Dark Citadel Roleplaying Game 2nd Edition
A downloadable game
A dark fantasy roleplaying game that resembles a certain vampire slaying video game. The rules are still somewhat unfinished and I would like people to playtest what is here so I can improve it.
"It is 1813 and the world is cursed. The sun never rises yet no plants die and the world does not grow colder. The moon stands still in the sky, bloated and blood red. It is an eternal sentinel watching over a world where the dead rise and horrific monsters roam the earth. The supernatural has become real, and even some ordinary mortals have been developing strange and terrifying powers. You are one of these people. Something in your blood or your soul has resonated with the forbidden essence now flowing through the world. Will you fight the darkness or succumb? Only time will tell."
The system is d6 dice pool based. Characters have a variety of magical abilities to choose from. There are spells and what's known as techniques (instinctive supernatural abilities). The game includes rules for monster creation so GM's will be able to make their own original encounters fairly easily. The premade monsters and much of the game's setting is based on Romanian mythology, tweaked to make it more in line with Vania/Soulsborn aesthetics.
