Created by DRS Publishing

A moon later, as it sinks and is born anew, an adventure awaits in the streets of Kanrath. A night of hysteria, a night where every second weighs heavier than time should bear.

Pay Over Time Enabled

Greetings Detectives,



The knock was firm but polite, echoing along the dimly lit street. Under the weak glow of a broken angst lamp stood four men marked by Kanrath silver badges: a human gentleman in a long coat, a broad orc with his buttons fastened tight, a stocky dwarf with a trimmed beard, and a halfling man holding a ledger close to his chest. They were blood tax officials, arriving on their yearly round.
    The door opened to a young man, no more than twenty-five. Warm candlelight fell behind him, showing fine clothes and a steady gaze. He knew at once why they had come. The human official spoke calmly, naming the due as if reading from memory.
    The young man listened, then answered with care. He accepted the tax but claimed his right to divide the payment, half now and half over time, as allowed by Kanrath law, given to the noble citizens of the city. The halfling wrote, the dwarf watched closely, and the orc remained still as stone.
    After a moment, the human nodded. The terms were accepted. The officials turned back into the night, and the door closed softly behind them, leaving the street quiet once more.

To cut it short, you asked for it, and we are bound to deliver. The pay over time feature is now officially enabled. We do not want you to miss the campaign, or the bloody goods of the White Wake.

This is a first for us. We have not used the pay over time feature before, but we are excited to explore it together with you. We could not be happier if this helps us reach you better and bring our content to your tables.

See you in The Night Before the White Wake!

FUNDED - Another Victory for the Damned!

Another Victory for the Damned!


We are elated to see that Bloodpunk still stirs hearts, that blood still calls to the strong, and that creeping angst continues to haunt our halls in joyful pain.

We extend our deepest appreciation to all of you, our delightful patrons. With your support and the crowds that will surely follow, we shall rejoice in bringing this project to life. Now, let us turn our gaze to what awaits us.

Upgrading Designs


Several talented artists, kind enough to take our hands and follow us into this unhallowed night, are currently working on new designs for the character sheet, posters, and dice set. We aim to share the creative process behind these designs and introduce you to the artists shaping these pieces.

For the dice, our goal is to add gothic-style metal edges cast over a resin core. We have received positive feedback from multiple manufacturers and are actively working to turn this idea into reality.

Blooddrop Materials


We are also progressing with the Blooddrop Pouch. Our manufacturers have confirmed that the design shown on the project page is fully producible. At the moment, we are finalizing material choices and minor structural details. While the overall design will remain true to what you have seen, there will be small refinements. We will share these adjustments in upcoming updates and shape the final version based on your feedback.

And More to Come


We do not wish to reveal everything at once. Instead, we will continue sharing our progress through regular updates as the project unfolds. Together, we hope to create yet another unforgettable work for the TTRPG community.

Why BackerKit?


As this is our first large project hosted on BackerKit, some returning backers may wonder why we chose this platform. The answer is simple: the BackerKit team has supported us consistently over the years and provided us with tools and guidance that made this project possible. With their assistance, we felt confident in launching something truly special. We extend our sincere thanks to them, even if they never see this message.

Our sincerest wishes,
DRS Team

We Invite You to the Crimson Streets of Kanrath
3 months ago – Tue, Jan 13, 2026 at 09:36:49 AM

Greetings Citizens of Kanrath,


We are officially under 30 minutes to launch.

In just a few moments, the gates of Kanrath open, and we invite you to step onto the crimson streets on Day 1. This project has lived in our heads, notes, drafts, and late nights for a long time, and seeing it finally come alive feels unreal. Bloodpunk: Night Before the White Wake is not just another adventure for us. It is a return to Kanrath from a darker angle, where crime festers in the open, authority is strained, and every alley hides a secret that wants to be uncovered.

From the very first hour, you will take the role of detectives of the Kanrath Bureau of Homicide and Major Crimes. While the city officials are busy chasing a terrible crime shaking the foundations of the city, smaller factions believe they can operate unnoticed. They are wrong. This time, you see Kanrath from the law’s point of view, closer to the blood, closer to the people, and closer to the rot beneath the marble and iron. Expect moral tension, hard choices, and a city that never fully tells the truth.


As we hit launch, your early support means everything. Day 1 momentum helps us shape the scale of the project, unlock more content, and push Bloodpunk further than we could alone. If Kanrath has ever called to you, if you want to walk its streets before the snow falls and the White Wake begins, now is the time.
Thank you for being here with us at the threshold.
 See you in Kanrath.

Greetings Citizens of Kanrath,

As the launch date draws near, things are finally locking into place, and it is honestly thrilling to see Bloodpunk: Night Before the White Wake take its final shape.

Over the past weeks, we have been refining the project. Books, boxes, accessories, and add-ons are all lining up, and the full spread of the campaign is starting to look like a proper feast for Bloodpunk fans.

You can see a snapshot above of the current lineup: books, miniatures, random encounter deck, dice, plushie, custom character sheet and more all gathered in one place.

What do you think about these final item selections?

Stretch Goals Are Coming. We Want Your Voice.
4 months ago – Fri, Dec 12, 2025 at 06:23:28 AM

Greetings Proud Citizens of Kanrath!

As we continue shaping this campaign, we are beginning to work on the stretch goals that will expand the experience beyond what will initially be promised. Extra art, new monsters, and more tools for GMs and players alike are all on the table. But before we lock anything in, we want to hear directly from you.

What would you like to see unlocked as stretch goals for The White Wake? More encounters, new factions, additional locations, expanded lore, unique items, or something completely unexpected? Your ideas matter, and many of our best additions in past campaigns started as conversations with backers.

Jump into the comments and share your thoughts. Feel free to discuss, debate, and build on each other’s ideas. We will be reading everything.

The fog is thick, the night is young, and the White Wake listens.
