Renegade Game Studio to launch Anne Rice’s Immortal Universe RPG campaign

Renegade Game Studio is set to launch a BackerKit crowdfunding campaign for Anne Rice’s Immortal Universe RPG on Tuesday, October 27, 2026. Licensed through AMC’s television network continuity, the initial release will focus on the ‘Interview with the Vampire’ setting, specifically centered in New Orleans between 1910 and 2020.

The starter set will include a hardcover rulebook and various accessories such as dice, bags, and journals. The game utilizes a bespoke system featuring damage tracks for physical, psychological, and emotional states, alongside a ‘Flashback System’ for character backstory integration.

A core mechanic is the dynamic test resolution system, which replaces static difficulty classes with a dice pool system. Results are categorized into natural, controlled, chaotic, or failed successes. Notably, a ‘complications mechanic’ or ‘Escalation’ can occur when players roll excessive successes or fail significantly, introducing operational complications to the gameplay.
