	Houses of the Blooded is the new [[RPG]] by John Wick (no, not THAT one, fess up, I know you thought of him), (co)author of legendary games [[Legend of the Five Rings]] and [[7th Sea]].		Houses of the Blooded is the new [[RPG]] by John Wick (no, not THAT one, fess up, I know you thought of him), (co)author of legendary games [[Legend of the Five Rings]] and [[7th Sea]].

	Wick designed Houses as a response to a [[D&D]] dominated industry, even marketing it as an anti-D&D. Wick proceeded by subverting many stereotypes of the game and the fantasy genre it belongs to. Instead of Conan he was inspired by Elric, characters aren't wandering adventurers making their fortune, but established nobles, playing the 'game of thrones'. Dungeons, combat and heroism are all largely replaced by romance, revenge and tragedy (although duels and monster killing are still very much part of the game). The game also sports simple abstract rules for things often ignored in roleplaying games such as land management, marriage, long term goals and massive scale battles.

	According to the Wikipedia article, the game takes "a swords and sorcery approach" and focuses on "... domain management". Considering that D&D was originally inspired by swords & sorcery (appendix N anyone?) and featured a very prominent domain system, it is apparent that somebody has not done their homework.
