Character March 2025: These Bloody Cells

This system technically features a character, so why not?

My ratings will be done on four scales, each ranging from 1 to 5:

• RPG: How much does this feel like an RPG to me, as opposed to a board game?
• Soup Stone: How little content does the game expect you to add? For this scale, 0 is a complete Soup Stone since I'd like to sum the scores to see the game's total score.
• Would I Play: If I were given a chance to, would I play this game?
• Would I Write: If I were inspired enough and had time/energy for it, would I get back to working on this game?

These Bloody Cells

Jacque "Sixer" Anderson is a vampire who has been imprisoned for over fifty years. He used to be a crime lord thanks to his charm, but nowadays, the criminal underworld has forgotten him, only considering him an urban myth, a rumor. He's determined to escape now, with some help from the other vampire buddies he made in the prison.

Bite is one of his powers, but another one is Charm and Sneak. His wardens are aware of these, but he's causing them a lot of trouble with these, regardless. His starting Blood pool is 11, though he only contributed 2 points to the Plan pool.

Ratings

4/5 RPG. I think this one could be fun, and it doesn't follow a strict board game structure.

4/5 Soup Stone. I'd say the game gives plenty of inspiration. It's far from perfect, but it's better at this than most of my games.

2/5 Would I Play. Sounds kind of fun in retrospect. I'm not absolutely keen on it, but maybe one day I could give it a go.

2/5 Would I Write. If I have good ideas for it, I could see myself do it.
