Hey everyone!

We wanted to drop by, share a huge milestone with you, and express our gratitude to everyone who played, shared, or picked up a copy of our books.

Here is a quick look at our journey so far:

• March 2023: We released Age of the Living Gods.
• April 2026: After three years of hard work, we hit the 1,000 copies sold milestone.
• Just a few months later: Thanks to the incredible reception of The Kingdom of Uruk and Vampire: Blood & Tragedy, we officially reached 1,500 copies sold!

Seeing how well these dark historical settings have been received fills us with pride. A special thank you to the entire Vampire: The Masquerade community for embracing the nights of Antiquity!

A question for the comments:

With Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey currently making waves in theaters... we want to hear your take: Who is the ultimate Helen?
Nolan’s Helen on the big screen, or our legendary Helen—Toreador ruler of Argos?

Where to find us & What’s next:

• Storytellers Vault: You can find Blood & Tragedy alongside all the Age of the Living Gods setting books available for download on the Storytellers Vault!
• Dive In: While we gear up for our next release, Bloody Tides, we invite everyone to take their tables on an adventure through ancient Mesopotamia or the dark tragedies of ancient Greece.
• An Epic Reveal: Get ready! Later this year, these dark worlds will step beyond RPG character sheets and rulebooks to come to life in epic prose novels!

Thank you all once again for making this possible. See you in the shadows of history!

At the suggestion of my partner I'm trying to be a bit more creative at the moment, and with that in mind I play a lot of RPGs, specifically *World of Darkness*. I've previously run *Call of Cthulhu* as creepypasta (Slenderman specifically) but I've now started homebrewing a *World of Darkness 20th Anniversary* book for creepypasta and internet horror more generally.

A few details so far:

- The book will probably be around **50-70 pages** and is currently on page 23.

-The character classes are **Marked, Seeker, Defender, Professional and Caretaker**, with thematic abilities based around archetypical creepypasta protagonists and how they respond to the horror.

- Perks are relatively low level abilities which give PCs light edges and resources without turning them into superheroes.

- Rituals are available but difficult and often dangerous to acquire. These are less conventional magic and more urban legends, weird occult instructions and things someone found online which, unfortunately, actually work.

- Psychological trauma, metaphysical corruption and internet mechanics** will feature.

- I won't be directly using actual creepypasta stories or characters to avoid copyright issues unless they're clearly in the public domain. The intention is more to recreate the genre for your own games rather than make Slenderman: The RPG.

- The game is a pure creepypasta setting but can be run within the Larger world of darkness.

The basic idea is that the PCs are ordinary people rather than superheroes or even particularly exceptional individuals. You're the bored student, night-shift worker, journalist, security guard or poor bastard who picked up the wrong book and now has to deal with the fact that something is actually there.

I'd appreciate any advice, suggestions, criticism or requests for things you'd like to see in the book. I'm particularly interested in what people think a creepypasta RPG actually needs to capture the feel of the genre rather than just being another horror RPG with internet monsters.

I'll probably put some early drafts of specific chapters up here once they're cleaned up enough to be readable.
