sagitta luminis

trying to get into the habit of posting regular tabletop game summaries here! my regular game group recently ended the second arc of our chuubo's game, which feels like it's at a good stopping point, so we're trying out some new stuff while we gear up for whatever long thing we're playing next!

this time we're playing Blood Apart, a game I wrote in 2020 while fiddling around with the Belonging Outside Belonging style of GMless game writing that comes from Dream Askew/Dream Apart. it is, in many ways, a love letter to my background as a vampire larper. i'd never actually gotten to playtest it, so we're finding out how it actually works in practice.

the characters are:

• Percival "Percy" Baselard, the Sorcerer: former occult society member who ate his sire's soul and fled to Venice, which is ruled by a vampire who hated that guy. Hot gay party boy with blue hair. Played by Jesse.
• Elegia d'Este, the Noble: Notable singer from French Algeria whose sire decided to scoop her out of a place she felt was "beneath" her in a white lesbian's burden sort of way. Expected to be an extension of her sire in a way that is surely not going to go poorly for anyone when she fucking snaps. Played by Degen.
• Dorothea Merlo, the Silent: The youngest of the group; she likes things tidy and shares an apartment with her dead twin sister's ex-boyfriend and accidental killer. Soft-voiced with a soft smile and soft footsteps such that you never hear her coming, which is good considering that she's a serial killer. Likes things tidy. Played by me.
• Leander "Leah" Lupo, the Wildkin: The oldest of the group; good at turning into a wolf and killing people really messily. He acts as a kind of late-night delivery guy for people who need absolutely no questions asked. Played by Geo.
