''Houses of the Blooded'' is a tabletop roleplaying game by developer Creator/JohnWick, of ''TabletopGame/LegendOfTheFiveRings'' and ''TabletopGame/SeventhSea'' fame. It was made as a response to ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' in a vein of self-described "Anti-D&D". The game starts players off as [[SupernaturalElite ancient and powerful nobility]] known as the Ven, a race native to the lands of Shanri. They are a very self-absorbed and emotional race, more concerned with gathering and gaining power than improving the world in any way that doesn't fit into their own views. The only real advancement is in adding to your power and thwarting others, freezing them in their tracks before crushing them.

* PoliticallyCorrectHistory: Invoked via LiteraryAgentHypothesis: In John Wick's constructed history of the Ven, he notes that the "real" Ven were terribly sexist, but that their own literature tended to portray women as being on equal footing with men, and that's how he's chosen to portray the social dynamics in-game.
