Something very bad happened to you a very long time ago: you died and it fucking hurt.
Your blood is cold, but your skin is colder. Your heart might as well be made of stone. Your memory is like treacle. Sometimes, you even remember to blink.
Being dead sucks, but I know what will make you feel better. Wet your mouth a little, have a drink! It’s time for a party. Let’s…
Paint The Town Red
Paint The Town Red is a sad vampire RPG from SoulMuppet Publishing, created by Zachary Cox (Orbital Blues, Inevitable, Best Left Buried) and with art direction from Johan Nohr (MÖRK BORG, CY_BORG, Into The Odd). This is a game about depression, partying and falling in love, and explores themes of trauma, vice and loneliness.
Your characters are vampires, afflicted with the Curse of Undeath. Being dead feels horrid, and the goal of every character is to chase the sensation of feeling alive and escape the rot they feel in their soul.
Paint The Town Red is set in the greatest cities throughout history, where the Dead mass together to form an active nightlife. Sessions of Paint The Town Red feel more like boozy nights out on the town than heroic quests, complete with pre-drinks, loud music, smoking areas and hangovers.
This 244 page core book contains the full rules and character creation process for Paint The Town Red, as well as rules for magic, non-vampire characters and creating your own factions and cities. It also contains 3 new adventures: Party of the Century (Rome 82AD), Hair of the Dog (Aachen 801AD) and Party Crashing in Splendid Ghazni (Ghazni 1016AD), which combine into an overarching campaign.
