortals. The Phlegmatic Vampire obsesses over mysteries and the arcane, and is likely to spiral into obsession.

And finally the neophyte as no humour, but has only just joined the ranks of the unliving, and brings all new challenges and questions to established vampire customs.

So, how about it?

Do you want to live forever?

Check out Blood & Tears on itch (where it is currently on sale)

You are a vampire. You are cold, and dead, and so very hungry. But, what’s important, is that you don’t have to survive alone.

LifeBlood is my latest ttrpg and it currently in early access on my Patreon. In it, you play as a vampire learning to create community and connection amongst those you feed on, building this out through tarot guided prompts and journal entries.

If this sounds interesting to you, you can check out the alpha version in the link below, this will also be available on itch.io and DriveThruRPG when it releases fully in the Summer, and in physical form at DragonMeet in November.

The cool thing: "In Thousand Year Old Vampire you chronicle the many centuries of a vampire’s existence, beginning with the loss of mortality and ending with inevitable destruction. Prompt-driven play and simple resource tracking provide easy rules for exploring your character’s human failings, villainous acts, and surprising victories.  Expect gut-churning decisions and irreconcilable acts.

The game mechanics are simple and intuitive. Play progresses semi-randomly through a book of Prompts which let you explore your vampire’s wants and needs, resolve problems, and chart the decline into senescence. Play can happen entirely within the character sheet or can become a journaling activity--both work equally well."

Like come on! Solo roleplay with prompts and a fun story and a beautiful book and vampires and also it's kind of a writing exercise???? I'm in love.

It's like a choose your own adventure novel on steroids!

And then this is the first thing you see on the website:
