Built in the same world in which we originally released our Pathfinder (PF1) edition of the game (found here), this edition of the game updates the world while giving gamers a 5e-compatible version of the rules. This edition of the book is much larger than the original, totaling 416 pages compared to the previous book's 256 pages. In fact, this edition of the book expands a lot of the world, offering readers two chapters (10, 11) filled with lore about the world that game masters can use to help create vivid, supernatural stories set in the darker corners of our modern world. 

A sign with the copy, "The Waiting Room" dominates the foreground of a setting sun.

In development since 2018, this edition of Bloodlines & Black Magic gives players and game masters so much more to work with, including over 100 pages of spells designed exclusively for modern play. Similar in many ways to their 5e counterparts, these spells are described in the context of this modern world, with each spell providing game masters with a brief description of how onlookers might perceive the magic. Likewise, this edition explains and expands attunement. Heroes in Bloodlines & Black Magic can attune to more than just magical weapons; heroes can attune to magical places, otherworldly entities (via pacts and familiars), trusted allies, skills, their bloodline abilities, and the special items they find throughout the Invisible World.

In addition to updating each of the bloodlines and all seven classes from the original game, this edition of the book gives players and game masters a chapter filled with backgrounds and additional options to enhance or deepen your hero's story. Players will find pages of additional options that let them expand their character's history and resources and help them deepen their stories.

Blending the visual approach of a black & white project, this edition of the book bends some of the colors back into the Invisible World, giving readers updates to the art throughout the book. While the content in this book mirrors much of what is found in the black & white edition, this version includes updates and errata. 

Bloodlines & Black Magic is a horror roleplaying game that addresses the monsters lurking in the supernatural realms and
broken people in our world. As such, it deals with mature concepts and ideas. While we take care to remind you throughout the book, you should be aware of this before you open the cover. 

Warning: If you are sensitive to horror, the occult, or supernatural themes, please consider playing a different game.
This game engages in nuanced discussions about violence (and how to avoid it), monsters, cryptids, horror, death, necromancy, Goëtic Spirits, magic, psychic abilities, portals to other worlds, conspiracy theories, secret governments, and a host of other strange topics best suited for uncovering mysteries and delving deeper into the Invisible World.

If you and your group have been looking for a 5e-compatible, modern horror game, consider playing Bloodlines & Black Magic.

This book contains everything you need to play.

How is this different from the B&W (updated 2019) version I purchased besides color?

The most recent update to the book finalizes how the color version will look for this edition. Compared to the original color/B&W versions (which were 472 pages in length), this is a slightly slimmer 416 pages, with newer art and all the previous errata incorporated.

Regarding a discount, Christopher, drop me a message on my website (or on our FB page), and I'll do precisely that.

~Cheers,

Is this available in softcover like the pathfinder version and maybe black and white? Also is the print version available in other places Lulu or Amazon. Drives thru wait from print to shipping is little long.

I have bought the B&W version for the same amount of money. Do I have to buy it again to get it in color?

I guess I misremembered. I remember it was more expensive by 10 bucks over other 5Es I had, but had a hundred extra pages of content so I felt it justified. If I had known a color version was on the horizon I would have held off. Any chance for a $10 upgrade?

Thanks in advance for your response.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
