Dear Mortals,
During thousands of years Vampires have been chased and hunted by other beasts like werewolves or well-trained Vampire-hunters, tough opponents that through the years have improved their skills and hunting techniques. All this added to their well organized groups took the vampires to the edge of extinction. Fighting for survival the lords of the night started searching among the urban tribes a place to hide and feed. Around the 1980’s with the tango spreading rapidly around Europe, they found the perfect scene for hiding, feeding and reproduce: The Milonga. Tango was already in that time more than a simple hobby, was a passion, today is more accurate to say that is an epidemic obsession that influences their adepts, shaking their routines and changing their lives. Every night the “tangueros” with vampiric elegance go out, visit the nightclubs, build groups & clans, which make harder the task of those who pretend to hunt those, like they like to call them: blood suckers.
As a consequence of all this, those strong enemies had to learn more than the techniques to neutralize and eliminate a vampire, but also the gentleness of the dance, in order to walk with elegance and not like mere exterminators or wild animals.
With the vampires are on the edge of extinction and the Masquerade is stronger than ever but one of the safest areas for vampires will bring together some of the last vampires of this world, the elders, the Sons and Daughters of Cain.
For the coming events listen new players!!!

What is Tango in Blood?
Tango in blood is a social game that takes place in the tango scene in a clandestine way, which means that those who are at the selected playground but not playing, shouldn’t know that the game is taking place. Like any “Social Game” the principal objectives are fun and entertainment and it tries to build a favorable context for the interaction of people, inspiring dialogs; teaching, learning and sharing values of friendship. The relationships among the players and also between players and non-players will be influenced in a positive way, since the game proposes roles which follow codes of respect and camaraderie.
In “Tango in Blood” any negative aspect associated with the proposed roles of fantasy are re-contextualized through metaphoric actions in the real world, always in a positive way, based on ideals of sharing and respect. For example, what in the fantasy world would be the fed of a vampire through the drain of blood from a victim, action called “Vampiric Embrace”, in the real world this action is symbolized through the embrace of the player while dancing with the victim. In no case these concepts should be understood literally.
General Features for Vampires lvl.1:
+ Vampires ask for dancing with a gaze and the head movement
they have the skill to charm the victims, vampires search visual contact first and invite to dance suggesting it with the eyes (female vampires), or with the movement of the head (male vampires)
+ Sustained Embracement
While dancing this embracement is the metaphor for the feeding and reproduction of the vampire (the elegant vampires hold the embrace on a pause of the dance to symbolize the length of the processes of feeding or conversion)
+ Vampires can transform others into vampire, but just one per night
the victim is informed immediately, but he/she cannot convert another into vampire the same night he/she has been converted
+ Dance in shifts
is common that vampires dance not more than 4 or 5 songs with the same person, because the necessity of feeding themselves they try to dance with differents persons
How to level up (for more engaged players):
+ Being active in the online forums and groups.
+ Assisting to the events (participating in Milongas and other events related to the game)
+ Amount of converted people
Combat Rules:
1°) Vampires count Blood-Points or “Vitae” (BP) as the quantity of persons which they dance with in a night (holding close embracement with the victim).
2°) You count how many persons you danced with in a night independent of how many songs you dance with each one.
3°) When there is a confrontation with other player, each one says their own blood points, the one who has more wins.
4°) For high level characters they can invest Blood Points (BP) to activate special abilities.
