"I Awoke in Darkness, Starving..."

You are the first vampire—a cursed being wandering through centuries, torn between insatiable hunger and the remnants of your lost humanity. The First Vampire is a solo journaling tabletop role-playing experience where you chronicle your descent into the night. Through journal entries and simple dice rolls, you shape your own dark legacy in a world filled with hunters, forbidden love, and rival creatures lurking in the shadows.

What is This Game?

The First Vampire  is a minimalist, solo journaling RPG that focuses on personal horror and narrative freedom. With just a single six-sided die, your imagination, and a journal, you will:

• Embrace a Vampire’s Power: Use supernatural abilities like mind control, invisibility, and immense strength—but every power drains your precious blood.
• Face Eternal Torments: Choose the emotional and physical burdens of vampirism: a never-ending thirst, the fear of sunlight, and the weight of endless guilt.
• Roll for Fate: Let the roll of a d6 decide your encounters, successes, and failures. Each choice leads to consequences that shape your story.
• Discover Forgotten Secrets: Meet ancient rivals, mortal allies, and supernatural threats as you explore gothic cities, cursed forests, and hidden catacombs.

Key Features:

• Immersive Storytelling: Record your character’s thoughts, victories, and defeats in a personal journal, allowing each session to be unique.
• Minimalist Rules, Maximum Freedom: All you need is one d6 and a desire to uncover the secrets of the night. Quick to learn, but deep in narrative potential.
• Replayable & Dynamic: Every playthrough is a new story, shaped by random rolls, your choices, and evolving situations. Will you rule the night or succumb to your monstrous nature?
• A Personal Horror Journey: Play as the first vampire, struggling with inner torment and external threats, from determined hunters to rival creatures of the dark.

How to Play:

1. Create Your Vampire: Define your desires, fears, and dark goals.
2. Roll a d6: Encounter situations and challenges based on the dice, from brutal confrontations to feeding on mortals.
3. Journal Your Story: As you wander through shadowy locations and confront rivals, record your actions, decisions, and reflections. Your journal becomes your vampire's legacy.
