The Blood Must Flow
The Blood Must Flow was my 2018 entry to the 200wordRPG competition. It's a folk horror microRPG about harvest-time, bounty & celebration, and the cost of plenty. It was inspired by the world's most unsettling tourism campaign and favourably compared by one reader to Shirley Jackson's The Lottery.
