A downloadable game

Play a vampire hunter focused blind on the scent of a blood trail. Choose between belonging to an Order or hunting solo. Will their fanatism to old values be their glory or an ironic downfall?


MOVES

Bloodhound: Once you have your track (nemesis) set on nothing can dissuade.


BLOOD

Your understanding of life is tainted by the nature of blood:  Lifeforce, illness bearer, the smell of violence, the way it burns your body or ice your veins, the way it stick and stains. The taste of it.


Choose a Bloodline Path

The Hypocrite Oath: When you reached the Leader place you swore the oath in the most ironical way you could possible imagine: You had to drink a sip of blood that the Guards claimed to be straight from their founder.  Impossible. It tasted fresh. It tasted like a promise you wanted  to keep. It made you feel alive like never before. Sweet and warm.  They gave you a flask with it. Only use when the situation is dire.

You can’t wait for it to get dire.

I am an One Man Army:  Alone you got in, alone you will get out. Cunning and ruthlessness are your most powerful weapons. Go for the jugular: your attacks tactics rely in precision and quickness: There is no one to watch your back out there, so be fast and decisive.

includes: Special Consumables Weapons and a new Management Dynamic for either path choice.

UPDATE

The Leech Supplement

Adapted from Vampyr (2018) with lots of love and blood. These Leeches aren’t your regular fun monsters of the week—these vampires are hungry manipulative and ruthless. They bring powerful abilities like blood and shadow manipulation and a 25-harm capacity to overwhelm your hunters. Whether you’re running solo or part of a Guard, these foes are intentionally tough, requiring tactical choices and adaptive gameplay as it is with the original video game.

MOVES AS NEW MECHANICS

With mechanical changes like the Bloodbath environmental trigger and reactive moves that challenge your players at every turn, each encounter will feel tense and dynamic.


Ekon, an elevated villain type of monster, has narrative power with mesmerization and the ability to regenerate, making every battle a high-stakes puzzle to solve.

Designed for campaigns that thrive on complex battles and for people interested in Doomed characters that turn into Monstrous as a morally questioning narrative path, this supplement will push hunters to their limits.


Warning: Contains brutal and explicit descriptions of violent acts, gore and disturbing content involving blood. Player discretion is advised.


Artistic Influences:

This playbook was modeled after Geoffrey Mccullum of the videogame Vampyr, it is advised a quick dip into the game story for at least a solid grasp of the brutality and goreness that this setting is meant to be played at.
