Vampire: The Masquerade – Bound by Blood Is Coming To D&D Beyond

This project was lovingly created by Ghostfire Gaming, the talented group of designers and D&D experts behind the excellent Grim Hollow. What they've built is a full vampire class for fifth edition Vampire, with Blood Points, Disciplines, the Beast, along with a Dark Ages adventure, and it's a great way to bring a piece of the World of Darkness to a table that already lives in 5E D&D. 

We're very excited about sharing the love for Vampires with even more people, but want to clarify something since we've seen some wires getting crossed: Bound by Blood is not the primary project we're announcing at Gen Con. They're two different projects. Bound by Blood is a 5E product, made by the awesome Ghostfire team, for people who want to visit our world using rules their tables are familiar with already. The Gen Con Vampire announcement is something we're building in-house at White Wolf, with our team, our system, and our long-term vision. 

Right now, that in-house project is where the devs' hours are going, specifically into preparing for the playtesting at Gen Con. This playtesting is the beginning of us working on this project together, players/storytellers/devs alike, and Gen Con is where we will begin to color in more of the mysterious unannounced project picture: a full panel covering it and our prospective roadmap, hands-on playtesting folks can sit down for (featuring members of the White Wolf team and community as Storytellers), and a live Actual Play(test) run by a face you'll definitely recognize.
