ROYAL BLOOD is an 80-page rules-light heist roleplaying game for three or more players and a gamesmaster. To play, you’ll need a deck of tarot cards and a handful of coins.
Royal Blood RPG
YOU are a Royal – half-magic, half-human.
- Update, January 6th 2025: Following its very successful Kickstarter, you can now pre-order the redesigned Royal Blood here.
You’re one of the court cards from the tarot deck – the impetuous Princess of Wands, the calculating Knight of Pentacles, the empire-building Queen of Wands, and so on. You use magic like a brick through the window of the world.
THEY are the Arcane – Death, The Hanged Man, The Devil, The Lovers, The Star. They are reality-bending monsters that wear human skin like a suit.
TONIGHT, before dawn, you are going to corner one of them and take their power for your own in a heist the likes of which the worlds have never seen. The city is going to burn. It’s going to be beautiful.

Sam –
The perfect one-shot rpg. A framework that keeps the story focused without being constricting. An immediately understandable setting sold on vibes rather than pages amd pages of lore. And a system that cuts to the cool bits without wasting anyone’s time.
