By Nathan Hook

A jeepform-style adaptation of Dracula, going back to the vampire roots of role-playing with a modern approach. As well the themes from the novel the scenario explores the theme of Agency, in the sense of free will. It begins strongly bound to the narrative but gradually opens out as the players and characters gain more agency contesting their will against Dracula. The scenario uses meta-techniques, including a wide variety of inner monologues.

How long: 4 hours
Players: between 2-8, recommended for 4-6.
Game master: 1
Genre: Gothic Vampire meets Jeepfrom
What kind of players: Players who fondly remember the classic days of the vampire genre before the age of Lestat and Edward, and are interested in the gothic atmosphere and themes. Players who enjoy jeepform-style games.
What Kind of GM: Knowing the novel (or at least having watching a film) is a definite bonus, but a story synopsis is included so this isn’t required. A GM who is confident in meta-techniques and able to improvise as the game progresses.
