LET THE STREETS RUN RED is now just a hop, skip, and a jump away from widespread release so this is a thread for discussing the news and updates (as well as contents) of CULTS OF THE BLOOD GODS and its various supplements.
As a supplement, it successfully was Kickstartered and will release with a huge amount of information on Kindred religions and cults. It also has a number of PDF-only supplements that were stretch goals.
* Cults of the Blood Gods
* Trail of Ash and Bone
* Children of the Blood (Formerly, "The Faithful Undead", A Children of the Inquisition-esque supplement)
* Forbidden Religion (more insane and evil cults)
Now these are probably a long way off with the exception of COTBG but I am really excited about these, especially Trail of Ash and Bone.

* Cults of the Blood Gods
Kindred build and are drawn to faiths for myriad reasons. The exertion of power over a flock. Satisfying their Hunger and their Beasts. Elevation of the self. Reassurance of the possibility of redemption. A grand plan they forged or that was bestowed upon them by secret masters. While some vampire cults span the globe hiding in plain sight, others are fringe faiths with morbid practices and ancient conspiracies lasting centuries. Others such as the incestuous
Clan of Death and the malignant Church of Set — arguably the largest vampire cults of all — believe in a destiny that will enable them to impose their wills on the world of the living and the dead.
Whether for power, salvation, or transcendence, all Kindred cults wallow in blood. They shed it in sacrifice, demand it of their followers, and exalt in it in unholy baptisms proclaiming their divine glories. These cults dedicated to blood gods are among the most insidious, damning sects of Kindred, and tonight they approach their apex of power.
