The vampires' world is in chaos and it's up to you to sort it out! Fast-paced LUMEN mechanics keep the dice rolling and blood flowing as players face down vampires, hunters and more with the unique powers of their chosen archetypes.
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.
The Idol, with their effortless glamour
The Juggernaut, an imposing figure dealing massive harm
The Mentalist, wielding potent psychic abilities
The Sanguimancer, harnessing powerful blood magic
The Sentinel, from whom there is no escape
The Spectre, springing suddenly from the shadows
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?
Work in progress: Idol Archetype by Vagelio Kaliva.
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.
