Lore
Ending spoilers abound in all links.
A redditor wrote a 90 page treatise on his Bloodborne theories. Correct or not (and all Souls games have ongoing debate about lore interpretations), it is a good resource for anyone aspiring to build a Bloodborne rpg.
The Paleblood Hunt:

I really like Bloodborne. The earlier Souls games are fun too but Bloodborne hooked me hard.
I'm currently running a BRP game that acts as a prequel to Bloodborne. The players are early hunters in far flung areas of the country around Yharnam before the discovery of the Beast Plague's cause. Neither players has played the game before so they are gonna be REALLY surprised.

I have such a fever to play Bloodborne it is nuts. I actually own the Collector's Edition, but don't have a PS4 to play it on. Hopefully that'll change soon, but until then I must subsist on Let's Plays. I have played Dark Souls 1 and 2, though not to completion, and something about Bloodborne's faster pace and setting seems to grab a lot more than the older From Software Souls-style games.
Between Bloodborne and the kickstarter for Koji Igarashi's new IGAvania game, Bloodstained, I've got a serious Edwardian/Victorian-era, fighting monsters, Castlevania, type itch I'm hoping to scratch soon with running Accursed, the Savage Worlds monstrous heroes RPG.

Is that why Caleb kept bringing it up on the latest episodes? Is he torturing you?

Probably. I throw Palladium and deadEarth at him, so I deserve it

Bloodborne has pretty amazing architecture based on Gothic and Gothic Revival of the 1800s, if you want to get some more ideas for Ruin :P

WHY MUST YOU TORMENT ME

Aaaaand we're live!

What's the sizzle? Anything fancy about your stream? Will you be doing a run wearing only the top hat? I demand bread and circuses!

I'm trying to decide between an Undertaker or Belmont playthrough. Undertaker would be Axe -> Kirkhammer asap, Belmont would be the Threaded Cane. Any suggestions either way or something else?
-
Belmont would be cool.
My next playthrough I want to build for sorcery since I did strength my first time through and didn't get to see all fo the cool stuff. And for my own entertainment I want to never equip pants.
ADDITION: Ooh! I might try and do Guts with Ludwing's Blade and the Cannon. Not sure what armor set to use... Executioner?
-
Cainhurst or Bone Ash sets minus a helm might fit for a Guts build.
I actually finished my first play through this weekend! Got the Childhood's Beginning ending and now I'm already through Vicar Amelia in NG+. Man do I love this game.
I'll stream my Belmont file again sometime this week if anybody feels like watching.

Well Caleb hasnt finished Bloodborne yet and all my alts are too high level to help him, and he hasnt played much of the Dark Souls stuff so I dont know how his morale will handle the prospect of a third Dark Souls game looming over him...
-
Heavy metal album cover thematics continue to be front and center. I love the look of the new stuff so far.

I got a PS4 last night and played some Bloodborne. I died many times - mostly to not remembering which button does what.

Nice! Feel free to add me on PSN, KamenOtaku, and we can do some co-op if you need help.

I don't have PS Plus so I can't play online but here's my advice: if you get stuck at one place, backtrack a bit and look around. There are always tons of other routes to explore if one of them is giving you trouble.
-
I don't have PS Plus yet - let me get used to the game a bit, maybe at least beat the first boss.

To tag onto this, break like every box/chair/barrel you see, there's hidden paths and items all over the place.

And when we say "break" we mean "roll through". Preferably without looking.

This is why I haven't bought Bloodborne yet. I haven't finished one of the first THREE souls games.

NO. Do a blind run like this guy.
