Bind Thy Blood [BETA v0.25]

You play as a freshly turned werewolf on a journey to find a coven of witches who have the power to dampen your inner beast before the rising of the blood moon, which will make your curse permanent. You are also trying to dodge a brutal slaying by the very beast hunters you once called allies. You clash with humanity, nature, and the supernatural as your choices carve your path to freedom (or doom).

This is meant to be a short and easy to pickup rpg that a person can complete in a single session. A full session should take about 1-1.5 hours to play (possibly more if you’re an avid journaler), and uses a 2d6, 1d10, & 1d20 for the beta (though the full version will use a d100 instead of a d20).

This game takes inspiration from Blades in the Dark, Betrayal at House on the Hill, Daggerheart, and probably other games I'm forgetting to list at the moment lol. Currently, this RPG consists of 4 pdfs - one of the rules, one of possible encounters, (the full game will have 100!), one character sheet, and one optional session log.

While I have played and read the rules of many ttrpgs and dabbled in game design, this is my first experience trying to publish a game publicly, so feedback is deeply appreciated! As this is a beta, I made a feedback form you can find here or at the end of the rules or oracle pdfs - please consider filling it out. Participants will receive a free hardcover physical copy of the full game handbound by me* once it is complete!

Artwork (moon, werewolf) was purchased with commercial licenses by human artists who drew them by hand, and further edited by my hands. The game itself also does not contain any AI-generated content. I used my brain to make this RPG!

*this applies to good faith submissions only, please don't submit a blank form or call me slurs or something in your submission and expect to get a free game lmao
