A downloadable roleplaying game

Once you were feared, but now you are mostly forgotten.

The humans have taken to the stars and live within great space stations — protected from solar radiation. Now's your chance to inspire fear, live amongst them, or maybe a bit of both. Manage your hunger, avoid the hunters, and gather thralls to carry out your plans.

Will you achieve your goals or will you succumb to the beast within?

You will need:

  • approximately 30 to 60 minutes
  • about 10 six-sided dice in mostly one colour
  • a means to respond to prompts such as a journal, a recorder, your voice, or your thoughts
  • a scrap piece of paper and a pencil with an eraser.

You play a round by:

  • rolling a collection of dice and assigning them to actions to carry out your goals while managing your vampiric needs
  • watching on as your thralls fade while you continue
  • responding to a prompt to explore your vampire and how they are adapting (or not) to this futuristic world.

Gain More Thralls has 3 possible gain amounts (1/2/3) but 4 groupings of die values (1/23/45/6). Should that be 1/23/456, or is 1 on the die a gain of 0 thralls, or …?

Hey! The forward slash is the delimter for those lists, so you have:

  • 1-2: 1 thrall
  • 3-4: 2 thralls
  • 5-6: 3 thralls.

Thanks! I definitely read the em-dash as the separator there. Oops.

No, thank you! It's helpful feedback. I'll probably reword that section to make it clearer :)
