Bloodwine Wiki

Welcome to the Bloodwine Wiki! All the free-to-use rules are here for your use and prerusal.

What Is Bloodwine?
Bloodwine is a d6-based tabletop RPG that takes a different angle towards fantasy. In an abandoned universe, long after the apocalypse, civilization has thrived in spite of damnation. Adventurers roam the land - an entire industry and trade. There are still many evils from the apocalypse, dangers in the wilds, and evils among our walls in the form of people - and adventurers go town to town, taking care of those problems where they arise.

Is this game finished?
This game has passed through several playtest editions and modifications to reach its current forms. This wiki contains the most recent complete ruleset. While this wiki's rules are not "finished Bloodwine", they are a full set of rules allowing a group to run their own Bloodwine games. This ruleset plays very similarly to the final ruleset.

The final ruleset is currently in development. Very few functional changes are expected. During this time, the plan is to first complete an edited, finalized version of the rulebook text. Next, the text will be formatted into various accessible versions, and flavour text will be added. Lastly, art will be added. Please visit our Discord to follow these updates - we are currently editing the text of the player-only rules.

How do I play?
There are two different categories of rules. The core rules (the setting, player rules, universal rules, and skills) should be read in full. The reference rules (narrator rules, monster rules, equipment, benefits and drawbacks, species, and peoples) don't need to be read in full - just checked when relevant.

Dice (polyhedrals or six-sided), a combat grid, and a deck of cards are recommended for play.

And, of course, you'll want a character sheet.

Where do I start?
The universal rules are a great place to figure out the game works, while the player rules will tell you the basics about building a character. We also have a community on discord.

Where can I watch?
We stream (schedule TBD) on Twitch and archive our games on [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClee4JkZAr7advXZ0n2qXFQ. Youtube]. We're not too far in - to catch up quickly, there's a summary of recent events.
