In the murk and fog of Victorian London, where the gaslight barely cuts through the oppressive shadows, a secret society of hunters wages a war against the eldritch horrors that creep at the edges of civilization. Welcome to Rippers: Blood & Steam, a chilling actual-play podcast set in the macabre world of Rippers Resurrected, a gothic horror setting for the Savage Worlds system. In this world, monsters aren’t merely the stuff of legend—they are real, and they walk among us.

Vampires haunt the upper echelons of society, their pallid faces veiled in decadence, while werewolves prowl beneath the moon, their hunger insatiable. But humanity’s only hope lies with the Rippers—brave, tormented souls who fight back the creeping tide of darkness. Through the dark art of Rippertech, they graft the power of their monstrous enemies into their own flesh, becoming something more—and less—than human. Each victory is a sacrifice. Each step forward, a descent into damnation.

In Rippers: Blood & Steam, danger stalks the Rippers through every fog-laden alley and blood-soaked battlefield, as they unearth forbidden secrets and confront the eldritch cabals that seek to plunge the world into madness. From the haunted streets of London to the cursed tombs of Eastern Europe, every moment is steeped in dread. The horror is not only in the monsters they fight—but in the corruption creeping into their very souls.

This is a world where the boundaries between man and monster blur, where the blood of the innocent spills as easily as that of the guilty. It is a realm where steam-powered contraptions and the occult collide in a dazzling, yet horrific, dance. Dark, atmospheric, and relentlessly tense, Rippers: Blood & Steam pulls listeners into a web of fear, mystery, and thrilling action, where every encounter may spell both salvation and doom.

With voice-acted characters, lush soundscapes, and a story that unfolds through every tortured whisper and clashing steel, Rippers: Blood & Steam is a tale of gothic terror and steampunk adventure, woven together with the threads of fate and blood. The heroes who hunt the monsters are not unscathed; they are shaped by their battles, both outwardly and within. And as they face unimaginable evils, they must ask themselves: When the night ends, will they be able to recognize what’s left of their humanity?

Darkness rises. And so, too, must they.
