This is a love letter to one of my favorite games of all time - Bloodborne. Much like that game the setting of Vigilant is a Gothic Victorian world of monsters and churches and eldritch secrets. Of Blood and Beasts and Hunters. Of Dreams and Nightmares. To sustain that narrative I am using the Caltrop Core system with elements from the Powered By the Apocalypse family of rpgs.

Note that this is the Early Access of Vigilant. What is here will be refined and new options added.

  • More Origins
  • More Ordos from the Sanctus Ferrum (Church Knights in the vein of Ludwig) to the spark hunters of the Fulgur Venatores to the Pyromancers of the Ordos Lucerna - and more!
  • A fully customizable Gear system
  • Not 1 but 3 different kinds of magic
  • A setting customizable by the players by using Insight to open up new Districts, Tombs of the Gods, and more
  • A system that responds to the growth of the PCs in easy to apply ways for the GM
  • More enemies
  • Plus at least one complete setting for you to jump into

So if you like my work think about donating because that will enable me to commission art, pay an actual graphic artist, hire an editor, and present something that will look good and play well.

This is an awesome game! I'm excited to see what the future features will be like if this is still being worked on.

First off - thank you! Secondly - it got put on the backburner due to long illness but it is going to be my number one project after I finish the second edition of Syndrome.

Oh dear, I'm terribly sorry to hear that! I hope your doing well despite that.

Your other games seem pretty great too, so I'll be sure to check those out sometime! Thank you for your reply!

I'm doing better. Still got a ways to go on that end. (Thanks, Long Covid!) But if you ever have any questions, feel free to ask!

How many players is this game?

As a full rpg it supports 2+ players. Average game time will probably be 3 hours for as many sessions as it takes finish out the Hunt.
