Hlautbolli: The Blood Cup
A downloadable game
Horror themed holiday adventure? Advent related monster hunting and making blood sacrifices to the antichrist... If your not immediately turned off by these ideas this adventure could be fun for you. :D
Inside this 20 page, sacrilegious, one night fever dream of a project you will find a journey to fill the Hlautbolli (Blood Cup) with a range of sacrificial monster offerings that mimic the song "12 days of Christmas". With each sacrifice made a new and terrible fate awaits your players.
Within this document you will find the following:
- 12 unique Creatures themed after the song "The 12 Days of Christmas"
- a few heavily modified public domain images
- 12 character wreaking event tables
- A mix of 45 abilities, skills and deformities for your players to gain
- 1 very scary baby

This project was developed for submission to the
GameJam Checklist:
- A5 portrait format | Easy! Done! - 3-5mm of bleed on all edges. | No Problem I made a special one with bleed! -Please keep text 8mm from page edges and gutters. | Umm... text that matters is! -Five pages or less | If you only count the numbers on the pages. yes! -Please include the 3rd party MÖRK BORG license text on your submission, ideally on an extra page | You know it! -Make it dark, make it morose, but avoid any racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, or otherwise discriminatory content. | It's kinda anti religous but thats just part of the theme. I mean... MÖRK BORG is full of upside down crosses. whatcha gonna do?
- The Merriest | Look at all that red and gold seasonal flavor!
- The Scariest | You are sent to trudge around and kill monsters and drain their blood to appease the Antichrist... I think thats pretty scary.
- The Most Blasphemous | I have incorporated the 12 days of Christmas, the crown of thorns, blood sacrifice and blood drinking, I mean its pretty tough to take it much further.
- Overall (primary criteria) Yeah, I think I win this one lol

Hi, do you have an email for business contact?
oh, wow, 5 months ago? I am the worst at keeping up with comments on itch apparently. Yes, my email is alex@newyearstudios.com
This is too good. Miserably good, even.
Thanks! Glad you're enjoying it. I was not sure how it turned out. It's always nice to get that positive feed back.
