Something very bad happened to you a very long time ago: you died and it fucking hurt.
Your blood is cold, but your skin is colder. Your heart might as well be made of stone.
Your memory is like treacle. Sometimes, you even remember to blink.
Being dead sucks, but I know what will make you feel better. 
Wet your mouth a little, have a drink! It’s time for a party. Let’s…

Paint The Town Red is a sad vampire RPG from SoulMuppet Publishing about depression, partying and falling in love, and explores themes of trauma, vice and loneliness. 

Your characters are vampires, afflicted with the Curse of Undeath. Being dead feels horrid, and the goal of every character is to chase the sensation of feeling alive and escape the rot they feel in their soul.  

Paint The Town Red is set in the greatest cities throughout history, where the Dead mass together to form an active nightlife. Sessions of Paint The Town Red feel more like boozy nights out on the town than heroic quests, complete with pre-drinks, loud music, smoking areas and hangovers.

During character creation, your vampire chooses a Passion, something that moves you forward and makes your blood run hot. These often impulsive and hedonistic activities will make you feel good, but they come with complications that will shape your campaign. Each character chooses a Passion during character creation from a wide list of options, but every vampire also must take Drinking Blood as their second Passion. You are a vampire after all.

At SoulMuppet, we've got a proven track record of producing beautiful hardcover RPGs with tight rules, luscious art and design that prioritise both aesthetics and useability. We’ve partnered with Johan Nohr (MÖRK BORG, CY_BORG, Into The Odd) and a stunning array of writers and artists to bring this to another level.

The game is going to Crowdfunding in October 2024, to celebrate the launch we're having a party and you're invited! We'll be heading to the Arcanist's Tavern in London on Friday 11th October for a night of roleplaying games, undead festivities and bloody cocktails.
