Krevborna: A Gothic Blood Opera

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Selected Option:

The blood moon rises above the haunted lands of Krevborna! Once a country of picturesque villages, deep forests, and sublime mountain ranges, Krevborna is now a land of Gothic ruins preyed upon by fiends, ravening beasts, and the unquiet dead. Shadows triumphantly lengthen across Krevborna; the great powers of darkness work to usher in the dread dominion of an everlasting empire of night.

Krevborna: A Gothic Blood Opera is a system-neutral campaign setting for Gothic Fantasy adventures inspired by BloodborneCastlevania, and Penny Dreadful. The book includes:

  • Art by Becky Munich and Michael Gibbons. Setting map by Michael Gibbons.
  • Details on nine locations in the setting: the corrupt city of Chancel, the Lovecraftian town of Creedhall, the witch-town of Hemlock, vampire haunted Lamashtu, the seaside horrors of Piskaro, the underworld of the Grail Tombs, the foreboding Nachtmahr Mountains, the eerie Silent Forest, and the forbidden town of Veil.
  • Information on the people of Krevborna and their folklore.
  • Ideas for genre-appropriate characters and the dark secrets that damn them.
  • Thirty-four otherworldly entities to use as patrons for the faithful and the pact-bound.
  • Eight factions and twelve NPCs to involve your players in intrigue.
  • Advice and tools for running a fantasy RPG influenced by Gothic literature.
  • Tools for use in game, such as copious adventure seeds, a bestiary of foes, random tables, and a comprehensive adventure generator that gives you the basis of a scenario with little prep.
  • A full index and a separate index of the book's random tables.
  • A design that prioritizes ease of use and speed of play. All "lore" entries are easy to scan, and make use of bullet points to draw your attention to the important bits so you can get on with your game.

This is one of my favorite settings bar none. It's all the tropes of Hammer Horror Films placed within a setting that drips inspiration. The book is well laid out and imminently useful. If you love gothic horror, then you need this book.

I decided to fix the three typos that I knew were in the book. The POD will be back in a couple weeks, as soon as I check the new proof copy!

Hey Jack, just want to say that I absolutely love this. I love the focus of this book, and how it has only what is important for running the game while leaving the detail to the DM.

This is great stuff, and I can't wait to run a game in it.

Hello Jack, I love your blog (http://talesofthegrotesqueanddungeonesque.blogspot.com.br/) I guess it is your right? I wish to consult with you to coach me in my Ravenloft campaing as a DM. Ravenloft is obsession of mine and I want to provide a epic experience for my player. I could pay you a fee and you could give me some ideais through email. Are you interested? How can I contact you? Thanks and congrats for the awesome work!

looks interesting but a question on "classes" ..do you offer any specific classes in this for the setting or do you leave it open-ended for the GM and what system he is using to run it?

I leave it open ended. I do offer some advice on how I run games in the setting when it comes to player options. I'm of the mind that with a little collaboration between the GM and player you can make most class options work for the genre, but that's totally up to each group and their take on the setting.

hello i have a question about your book and i m currious about, when you "system-neutral" i get it s of course to adapt it to any system, but do you use something score npc and monster, like descriptive traits or a score (ie : a number out of ten) ?

Hello Jean-Frederic!

All of the monsters and NPCs are described so that you get an idea of their capabilities, but ultimately their power level is up to the GM's discretion.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
