This game is so much fun! It's easy to grasp but still involving, and it strikes a great balance between game rules and player creativity to make sure replays are just as fun. I don't know why mine has turned into a radio serial-esque series of adventures about the same character but I'm having a great time
Bloodless is quick and easy to get into, quick to wrap up, but sticks with you for a long time. The concept works well, the prompts keep you on your toes, and you always feel like you're racing against the clock as the hours tick down until your supposed safety. Definitely recommend, it was a wonderful solo ttrpg that I would love to see more people play!
I had an absolute blast playing Bloodless! The rules were easy to learn and the gameplay was incredibly immersive.
The prompts and dice rolls added a thrilling element to the game, and I felt like every choice I made had real consequences. It was intense watching the hours tick by as my character struggled to survive the night.
I also thought the use of Blood as a currency was a really interesting game mechanic. It added an extra layer of strategy to the game and made it even more engaging.
Overall, I would highly recommend Bloodless to anyone looking for a fun and immersive solo RPG experience. It's perfect for beginners and full of fascinating prompts to immerse yourself into the night.
I have played a lot of solo journalling games, which makes me confident to say that this is a perfect example of the medium and inspired use of the Caltrop Core system by @titanrpg!
Ennio takes the classic vampire tropes and inspiration from "the Vampire the Masquerade actual play “LA by Night” and the What We Do in the Shadows series", and uses them to great effect, especially with the clever framing of the badly wounded and exhausted vampire fighting the coming dawn.
"Chances are good that you won’t see another twilight"
The Caltrop Core system framework with the assigned stats allows for variously-focussed characters with the use of Blood Tokens and how they are gained and lost in Absolute Successes/ Failures lends to incredible highs and lows that made for a genuinely exhilarating experience and exciting narrative.
The prompts themselves are the most paired-back element of the game, which I could see being a little tough for some, but this is beautifully balanced by the scenario, stats and character prompts, and richly flavoured tables for rolling up who your vampire is, why they are in their predicament they're in, and what else you have at risk.
This game reignited my love for solo journaling game and made me start working on my own Caltrop Core game!
A wonderful short solo journaling game about a vampire in a bad way trying to make it to safety with a ticking clock if 6 hours til sunrise. A fantastic solo experience using the #CaltropCore system to great effect (https://caltropcore.com/)
