Houses of the Blooded is a roleplaying game designed by John Wick scheduled for release July 2008 http wickedthought.livejournal.com tag houses of the blooded . Its author has described it http wickedthought.livejournal.com tag houses of the blooded as the anti Dungeons and Dragons roleplaying game, emphasising elements of the fantasy genre that D&D overlooks. Taking a more swords and sorcery approach rather than generic fantasy , the game focuses on romance, intrigue, courtly dangers, and domain management. Overview Players tell the story of the tragic and doomed race of Shanri called the ven Houses of the Blooded ven . Both Shanri and the ven previously appeared in Wick s game Enemy Gods . The ven appear much like humans, but are stronger, faster, and more beautiful. The ven are also emotional powerhouses, emphasising all emotions with capital letters Love, Hate, Fear, etc. . The ven were created by a mysterious race they call the sorcerer kings. The ven speak of this race with absolute fear, terrified their masters may return one day to enslave them once again. Ven culture is a complicated system of extremes. Love and Revenge are the same word in the ven language, both different sides of obsession. The law is a labyrinth of exceptions, allowing the ven to all but ignore their own laws except when it suits them to obey. Rather than playing the D&D clich of ageless nomadic orphans wandering the countryside looking to sell their swords to the highest bidder, players in Houses of the Blooded take the roles of nobles responsible for great domains. As they struggle to maintain their own standing, they must solve the troubles that arise in their lands while plotting to expand ... by Jared Sorensen and the FATE 28role playing game system 29 FATE System by Evil Hat Productions .
