Deeper Roots

Deeper Roots


You are a VAMPIRE.

Harry Clarke



You have THREE ASPECTS:

BLOOD- Power, Authority, Intensity

SUGAR- Humanity, Vulnerability, Sincerity

MAGIC- Monstrousness, Mystery, Grace


Roll d6+1 for each of them.

2 is just below average for a mortal. 7 is as to vampires as vampires are to mortals.


When someone challenges one of your aspects, roll a d6.

If you roll under the aspect's value, you defend yourself from the world's intrusion, but exhaust yourself, and that aspect's value decreases by 1.

If you roll over the aspect's value, you accede to it and allow it to change you, willingly or not, and the aspect's value increases by 1.



YOU HAVE ____:

1. Old Money- More than could be counted or spent. If a price can be paid in gold, you can pay it.

2. Devoted Servants- Ragged edges, desperate longing. If a price can be paid in blood, you can pay it.

3. A Crumbling Manse- While you are there, you are safe from that which does not seek to find you.

4. Ancient Wisdom- Your memory is an oubliette where history rots and dies. You know 1d6 DARK SECRETS, but dredging them back up will challenge your MAGIC.

5. Ungrateful Children- 1d6 HORRIBLE BRATS. You may command them, and they will do something almost like what you ask, but they will challenge the right of your BLOOD.

6. Irons in the Fire- You have 1d6 ENTANGLEMENTS with people in valuable positions. Reveal them at your leisure. Pulling them in the right direction challenges your SUGAR.



YOU WANT ____:

1. True Love

2. Honorable Death

3. Reprieve from Boredom

4. Assurance of Safety

5. Purposeful Existence

6. Deliverance from Evil



Perhaps you have a PLAN to get what you WANT.

But what you WANT is not something you can get.

So you will have to learn to do something other than WANT and HAVE.

Eventually. There's plenty of vampire shenanigans to get to before that.

  1. I love the HORRIBLE BRATS. Usefulness debatable, vexation guaranteed.
