A brief post to inform my beloved readers about two podcast episodes that may be of interest. Firstly we have the sophomore episode of the 'Antipode Cast', a monthly show I co-host with my partner Shikara.

Penny De Redful Writes In
Some of the writing work I've been doing recently for Bloodheist has been in collaboration with Penny De Redful. Penny is the pseudonymous author of the weekly Scandal Sheet, a scurrilous rag full of gossip and rumours, a publication that every vampire in the Undying Empire decries as an atrocious breach of privacy when their name… Continue reading Penny De Redful Writes In
Bloodheist: The Clearlake Sanitarium
I run my vampire heist game Bloodheist fairly regularly, but I don't often post the play reports, which I think is a mistake. I was lucky enough to playtest the game with a small new group this weekend, so I've decided to offer a brief summary of the proceedings. The playtesters rolled up completely random… Continue reading Bloodheist: The Clearlake Sanitarium
Summer Update
It's been quiet here recently. I've gone away for the first time since March 2020 and frankly I've been trying to use my computer as little as I can.

Bloodheist: Playtest I
I recently ran a full playthrough of 'The Crimson Countess', a scenario I'm planning to include with the core rules of Bloodheist, my upcoming vampire heist game. I designed the scenario to be reasonably straightforward to run, without too many locations or named characters. The set-up is that the party are deposited in Mountberg, a… Continue reading Bloodheist: Playtest I
Bloodheist: Folly and Doom
We are back for a few updates on Bloodheist. The ruleset posted yesterday was not entirely complete, as it lacked specifics on Follies and Dooms. Fear not, because this post has you covered. FOLLIES A Folly is triggered whenever a character reaches 3 on their Doom track. They represent the negative effects of gathering Doom… Continue reading Bloodheist: Folly and Doom

From smog-bound London to the furthest reaches of the Undying Empire, humanity lives and dies at the pleasure of the Vampire Houses.
