Do You Want to Live Forever? 

At the end of all things we will be there. If we can feed on blood, if our corpses remain unmolested in the day ,and the world remains ignorant to our existence, then we will see the end of everything and everyone. 

Will you learn to tame your humours, or will your vices win the better of you? Will you find kinship with The Others? Will you fall prey to The Hunters? Will you bow to The Dominion? Will you brave calamities? What will you remember? What will you forget? What kind of vampire will you be? 

Vampires Forged in the Dark 

Using the Blades in the Dark rules system, Blood & Tears gives you all the tools you need to tell compelling tales of immortal vampires and their messy lives. Drawing on inspiration from recent and classic vampire stories, players define their vampires with memories and playbooks that describe long histories of passion and conflict. Will you be a depressed melancholic vampire? An over eager sanguine vampire? A domineering choleric vampire? An obsessed phlegmatic vampire? Or a brand new neophyte?

Players: 1-6

Requires: Six-sided dice

Playtime: ~3 hours per session

Digital character sheets can be found here.

Also available on DriveThruRPG.

Is it possible to optimize the game file? 120mb for reading the PDF is a bit heavy.

I can look into it!

Just wondering if any community copies will be available soon

Many thanks
