Eureka: The XXX-Files (Beta May 29th, 2025)
A downloadable Trait Expansion
This new mini-expansion for Eureka: Investigative Urban Fantasy gets into the salacious side of life with brand new optional rules, three new mundane traits, and a new paranormal trait. Whether it's big boobs (and a downstairs to match), high heels, or bare feet, Eureka: The XXX-Files has it.
The new monster trait, the succubus, takes that passion in a darker direction. This monster needs love (in physical form) to survive, but every touch leaves hooks in her partner that can easily leave them dead by morning.
Like the wolfman trait, the succubus is not based on historical beliefs and depictions of succubi, but rather modern depictions, because the potential for themes were too good to pass up. Eureka succubi are not demons, but they are women who are demonized.
A succubus is a manifestation of a particular brand of misogyny, a sexist caricature of attractive women, made real. In a world where those without assets starve and die, can a woman whose only assets are sexual attractiveness really be blamed for leveraging them?
A succubus “eats” her victims through physical intimacy, and draws sexual attention, whether she likes it or not.

There's a lot of interesting stuff in the succubus trait!
Something I am slightly confused on that I don't think the page or book elaborate on currently.
The phrasing of "A succubus is not a demon, she is demonized" seems to have not only thrown me, but others off too. Is this to mean that being demonized literally turns someone into a succubus, in the same way one could get turned into a vampire?
Later on, you also call succubi a manifestation of sexism and sexualization.
What EXACTLY are they? Are they manifestations of sexualization that were never exactly humans, manifesting seperately from humans (and are "demonized like how women are, but not demons"), or are their traits and properties manifested in women who are demonized, like how a latent curse might manifest in a person?
The latter.
Got it!!! Thank you so much!
