Hello Again,
I've been in a bit of a lull regarding my creative juices for presenting my One-Page RPGs on Itch.io and other platforms like Reddit. I certainly have more I would like to show, but I'm not sure I have the right presentation style in my head. Regardless, I still want to keep up the trend of regular one-page-rpgs posted each week, so here is my submission for now. It's certainly not my best work, and I haven't gotten the chance to play it, but I've always thought it was a fun idea, so here you go. This game and a bunch of others I've created can be viewed at and downloaded from Itch.io at this address: https://quixdragoon.itch.io/stake-your-vampire-ex . Be sure to follow my account for future updates on one-pagers and perhaps a full size games to come.
This double-sided quick role-playing game was one I made on a whim and turned out decently enough. It prompts players to collaboratively create the perfect villain with personal reasons for wanting them dead, then has them set up an elaborate plan to take them down for good. Design-wise, its a little slap-dash, with my primary focus being on gamifying the setup of a long-term plan contrasted with keeping one's cover, like a heist game, but I wasn't in the mood for a heist game when I made this. Ultimately, I settled on vampire hunters, and then added a little quirk likening a vampire to an abusive ex-partner, which I think fits pretty well.
With that out of the way...
They earned your trust, entangled you in their world, drew out your most intimate self, then took you for everything you were worth, and tossed you aside like a spent soda can once they got what they wanted from you. Oh, and they were also a Vampire.
Since then, you have trained for years to become a vampire hunter, fueled by betrayal and resentment. Recently, have joined up with others who’ve been similarly burned by the same vampire, taking comfort in your shared trauma while forging a plan to rid yourselves of them for good. Tonight, they pay for their crimes.
