<blockquote>
<p>a vampire tries to remain undetected while doing a blood heist at the
world series</p>
</blockquote>
<p>In this game you will:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>play an entire 9 inning game of baseball!</p></li>
<li><p>use random tables to create hometowns and team names!</p></li>
<li><p>create a VAMPIRE with STATS and a TITLE</p></li>
<li><p>surreptitiously harvest BLOOD!</p></li>
<li><p>random encounters!</p></li>
</ul>
<h2 id="you-will-need">YOU WILL NEED</h2>
<ul>
<li><p>these rules</p></li>
<li><p>dice: d6 (1) and d10 (2) at a minimum</p></li>
<li><p>tokens: for scorekeeping and playing baseball. coins, scraps of
paper, or a bunch of d6</p></li>
</ul>
<h2 id="intro">INTRO</h2>
<p>you are an ageless, ancient vampire who has managed to get a job
umpiring the world series where you are planning a BLOOD HEIST. these
elite athletes have such oxygen rich blood. you salivate just thinking
about it.</p>
<p>you have 9 innings.</p>
<p>keep the crowd on your side. avoid suspicion. get the blood. dont
get caught.</p>
<h2 id="make-a-vampire">MAKE A VAMPIRE</h2>
<p>there are two steps to making a vampire:</p>
<ol type="1">
<li><p>give them a name and a title</p></li>
<li><p>assign stats</p></li>
</ol>
<h3 id="vampire-name-and-title">VAMPIRE NAME AND TITLE</h3>
<p>Make up a name and a title or epithet</p>
<p>For example:</p>
<ol type="1">
<li><p>Trevor, Defiler of Dreams</p></li>
<li><p>Drusila the Magnanimous</p></li>
<li><p>Countess Lilith, Consort of Wolves</p></li>
<li><p>Horace the Exceptionally Punctual</p></li>
<li><p>Melchior the Radiant</p></li>
<li><p>Bella the Merciless</p></li>
<li><p>Standard Ed the Insatiable</p></li>
</ol>
<p>NOTE: gain +1 in a situation in which you can use some skill inferred
by your title</p>
<h3 id="vampire-stats">VAMPIRE STATS</h3>
<p>Assign +3, +2, and +1 to the following stats in any order you
please</p>
<ul>
<li><p>ANCIENT: you have accumulated a lot of mental prowess over the
eons. smarts, wits</p></li>
<li><p>BLOODLUST: your physical prowess. dashing, leaping,
lunging</p></li>
<li><p>CHARM: your ability to relate and manipulate.</p></li>
</ul>
<h3 id="blood-luck-favor">BLOOD LUCK FAVOR</h3>
<p>One more thing: you have resources that will go up and down as you
play. You can spend them to alter outcomes of roles. More on that
later.</p>
<ul>
<li><p>BLOOD: You have a large, orange, 10 gallon sports drink cooler.
You wanna fill this sucker full of blood. Start at 0. Max 10</p></li>
<li><p>LUCK: The fickle hand of fate. It may favor you, it may spurn
you. Start at 2. Max 10</p></li>
<li><p>FAVOR: The support of the crowd. Start at 5. Max 5.</p></li>
</ul>
<h2 id="make-some-baseball-teams">MAKE SOME BASEBALL TEAMS</h2>
<p>Make two teams to play in the championship match by combining a
Hometown with a Team Name</p>
<h3 id="hometowns">HOMETOWNS</h3>
<p>Make up your own. Or choose or roll.</p>

<p>Roll your two Challenge Dice.</p>
<p>Each time your Total is greater than a Challenge Dice, that is a HIT.
Each time your Total is equal to or less than a Challenge Dice, that is
a MISS.</p>

<li><p>FAVOR: if your FAVOR reaches zero, the crowd turns on you and
BOOS you out of the stadium. You have lost this BLOOD HEIST opportunity,
