“The extent of misery, ignorance and vice amidst all the wealth and great knowledge of the ‘first city of the world’ is, to say the least, a national disgrace to us all." - Henry Mayhew, 1851

It’s January 1862 in the City of London. They call it “a Modern Babylon”.

There has not been a greater city since Rome at the height of empire. Millions live here amongst the mud and the gin, together in the slums and the high rises. Ships depart to every corner of the world. The sun never sets on the British Empire.

The city burst at the seams and there’s more than enough blood for everyone. This is the first time in centuries that the dead can gather in numbers in peace and without tearing each other together in war.

Queen Victoria and all her subjects are in mourning. The funeral of Prince Albert is tomorrow. Everyone is obsessed with death. London is soon to be released from a sombre mood that has lasted for decades. It is the start of an unstoppable growth in London’s nightlife that will go on for centuries, a sign that traditions are to be cast aside.

Go and get it together. It’s a big city and it might be different this time.

Paint The Town Red is a melancholic vampire tabletop game in which players create vampires afflicted with the Curse of Undeath, navigating vibrant, historically significant cities where the undead form a bustling nightlife. Sessions resemble lively nights out, complete with pre-drinks, loud music, smoking area, and hangovers, rather than heroic quests.

In the dying land of Ancalia, a once-proud kingdom lies shattered under the weight of divine betrayal and eldritch horror. Plagued by the monstrous Uncreated and abandoned by its former god, the realm teeters on the edge of oblivion. Amid the ruin, warlords carve up the remnants of power, desperate refugees crowd fallen cities, and dark cults whisper promises in the shadow of broken cathedrals.

Into this chaos rise the Godbound—newborn divinities emerging from the ashes with power enough to defy fate itself. Will you rally the scattered people and forge a new kingdom from ruin? Will you strike pacts with dark forces to win impossible victories? Or will you unleash your divine wrath to purge the land of all that defiles it?

Ashes of Ancalia is a campaign of mythic heroism and grim choices, where divine power meets human desperation. In a land with no gods left to save it, only you stand between salvation and annihilation.

Step into the shattered world of Godbound, where you don’t just play heroes—you become gods. As newly ascended demigods wielding the raw power of the divine, you can shatter armies, reshape reality, and carve your will into the bones of a broken world. Built on a fast, streamlined d20 system, Godbound focuses on narrative-driven action and dramatic impact, with flexible mechanics that let you bend the rules of reality through powerful "Words" like War, Passion or Death. If you've ever wanted to skip the grind and dive straight into mythic storytelling where your choices shape empires, Godbound is your battlefield, your legacy, and your legend in the making.

What to bring: Dice, pencils and scrap paper. Character sheets will be provided.

Please arrive thirty minutes before the game starts for character generation.
