Bloodthirst: fast-paced vampire roleplaying

Bloodthirst is a fast-paced vampire roleplaying game built on Gila RPGs' LUMEN system. Toss a handful of six-sided dice, read the highest result, and rain down Hell on hunters and rival vampires alike. 

There are six playable vampire archetypes to choose from. 

Each archetype is kitted out with a unique Killing Blow, passive bonus, and three Powers. 

When your mission is complete, return to your Sanctuary to recover and continue the fight. Here you'll manage resources to acquire different upgrades. Will you hire a blood sorcerer to supply the team with potions, or install an armoury to access better equipment? 

Bloodthirst's text is around 95% completed and the game is in active playtesting. The complete text will be released to those who backed at any Digital Early Access or Digital Complete pledge level immediately after the crowdfunding campaign concludes (provided it successfully funds.)

The primary purpose of this campaign is to commission Vagelio Kaliva for art of the vampire archetypes (in the style of the Idol shown above.) The final version of the game will be released once art is finalised. At this time we anticipate a November 2026 release. Backers will be informed of any significant delays. 

We've hit our minimum funding goal! Art will be commissioned of three player archetypes: the Idol, the Sanguimancer and the Sentinel. This means one piece of art per two-page spread throughout the archetype section, giving plenty to inspire players as they create their vampiric warriors. 

It's the Spectre's turn to be depicted in all their glory! If we reach this funding goal, art of the Spectre archetype will be commissioned in addition to the existing three. 

The psychic terror themselves! If we reach this goal art of the Mentalist archetype will be commissioned in addition to all those above. 

Overwhelm foes with endurance and force! At this goal the final archetype receives art.
