The city of Heliwyr is damned. Decades ago, a mad priest officiated an ancient ritual, awakening a wicked force that branded every inhabitant, corrupting their blood. On nights with a blood moon, the curse awakens, depriving the inhabitants of their minds. Those who decide to follow the path of the priest, voluntarily feeding on the corrupt blood of people, become Apostles: almost immortal creatures, with bestial features, devoid of any humanity.
Bloodstone is an action-packed horror tabletop roleplaying game with a dark, gothic feel.
The players are a group of hunters, sent to the city of Heliwyr on a blood moon night, to hunt down an Apostle who is attempting to ascend, opening a gateway to the realm of the Ancients.
The game has a high pace: the Hunt is a race against the clock.
Bloodstone is designed for one-shot games: every time we play, we play different Hunters, who will face new obstacles and challenges every time: the blood moon nights in Heliwyr never end.
Dual Pamphlet Game
The GM pamphlet (Game Master's Scroll) features most of the rules for running the game, the setting, and adventures sparks.
The Player pamphlet (Hunter's Scroll) is the character sheet itself and it contains character creation and other character-specific rules.
Streamlined Forged in the Dark Rules
Because the game is action-oriented, the Blades in the Dark ruleset is revised and compacted:
A Stamina System inspired by the souls-like games, like Dark Souls and Bloodborne, instead of the stress system.
Character Creation is done by answering a bunch of questions: in 1 minute you can start playing the game.
No Playbooks: each hunter is differentiated by their origin, their attire style, and their weapons.
Only three attributes: prowess, resolve, and wit.
Special actions to summon ghosts from other worlds and visit the Workshop, a place between the nightmare and the dream.
