What Ghostfire Gaming does

Ghostfire Gaming is a private, Melbourne-based tabletop role-playing game publisher founded in 2019, operating with a small team of 11-50 employees. The company specializes in creating officially licensed RPG supplements, with its flagship product being 'Vampire: The Masquerade—Bound by Blood,' launched in July 2026. This supplement bridges the Vampire: The Masquerade universe with Dungeons & Dragons 5.5e, introducing a full Kindred (vampire) class with proprietary mechanics including a Blood Points resource system, Disciplines (vampiric powers), and a Dark Ages adventure module.

The company's core technology is tabletop RPG supplement design and game system engineering, producing content that integrates licensed IP into established RPG frameworks. Its primary differentiation is dual-IP licensing: Ghostfire holds agreements with both Wizards of the Coast (for D&D 5.5e) and Paradox Interactive (for the Vampire: The Masquerade IP), enabling it to create officially sanctioned crossover content. The product is distributed exclusively through D&D Beyond, the dominant digital marketplace for D&D content, providing access to a global audience of tabletop RPG players.

Ghostfire's business model is built on one-time digital sales of supplements, with revenue generated per purchase rather than through subscriptions or licensing fees to end users. The company serves individual tabletop RPG players and D&D enthusiasts seeking specialized, IP-licensed content. The company is led by co-founder and CEO Jordon Gibson. No funding rounds, revenue figures, or pricing details are publicly disclosed, and the company's growth signals are concentrated in its product launch and IP partnerships.
