Blood Dark Thirst

ADD TO WISHLIST >

All the bloodsucking, none of the baggage!

This is a complete vampire RPG where you get to play demonic bloodsuckers stalking the night, feeding on mortals, and reveling in the dark, pre-apocalyptic cities of the modern era.  Whether you're good, evil, or just out for yourself is completely up to you... but every choice has a price.

Blood Dark Thirst uses the VSd6 system, popularized by Alpha Blue, Crimson Dragon Slayer, and The Outer Presence.  That means it's extremely rules-light, old school, and easy to learn/play/run.  So, even though it uses d6 dice pools, rather than a standard d20, it's classified as 4th wave OSR.

This DOES include a character sheet (just updated the PDF) and a bare-bones introductory scenario is also provided.  When purchasing Blood Dark Thirst you get both the bloody parchment color version and printer-friendly black and white version.

FAQ: Instead of straight-up vampire horror, can I use this game to play something like the vampire mockumentary What We Do In The Shadows?  Sure, you can.  While there aren't any specific comedy rules per se, Blood Dark Thirst can be your primed and ready canvas for humorous vampire one-shots and campaigns.  Check out DraconicMagazine.com for an example!

Would someone be able to recommend additional adventures (OSR or other systems) that would work well with the initial one laid out here?

Are the VSd6 rules included in this PDF?
And if not, where do you buy or download them? I find no such rule system when I search under the [Rule System] drop down. Nor can I find any publications but this one when I do a global search of VSd6.

A character sheet will be added to the PDF very shortly! Updated PDFs will automatically be available to everyone once the change has been made. Thanks for your patience.

How is this different from, let's say, Chill (Creature Feature), Stalking the Night Fantastic or Nightbreed or VTM/R?


Thanks!

Thanks for the comment, Alexis. The only one of those I'm familiar with is V:tM/R. Blood Dark Thirst is different than V:tM/R because the whole thing is even more rules-light with far less setting "baggage." Plus, d6 dice pools instead of d10, and the VSd6 system is compatible with OSR games. The differences are subtle, but they are there.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
