This is relevant to my interests - thanks! I'll have to give it a spin, and provide more substantive praise/feedback when I do.

I think David Hill's piece on his new game's vampires is more reflective of the modern vampire game-as-played than prescriptive. The sating of the primal blood-thirst has always been the Most Brutal Handwave In All Of Gaming, and treating it as an ambient feature of your territory ownership is a better way to ground it in narrative and game mechanical constructs than hogging the spotlight for an elongated midnight snack run.

If I were writing a vampire game from scratch I'd ditch the aristocratic element entirely (I'd have other plans for literally representing the evils of capitalism, mind) and go for the third option -- vampires as scavengers. Make it more corpse-eating than blood-sucking, all about these abject creatures trying to survive on something society throws away but puts too much symbolic importance on to be okay with cannibalism. Instead of victimizers, you have creatures desperate to secure steady access to medical waste, and only even contemplating murder when they have no other way of getting bodies and finding violence as horrifying and unnatural as it is for regular people. Instead of the horror being "oh woe is me I'm a monster with superpowers," the horror is that everything you do just to survive is repulsive, and you're not really even hurting anyone until deprivation forces you into it.

Of course I probably just described off-brand Promethean more than anything else. If I were going to use David Hill's vampires, they'd have to be antagonists. And that mostly only so I could use the title Stake Your Landlord.

Silhouette posted:So, less Vampire: The Subtitling and more Ghoul: The Hunger? Yup. You could do a whole cycle of outsider / abject monsters, even. Witches a la The VVitch, where you've sold your soul to Satan because survival and/or patriarchy left you no other real option. Frankenstein's monster doesn't need much in the way of changes. Werewolves could do a thing where the first change causes you to lose control completely and the rest of their narrative is about reclaiming your life while being hunted by whoever their involuntary rampage hurt. Basically exploring monstrosity as a consequence of denial and mistreatment, neither justifying it nor demonizing it. Tuxedo Catfish fucked around with this message at 20:55 on Feb 27, 2017 |

An interesting idea to go with that - vampires incapable of non-consentual feeding on conscious people. If you need a justification the steroids released during high-stress situations encourage clotting, so any vampire that tries that sort of thing is going to risk giving themselves a stroke or losing a limb.

If I was writing a vampire game from scratch it'd probably draw heavily from Tim Powers's The Stress of Her Regard and also not be playable by human beings.

Vampires in Blindsight are pretty different from the RPG-standard and are literally super-autists, though, so you'd probably have to change that or cut it out.

Blindsight would be an interesting setting to play in, but Blindsight-Vampires wouldn't really be playable, since they lack consciousness.
