So, one of my much younger cousins turned 16 recently. He's been big into video games for a while. I just found out through my aunt that he's started getting into RPGs, "Vampire" being one of them.
I wanted to get him a more indie-style game for his 16th birthday. Given the similarities in theme and mood between Houses and Vampire, I settled on what I hope will be the perfect choice. It just shipped, and I'm not sure if I'll hear from him until the holiday visits to know how he liked it.
But I just wanted to mention it, as I really like being able to give an RPG as a present, and it was really cool it could be Houses of the Blooded.
