  You were among the most elite of assassins within Babel, a globe-spanning secret order of Agents and their Shareholders. You retired from that life, making for yourself a small corner of the world untouched by the blood on your name.

  You may have married, had children, or adopted a beloved pet — but one day, you stepped away from that corner and the blood seeped in. THE ONES YOU LOVED were killed. You know, beyond a shadow of any doubt, the identity of THE ONE WHO WRONGED YOU.

  And worst of all? You know what you must become to take your revenge.

  —

  Blood on My Name is a solo journaling RPG that follows a former assassin on a mission of revenge. Delve into a shadowy underworld filled with espionage and intrigue, connect to former professional associates, explore clandestine locales, and eliminate anyone and anything that stands between you and your target.

  Inspired by the films of Chad Stahelski (the John Wick film franchise) and the spy fiction works of John le Carré (The Karla Trilogy) and Ian Fleming (The Bond Series), this game is not about fame or glory. It's about vengeance. Violence. The depths that you're willing to sink to, when everything that you love is dead and all that's left is the pain of that loss.

  Death lurks in every shadow that Babel casts, and your character's survival is far from guaranteed. TAKE YOUR REVENGE, OR DIE TRYING.
