Superspeed and slowdown time? WINGS?

I'm not totally sure where you are getting this from son.

According to mythos vampires are quite OCD and must count any spilled small objects such as rice or beads, cannot cross running water, cannot consume garlic, cannot face sunlight and look relatively decrepit/dishevelled. Though of course the pros and cons of being a vampire would vary wildy from myth to myth, modern day ones tend to focus on the positives when the vampires are the heroes and negatives when they are the antagonists.

Immortality would be nice though..]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404144/3449211.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404144/3449211.page GMT Would you like to be a vampire (NOT a twilight one)... http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404144/3449216.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404144/3449216.page GMT Would you like to be a vampire (NOT a twilight one)...

This is another thing, classical vampires did KILL and DRAIN a victim of blood whereas the modern versions just drink some and leave the victim unharmed.

Also I see a lot of negatives about being a vampire so If you want on this thread Give your opinion on what a vampire should have and don't have, things I would throw away is being weakened by sunlight and having to kill a person to gain life (just take a bit, not all and if you do the person has been reborn into unlife).

So what do you think?

In the True Blood series the vampires cannot eat or drink food as a human would, all they can have is blood or True Blood.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404144/3449547.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404144/3449547.page GMT Would you like to be a vampire (NOT a twilight one)... http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404144/3449554.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404144/3449554.page GMT Would you like to be a vampire (NOT a twilight one)...

Dracula was merely weakened by sunlight. Nosferatu was destroyed by it.

Sometimes vampires die if they don't drink blood. Sometimes it just makes them weak.

Sometimes a vampire's victims die if they are bitten. Sometimes they go on as if nothing happened. Sometimes they become vampires.

Sometimes vampires have super human strength, hypnotic vision, the ability to turn into bats, cats, wolves, or mist. Sometimes they have some combination of, all of, or none of the above.

Other than that, they seem to be pretty flexible, which is why a discussion of vampires needs to establish rules or use an established setting.

Wooden stakes? Kill sometimes, merely incapacitate others. Garlic? Depends. Silver? Depends. Running water? Depends. Ability to enter homes uninvited? Depends.

This is why I avoid like the plague any sort of freeform role play setting in which someone wishes to play a vampire; they generally pick and choose the best common abilities and leave out the weaknesses.

TL;DR: Any "serious" (and I use the term very, very loosely) discussion of vampires is pointless without ground rules laid out at the beginning.

EDIT: Sorry for the rant; it's not so much that I love vampires moreso than the fact that a lot of people who love vampires get really uppity that all vampires follow the same rules. I remember being berated in some game a long time ago for assuming that those bitten by vampires become vampires automatically. It was pretty ridiculous.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404144/3449818.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404144/3449818.page GMT Would you like to be a vampire (NOT a twilight one)... http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404144/3449828.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404144/3449828.page GMT Would you like to be a vampire (NOT a twilight one)...
I guess I'd want to be Dracula, though he had an aversion to garlic and I love me some garlic. Still, as long as I have a steady supply of blood and am not in direct sunlight, I think superhuman strength and speed, nigh-invulnerability, the ability to create thralls devoted to me, and the ability to transform into a wolf or bat or mist would be awesome. And in sunlight, well... I'm no better or worse than an ordinary person.

Also, being staked doesn't kill me. However, being decapitated does, and if I'm staked, I'm probably not going to be able to defend myself from the decapitation that is sure to follow.


I also extrapolate from the novel that without blood, I wouldn't die, but I would become a weak and decrepit old man; I cite Dracula's appearance at the beginning of the novel and how as it goes on he starts to look younger and healthier.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404144/3449852.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404144/3449852.page GMT Would you like to be a vampire (NOT a twilight one)... http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404144/3449853.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404144/3449853.page GMT Would you like to be a vampire (NOT a twilight one)... ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404144/3449868.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404144/3449868.page GMT Re:Would you like to be a vampire (NOT a twilight one)...

And probably team up with anyone that wants to be blade and try and kick alot of ass but then i will probably get sick of the game and retire to Australia living in the city where its probably safer to live a place that has windows that are made of fiber glass.

Then my swimming pool is holy water. And then everything else is protective against vampires. Should be fun. Anyway I will probably hunt all of you down if you turn into vampires.

Immortatility is a curse not an advantage. Never dieing is something really bad. It might be great at first but after a few hundred years it gets tiresome.

Then I come along and give you the benefit of the doubt of chopping off your head because your a souless blood sucker.

I'd also make everyone a vampire ( that was the "curing" i mentioned) to rule ovr each planet how they wanted and after all this go back in time to now live on the other side of the world in peace and watch myself do it all again from a different perspective to if i had done wrongly, and if i found that i did i would kill former self and stop all this from happening with a paradox.

Nah, im to gutless as of yet to do that, i'd go back further and live with dinosaurs/robots because i can.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404144/3452571.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404144/3452571.page GMT Would you like to be a vampire (NOT a twilight one)...

Fear not, rumour control has it that the new owners of White Wolf (Eve game owning company?) has ordered the company to resurrect... (heh) the Old World of Darkness. Especially as they are making an MMO and didn't want it to be based off the bland gak from Requiem.

I was about to mention this, but you beat me to it.



He has all their strengths, and none of their weaknesses, and his only weakness (vulnerability to racism) is easily countered by being vampire who knows kung-fu.


Yeah he was handy in a fight, but he got defeated by the eternal enemy that can best any man.

The fething tax man! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404144/3452859.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404144/3452859.page GMT Would you like to be a vampire (NOT a twilight one)...

Yeah, y'know what? I actually went and checked out what was happening with WW after posting in this thread. The difference between their forums and those of tabletop wargamers was hilarious. They're all so... reasonable!

'Wait, so they're replacing our current core book with an older version in which the background fluff is completely different? Doesn't sound so bad.'

Actually, they'll run parallel versions of the same game, each with it's own set of fluff.

'Dude, whatever, I SAID I'm alright with it! Jeez!



Contrast and compare to tabletop gamers:

GW: Hey guys! We're bringing out a groovy new line of excellently-modeled miniatures for you to buy from our incredibly friendly and helpful shops! Hugs!



HOW DARE YOU? YOU SHALL PAY FOR THIS WITH YOUR LIVES.

It might be a bit hard to be a vampire in this day and age.
If you lived in a castle at the small Transilvanian village and they believed you where a vampire,then it would be on the internet and Van Helsing would just get a bus to you and kill you.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404144/3453231.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/404144/3453231.page GMT
