It's a mean old world out there. The sorcerer upstairs conjures too loud; the guy down the hall drinks blood from a six-pack; that stiff you left in the alley is up and walking around. If you're lucky, the Guild will pay you for tonight's work; if you're not, you're going home in a box. A small box.

The World of Bloodshadows is a roleplaying game that combines pulp adventures with dark fantasy. It takes fantasy out of the moldy old castles and ancient tombs, and brings it back to the black magic alleys and cheap gin joints where it belongs. Tough detectives in weathered trenchcoats swap biting comments with vampires in evening gowns. Humans walk down dark streets side by side with demonic breeds and long-dead ghouls. And death -- or Undeath -- waits around every corner. Your weapons are magic and technology, but neither replaces a good head on your shoulders. And you'll have to work to keep it there. You're not just hunting monsters anymore... you're playing them.

Part Horror. Part Fantasy. Part Noir. Part Pulp.

The World of Bloodshadows is available as a game setting for the MasterBook™ rules. Also available as a worldbook for the OpenD6 system.
