#BIPOCVampDay Showcase, Part I

The cast of Bloodspell' was always intended to be diverse, and racism through the ages was something I wanted to set up for consideration. That's the thing about a vampire story: it lets you take the long view on things, by having a character experience a social phenomenon from whenever you want up to whenever it's set.

Dominique Bien-Aimé, top right, Haitian affranchi until she went on the run, has moved through a strange middle ground - a slave, then a freeman's wife, then part of the new aristocracy post-revolution, and then a refugee.

Sylvester, bottom left, has been a low-grade part of the colonising machine, and a disenfranchised pirate, but always Spanish, always European - until he embedded himself in America, and minority status accumulated around him without his understanding. He's always been down and out, but now he's differently down and out.

Laetitia, middle, viewpoint character, is Algerian, and an early draft in which their story was set in the UK still holds up for describing her feelings about that. In that draft, she's complaining about a customer at her all-night petrol station job who called her "Paki" - as she put it, these haters can't even get the right continent. Laetitia's the youngest character, the postmodern postcolonial girl, and part of her journey into vampirism involves where she's from and what happened there, particularly when she meets Clarimonde (bottom right) - nineteenth-century French-North-African colonist.

(Dorian, top left, is white as the inside of an icebox. Their thing is intersectionality: being queer, in an interracial reletionship, and monogamous, dating someone who's very poly.)

I wasn't quite sure how to get all of this into the flavour text of an experimental RPG booklet, but - maybe one day. ' The indie vampire "roleplaying experience" I made a few years back, based on Epidiah Ravachol's Wolfspell and illustrated by @sluggybunny. You can still buy it, and one day I will put out the Extended Edition. One day.

Before you go: today is a fundraiser. Sickle Cell Awareness. We all need healthy blood.
