Oops, All Draculas! was created for Dracula Jam 2021 and one of the first games to use the Buddy System emphasizing teamwork and found family. Sometimes called a "What We Do in the Shadows" simulator, Oops, All Draculas! is a ttrpg that can be as silly or as dark as you choose.
How to Play
Oops, All Draculas! is a d6 (six-sided die) dice pool game using either tarot or "Dracula" by Bram Stoker (or your favorite Dracula book, do you, live your best Dracula life) and can be played with or without a Dracula Master. In it, you play as various styles of Dracula all living together in a home of your design. Whether from internal or external forces, shenanigans ensue. Be they Dracula hunters, new Draculas in town, werewolves, or the hated Home Ownership Association, a Dracula's life is never easy.
Choose your Dracula archetype and assign statistics to your Dracula abilities. Choose your familiar, and then create your home as a group. Whenever you come up against something that requires rolling ---if something is uncertain---roll as many d6s as you have in the relevant statistic. 5s and 6s are successes. If a fellow Dracula helps you, add +1d6 for each helper. If your familiar can help, add +1d6 for them as well. Lastly, if rolling while in your home, add an additional +1d6. Beware of magical backfire, however! Things can go very wrong when too many Draculas put their magic together...
Good luck, and don't suck it up!
It was clear if any of my games were going to be available in print, this had to be the first. This campaign features the same Draculas you know and love, but now with updated art and brand new character sheets.
Will you play as the wealthy Aristocrat? The deadly Innocuous? The fearsome Nosferatu? The artistic Sentimentalist? Or the leather loving Techno?
The game is completed. It has been written, including minor edits to the text to include examples of play, pop cultural touchstones, and clearer rules explanations. The art is completed and it is laid out. It's ready to go. It will be printed by Spencer Printing (a local printer) and fulfilled by Brandfox. Shipping delays are always a potential risk, however with a completed project, the risks here are minimal. You are paying for me to afford printing costs. Everything else, apart from stretch goals, is done.
The original version of the game is temporarily unavailable, but you can play The Dracula at the End of the Lane (which introduces the Aristocrat archetype to The Coven a the End of the Lane's witches) here or watch the actual play by Threeflings below.
