The Vampire - Alone in the Darkness

Embrace your dark side!

Rise from the dead and join the ranks of the most feared creatures of the night.

About the book:

The Vampire – Alone in the Darkness is a Role-Playing Game that lets players act as a powerful Vampire, a former human who died and got resurrected by a demon acting like an unholy puppeteer. In this existence afterlife, the Vampire fights to keep the balance between their human impulses and the demonic presence’s bloodlust. 

This isn't your dad's Vampire! Different from other popular settings, Vampires weren’t interested in manipulating the great wheel of humanity. They stayed in the shadows and usually lived in isolation, not only from other humans but from other Vampires. However, since the popularity of their myth, from the writings of Bram Stoker to the adolescent fantasies of Twilight, they are at constant peril from researchers, hunters, and other supernatural entities. Some started to look for strength in numbers, joining the so-called Legions, communities of Vampires that are rapidly becoming more and more political… and dangerous.

3 ways to play:

• Solo: the player creates one or more vampires and interacts with them in the created scenario, rolling dice (d10) against tables with pre-defined actions, slowly unfolding the story.
• Co-Op Group: it works the same way as a Solo Game, without needing a narrator/DM role.
• Guided play (with a Narrator): like a traditional tabletop RPG, with a player in charge to select what happens, either by using the material in this book or by inserting new events.

The game mixes traditional RPG elements with a tabletop tile system. Each tile represents a setting like an urban area, industrial zone, or city outskirts, each one with multiple events that can be interweaved and branched out to generate millions of ramifications. The book is a great toolbox that can make your story unfold in multiple, dynamic ways before you with the help of the following features and mechanics:
