 Introduction
Scenario Overview
The dead have risen from their graves, and the zombie
apocalypse is now at hand. Your hometown has been
overrun, and who knows how the rest of the world is
faring? But here’s the twist: you aren’t some weak and
puny mortal; you’re a vampire, a terrifying creature of
the night. You were resting when the outbreak started,
but now you’re awake, and your food source is being
wiped out—so what are you going to do about it?
Define your Mythology
Some zombies are slow and shambling, others are fast
runners. Some zombies can be killed with a headshot,
others need to be totally dismembered. Some zombie
are animated corpses, while others are weird mutants,
or even living humans who have been infected with a
horrible virus.
Likewise, some vampires are depicted as monstrous
savages, others as cool and suave. Some are destroyed
by sunlight, others are only weakened during the day.
Some can easily pass for human, others are obviously
undead. Some use magical powers, while others have
more scientifically plausible capabilities.
The group should discuss and define the mythology
and physiology of the undead before the game begins.
The only important thing is that vampires cannot turn
into zombies (or vice versa), nor can the vampires feed
upon zombies—although the zombies may still try to
eat the vampires, if given the opportunity!
If you still find yourselves struggling for ideas, you
can always combine your favorite vampire movie with
your favorite zombie flick.
Define your Roles
There are two roles in this game. Each player controls
a character, while an oracle directs the story by rolling
on the oracle tables and interpreting the results.
In a traditional game, a dedicated Game Master acts
as the oracle. But it is also possible to play without a
Game Master if you prefer, with some (or all) of the
players sharing oracle duties, interpreting results for
each other’s characters. This turns the game into more
of a collaborative storytelling experience, and it only
works if everyone is fully on board; a disruptive oracle
can easily derail the entire story.
It is also possible to play a solo (or “solitaire”) game,
with one person acting as both player and oracle.
3
Set the Stage
Here are some questions your group should consider
and discuss before starting the game:
• Where does the game take place? Within a real city?
A fictional one? Perhaps even your own hometown?
• When does the game take place? The assumption is
modern day, but you can always pick a different time
period if you prefer!
• What might have caused the zombie apocalypse?
You don’t need a definitive answer, but consider the
possible causes and most likely scenarios, so the oracle
can drop clues throughout the story.
Introduce the Cast
Before starting the game, the players should consider
and discuss the following questions:
• How long ago was your character turned into a
vampire? Years? Decades? Centuries?
• What did you do before you became a vampire?
What have you done since? How did you hide yourself
among the humans? Did you work a regular job to
help you blend in with society?
• What do you look like? Can you pass for human?
Do you wear modern clothing?
• What is your attitude towards humans? Can you
relate to them? Do you like them? Or are they nothing
more than cattle to you?
• Do you normally have thralls (human servants) to
protect you during the day? They’ll have mysteriously
vanished before the game begins, but their unknown
fate can serve as a useful plot device.
Set your Goals
The group should jointly decide on both a short term
goal (an objective for the first session) and a long term
goal (an overall objective for the campaign, which can
take several sessions to resolve).
Example short term goals: Find a safe house to rest
during the day. Discover a source of fresh blood. Find
out what happened to your thralls.
Example long term goals: Discover the cause of the
zombie outbreak. Discover a vaccine or cure for the
infection. Carve out a power base in this new world.
Each player can also have their own private agenda
of course, but the group goals tie the characters to one
another, giving the vampires a common cause, and a
reason to work together.
 Tools of the Trade
Blood and Bile uses red, green and blue d6s (six-sided
dice). You will probably need about three dice of each
color for each player (unless you already know which
traits they intend to choose), and one die of each color
for rolling on the oracle tables. In addition, you’ll need
at least half a dozen white d6s to represent humans
recruited or captured during the course of the game.
You don’t need to write anything during character
creation or while playing, but if you want to run a full
campaign you will need to track the assets earned each
session. The easiest solution is to write each asset on
its own index card, and discard them when used.
Interpret and Narrate
Dice rolls should be used to support the narrative, not
to replace it. It is important that players describe what
their characters are doing, interpreting the dice rolls
and narrating their actions, as if telling a story.
This holds doubly true for the oracle. The various
random tables are designed to provide the oracle with
a powerful improvisation prompt, but the results still
need to be interpreted in a way that makes sense, and
narrated within the context of the current situation.
4
Oracle Guidelines
There is no scripted adventure in Blood & Bile, instead
the oracle rolls some dice to determine how the story
begins, and then the players start asking questions as
the scene unfolds. The oracle rolls on the appropriate
tables to provide answers, interpreting and narrating
the results, turning them into an improvised story.
Here are some quick tips for creating an interesting
story using the oracle tables:
• You should flesh out the opening scene using your
imagination, but always encourage each of the players
to add something to the scene as well, and don’t forget
to factor in their short and long term goals. It tends to
be much easier to use the oracle tables once a handful
of the story elements have been clearly defined, and a
nice detailed opening scene is one of the best ways to
really get the ball rolling.
• The tables provide prompts and inspiration, but
the story is shaped by the imagination of the oracle,
and directed by the attitude they bring to the table. If
several people intend to share the oracle duties, it is
essential they all have the same general vision of how
the story should unfold.
• Go with your initial instincts, and don’t overthink
your answers or worry too much about exactly how to
interpret the tables. It doesn’t matter if your answer
isn’t a perfect match for the result, as long as it fits the
scene and overall story; the oracle tables are a tool, not
a straitjacket.
• Drive the story forward whenever possible. If the
scene grinds to a halt, try triggering a random event,
or encourage the players to push forward to the next
scene. If all else fails, have a horde of zombies turn up,
and give the players a challenge they must resolve in
order to escape to the next scene.
• Don’t keep asking questions over and over, try to
run with what you’ve already got, and only ask more
questions when you get stumped, or need some fresh
inspiration. If you already have a good idea for how to
answer a particular question, it’s usually better to just
make up the answer instead of rolling.
• Always try to limit your questions to things the
characters could know or have observed, particularly
if there isn’t a dedicated Game Master. For example,
avoid asking if there are zombies in the house (unless
the characters have some means to detect them), and
instead ask if there are any possible signs of zombies
having entered the house, such as smashed windows,
sounds from within, etc.
• If you are playing a solo/solitaire game, you might
find it helpful if you speak the story out loud, or even
write down the adventure as it unfolds. Otherwise it
can sometimes feel as if you’re just daydreaming with
dice, rather than playing a game.
 Characters
Traits
Each player selects five colored dice to represent their
traits. Blue represent brawn (strength and endurance),
green represent guile (cunning, will and alertness), and
red represent reflexes (agility, dexterity and stealth). A
vampire with no dice of a particular color has typical
mortal-level competence in that trait, but they can still
use their potent blood to exert supernatural effort. A
vampire with one die of a specific color is roughly on-
par with an exceptional mortal in their chosen field,
while two or more dice indicate superhuman prowess.
Trait dice also indicate how much blood a vampire
has available; they automatically regenerate any injury
they suffer, but this rapidly burns through their blood
reserves, which is represented by discarding trait dice.
Vampires must also discard one die each time they go
a full night without feeding.
If they run out of dice, the vampire collapses into a
death-like torpor until they are fed or killed.
Examples: Joe wants his character to be incredibly
strong and tough, but also fairly agile, so he picks four
blue (brawn) dice and one red (reflexes) die. Bob wants
a more balanced character, and picks two green (guile)
dice, one blue (brawn) die, and two red (reflexes) dice.
Dark Gift
Vampires tend to be stronger, tougher and faster than
mortals, with sharper senses and an alluring presence.
However each character also has one special talent, an
ability that makes them stand out among their kind.
Each player chooses one Dark Gift, which must be
appropriate to the mythology, and which describes an
unusual power or supernatural aptitude.
Vampires may use their Dark Gift to roll three dice
when they exert “supernatural effort” for a trait check.
In addition, they can invoke their Dark Gift once per
session to perform an incredible feat—the feat should
always move the story forward in an interesting way,
allowing the vampire to automatically overcome one
particular challenge without needing to roll.
Whenever a player uses their Dark Gift, they should
narrate how it appears to everyone else—do they seem
to fade into the mist as they move? Do their eyes glow
red in the darkness? Do they seem to vanish from the
spot as they move with blinding speed?
Examples: Heightened senses, beguiling eyes, beast
mastery, shapeshifting, lightning speed, telepathy, veil
of mist, necromancy, shadow walking.
5
Curse
Each player also chooses a Curse, which the oracle can
invoke once per session to either add a complication
to the scene, increase the difficulty of a trait check by
+2, or increase the difficulty of all that character’s trait
checks this scene by +1 (maximum difficulty is 6).
At the end of the scene, any player whose Curse was
invoked can describe a flashback from their past, and
how it relates to the current situation. They may now
invoke their Dark Gift a second time this session.
Examples: Deathly visage, uncontrollable rage, fear
of crosses, unquenchable thirst, weakened in sunlight,
no reflection, guilt for past sins, feared by animals.
Assets
At the end of a session, each player can describe a new
“asset” they gained during the last adventure, such as a
useful item they discovered, a skill they absorbed from
a hapless mortal they’ve fed upon, a new supernatural
trick they’ve developed, etc. Players may take the same
asset multiple times, but they should be encouraged to
come up with more diverse ideas if possible.
Examples: Katana, ace driver, sharp claws, kung fu,
glowing eyes, kevlar vest, wolf familiar, acute senses.
Invoking Assets
Each asset can be invoked once per session to grant a
+1 bonus to an appropriate trait check. This should be
declared after rolling, and the +1 bonus only applies to
one die (use the modified die result to determine if the
roll counts as a double or triple). The player describes
how the asset helps them in this particular situation,
and only one asset can be invoked per trait check.
Mortals
The vampires may capture or rescue survivors during
play. Each group of survivors is represented as a white
die, which can be used to make its own trait checks.
In order to feed, a vampire declares how many trait
dice they wish to recover; that number is the difficulty
for the mortals’ trait check to survive. Roll their white
die: if it exceeds the difficulty they are fine, if it equals
the difficulty they are alive but unconscious, and if it
is below the difficulty, then they are dead.
When vampires feed from a mortal, they experience
glimpses of their victim’s past. The player should take
this opportunity to describe the memory or event.
Example Vampires
Lucian
An Italian immigrant, Lucian (born Luciano Capello)
was a member of the Five Points Gang in Manhattan.
After being mortally wounded during a gang fight in
1903, he was discovered and turned by an ambitious
vampire, who saw his potential. His new master soon
moved on again, however, leaving Lucian to find his
own way in the world.
After gaining his freedom, Lucian decided to go into
business for himself as a professional hitman, earning
a fearsome reputation in the underworld.
Lucian has the Dark Gift of beast mastery, allowing
him to summon animals to his side and bend them to
his will. However he’s also been cursed with a violent
temper, and is prone to fits of uncontrollable rage.

Rebecca
Born in Salem Village in 1671, Rebecca possessed the
“second sight,” giving her an uncanny awareness of the
world and the people around her.
She fled to Boston in 1692, narrowly avoiding the
Salem witch trials, and it was there she discovered the
truth about vampires. Cunning and ruthless even as a
mortal, Rebecca soon persuaded a young vampire to
turn her, then trapped and drained her hapless sire the
next evening. She consumed his memories along with
his blood, granting her the knowledge to survive.
Rebecca has the Dark Gift of telepathy. This allows
her to read, manipulate and even control the minds of
others. But she is also cursed with insatiable hunger,
and easily distracted by the sight or smell of blood.

Olaf
Although he doesn’t speak much about his past, Olaf
does occasionally talk about his final day as a mortal,
when he single-handedly held off an entire army for
over an hour at the Battle of Stamford Bridge, in 1066.
After he was turned into a vampire he underwent an
awful transformation, his body becoming twisted and
deformed. No longer able to pass as a human, he was
forced to skulk in the shadows.
Olaf has the Dark Gift of shadow walking, allowing
him to fade away into the shadows, and even teleport
himself from one shadow to another. However he has
also been cursed with a hideous visage, his horrifying
features immediately revealing his inhuman nature to
any who gaze upon him.

 Game Rules
Trait Checks
Trait checks involve a trait (brawn, guile or reflexes),
and a difficulty the player must equal or exceed with
their roll. The difficulty is 4 for most tasks, 3 for easy
tasks, and 5 for hard tasks. For very easy tasks reduce
the difficulty to 2; for very hard tasks, increase it to 6.
The player rolls one or two of their trait dice (of any
color), using the highest to determine success. Rolling
two dice represents “supernatural effort,” allowing the
vampire to perform feats beyond those of any normal
human (some checks might even require supernatural
effort). However if the player rolls a double, they must
discard one of their dice, due to exertion.
If a character has a Dark Gift that suits a particular
situation, they have the option of rolling three dice for
“supernatural effort” instead of two, but this is highly
stressful; they lose one of the dice on a double, or two
on a triple. When using this option, the player should
always describe how their Dark Gift manifests.
If a die color matches the trait (e.g., rolling a red die
for a reflexes check), the player may reroll that die, but
must keep the new result. If multiple dice match the
trait, they can be rerolled one at a time, so as to reduce
the chance of rolling a double or triple.
In rare situations, two players may wish to oppose
each other. When this happens, both make their trait
checks, and the highest die roll wins. On a tie, use the
second die (if only one of the players has a second die,
they win). If it’s still a tie, use the third die, and if that
doesn’t break the tie, the outcome is a draw.
Example: Joe’s character wishes to sneak past some
zombies. The oracle declares it is a difficulty 5 reflexes
check, so Joe decides to use supernatural effort, rolling
his only red die along with a blue die. The result is C
and B, but Joe has the option of rerolling the red die;
he rerolls and gets E. Success! Later, Joe tries to open
a door with a brawn check, and once again opts to roll
two dice. He rolls F F—success, but it is also a double,
meaning that he must discard one die. Fortunately he
can reroll blue dice, so he rerolls a F, turning it into C.
He still succeeds, but no longer needs to discard a die.
The Price of Failure
Failing a trait check should always lead to some sort of
complication, otherwise there’s no point rolling in the
first place. For “dangerous” trait checks (like combat),
discard the lowest rolling die on a failure. Other tasks
might take too long, draw unwanted attention, trigger
a negative event, require a different solution, etc.
7
Extended Challenges
Combat, chases, and other complex challenges usually
require multiple successes to complete. Each round,
the player must make a trait check; if the required
number of successes has been achieved or exceeded by
the end of the round, then the challenge is complete,
otherwise the player must roll again next round.
If the player rolls and succeeds with multiple trait
dice, add each success to the total. If they fail one of
the trait checks, the overall challenge fails, or (in the
case of “dangerous” checks) the player discards a die.
Example: A gang of bikers ambush a vampire while
he’s walking through town. There are several bikers,
and they are armed with chains and knives, while the
vampire is alone and unarmed, so the oracle calls for a
dangerous difficulty 5 brawn check, and the challenge
requires 3 successes to overcome. The vampire uses
his Dark Gift to fade into the shadows, and rolls a 2, 5
and 6; he achieves 2 successes, and slaughters most of
the bikers in the first round. The next round he rolls 1,
2 and 3, resulting in failure; he discards the lowest die
(the 1), and describes how one of the bikers managed
to stab him in the back!
Random Challenges
As a rule of thumb, each scene usually requires at least
one trait check to resolve, although a complex scene
can certainly involve multiple challenges.
Sometimes the oracle may wish to leave the specific
mechanics of a challenge in the hands of fate. Roll 3d6
(one of each color), using either the highest, middle, or
lowest rolling die, depending on how tough the task is
expected to be. The color and value of the die indicate
the trait and difficulty of the challenge; on a tie, let the
player choose which die they use. Difficulty 1 requires
no trait check (the player just narrates their actions).
The trait should always be tied into the description
of the encounter. During a chase scene, for example, a
brawn check might represent climbing, swimming or
jumping over an obstacle, while a guile check might
represent spotting a threat or identifying a good route,
and a reflexes check might represent moving quickly
or evading an obstacle.
Example: Joe is trying to escape from a sniper, so
the oracle rolls D D C; a difficulty 4 reflexes or guile
check. The oracle explains that Joe can either try to
duck and weave across the street as a reflexes check,
or look for a route with better cover as a guile check.
 Story Craft
Opening Scene
The story begins with the vampires waking up from a
deep slumber (which might have lasted hours, days, or
even years) to discover the world has gone insane, and
zombies walk the streets. The oracle should roll for a
random event to determine what woke the characters,
and a random location where the event has occurred.
If the event references survivors, roll for those as well.
Example: The oracle rolls C E F for the opening
event (sniper/survivor), and then E A F for a location
(bridge/zombies). The event requires another roll for
survivors, which is C E E (senior citizen/leader). After
being awoken by gunfire, the vampires leave their lair,
located near a suspension bridge. They spot a group of
elderly people trapped in a bus, assailed by zombies on
all sides! However a lone sniper has climbed one of the
bridge towers, and is picking off the zombies.
Story Structure
The story can be broken down into a series of scenes,
each focusing on a certain time and place, and usually
requiring a challenge to resolve. The challenge doesn’t
need to be a trait check, it could just as easily be a pure
roleplaying scenario, but every scene should give the
players an opportunity to interact with the setting,
flesh out the story, and drive the plot forward.
Plot Seeds
Included below are several plot seeds, including a few
obvious tributes to famous zombie films, which can be
used for inspiration. Scatter them into the story if you
find yourself running short of ideas.
Boy on a Boat
A playboy has survived the outbreak by hiding on his
yacht, and dropping anchor in the middle of the river.
He entertains himself by taking potshots at zombies as
they wander along the shore, for they seem unable to
swim. But the fellow is both arrogant and careless, and
sooner or later he’s going to make a mistake.
Castle on the Hill
A rich old gentleman has taken refuge in his mansion,
with his family and staff. He has sufficient supplies to
last months, and the building is secure. Unfortunately
it’s also in a prominent location, and a gang of escaped
convicts are planning to take it for themselves.
8
Church of the Damned
A naive but well-meaning pastor runs a local church,
and he believes the zombies are the result of demonic
possession, so he refuses kill them—instead, he ties up
the infected, hoping that he can somehow find a way
to “exorcise” their demons. Of course it’s only a matter
of time until the zombies manage to break free, and
attack the pastor’s congregation.
Last Orders
A group of friends have decided to head to the local
pub, knock back some cold beers, play a few rounds of
pool, and wait until things settle down. The location is
hardly secure, however, and it probably won’t be long
until a horde of hungry zombies smash their way in.
Left Behind
A single survivor wakes up in a hospital ward, having
been abandoned by his friends and family. Did they
think he was dead? Or perhaps they had to leave in a
hurry, and didn’t have the time or opportunity to take
him with them. But his chances of survival don’t look
good, for he is alone and unarmed.
Mall Refuge
A group of survivors have barricaded themselves in a
shopping mall, where they have everything they need
to survive. But it’s a very spacious area to defend, and
it’s not just zombies who are trying to get inside the
mall. Worse still, one of the survivors has been bitten,
and is keeping it secret.
Project Nekromanteion
Many years ago, a government organization captured
a vampire, and they performed many experiments on
their unlucky test subject. Project Nekromanteion was
eventually shut down, but there were rumors about it
being continued off the books in a top secret research
facility, with a strong emphasis on potential military
applications. Could this mysterious project somehow
be connected to the zombie virus?
Warlord on Wheels
A vicious gang of bikers drive around town, enjoying
the opportunity to do whatever they wish. The leader
of the gang views himself as some sort of modern-day
feudal warlord, and he plans to extend and enforce his
influence over his newly claimed domain by whatever
means necessary.
 Oracle Tables
Overview
Blood & Bile includes oracle tables for questions, locations, survivors and events. Roll two dice, one red and one
green, and cross-reference the results on the appropriate table. Optionally, you can also roll a blue die.
Questions are defined as either simple (yes/no) or complex (requiring interpretation), and whenever you ask a
question, there is the option of rolling a third (blue) die as well. The result of the blue die isn’t used directly, but if
all three dice roll the same number, roll for a randomly triggered event and weave it into the story.

Simple Questions
Whenever the players ask questions, try to avoid answering “yes” or “no.” Instead, just tell the player how likely it
is, and then roll the dice to determine the answer, narrating it in a way that fits the scene.
The red die indicates if the answer is “yes” or “no.” If the probability is “very likely,” the answer is “yes” on 2+,
“likely” is “yes” on 3+, “maybe” on 4+, “unlikely” on 5+, and “very unlikely” on 6. Otherwise, the answer is “no.”
The green die may add a caveat: Rolling 1-2 indicates a “but,” while 5-6 indicates an “and.” The oracle should
then describe the caveat within the context of the question.
Example: Joe asks if the door of an abandoned building has been left unlocked, and the oracle responds that it’s
“unlikely.” She rolls F and E, so the answer is “yes and”—the oracle decides that not only has the door been left
unlocked, it’s also slightly ajar. If the answer had been “yes but,” the door might have been unlocked but jammed,
while “no and” could have meant the door was locked and barred, and “no but” could have indicated the door was
locked but the key was still in the lock.

Complex Questions
If the question cannot be answered with “yes” or “no,” roll on both of the following tables, and interpret the result
in a way that fits the question. Don’t waste too much time thinking about the answer, just give the first reasonable
response that comes to mind, within the context of the question. The answer involves:

A B C D E F
A Abandonment Abuse Agreement Arrival Assistance Attainment
B Barrier Betrayal Care Combat Communication Concealment
C Control Deceit Decrease Delay Dispute Exposure
D Failure Increase Investigation Mistrust Neglect Overthrow
E Prevention Punishment Pursuit Rejection Release Ruin
F Struggle Theft Transformation Trick Trust Vengeance

…of, over, or related to…

A B C D E F
A Advice Allies Ambush Animals Conflict Desire
B Enemy Fear Food Friendship Goal Home
C Hope Illness Information Innocent Jealousy Journey
D Leadership Lies Love Messages Military Plans
E Possession Prisoner Property Rival Secret Technology
F Vehicle Victim Victory Weapons Weather Wounds

Example: Joe observes a gang of bikers breaking into a house, and asks what they’re up to. The oracle rolls F A
(attainment) on the first table, and D F (weapons) on the second table. She describes how the bikers are collecting
firearms from the house; either they hid the weapons there previously, or else they know (or perhaps have reason
to suspect) that there are some weapons stored on the premises.
