While Vampire: The Masquerade is the obvious option when you want to play a TTRPG where you get to be a vampire, the problem is you need a full table of pretend bloodsuckers to make it work. If you're the only wannabe vampire in your group and everyone else would rather be a more typical RPG hero, your options are limited. Rules for playing a dhampir were included in the D&D supplement Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft back in 2021, but being half a vampire isn't enough for everyone.
Which is where Bound By Blood comes in. The upcoming supplement by Ghostfire Gaming in co-operation with White Wolf will include rules for a vampire class in D&D 5th edition that has blood points to spend, bloodline powers called disciplines to spend them on, and an inner beast to contend with just like they do in Vampire: The Masquerade. It'll also include an adventure set in Vampire's "Dark Ages" timeline, which winds the clock back to medieval Europe.
