This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

A bunch of GM advice I've read suggests keeping a list of "true things" about the setting to give it a consistent feel and let you make things interesting by contradicting them. Please help me out! Here's what I have so far:
  • Vampires are by nature solitary, territorial predators - working together is a challenge and hunting is always an issue
  • Life is very dangerous and brutal - Vampires though "immortal" meet the final death frequently
  • Elder (and perhaps beyond) elders manipulate events behind the scenes
  • Managing the beast is an omnipresent, fundamental challenge for vampires

Arrows make the battlefield very scary for vampires.
Just make your fuckin\' guy and roll the dice, you pricks. Focus on what\'s interesting, not what gives you the biggest randomly generated virtual penis.  -- J Arcane
 
You know, people keep comparing non-TSR D&D to deck-building in Magic: the Gathering. But maybe it\'s more like Katamari Damacy. You keep sticking shit on your characters until they are big enough to be a star.

  • Vampires are the world's best golfers. The tragedy is, no one will ever know.
  • Vampires prefer linen to cotton.
  • If a vampire drinks the blood of a sheep, they'll grow two extra ears.
  • Monkeys aren't afraid of vampires.
  • Vampires hear well enough to use echolocation like bats, but they cant scream at a high enough pitch.
  • A vampire has to bite 100 people before they're awarded a Dracula medal.

Killing victims isn't advised. Lower populations and smaller towns and cities means that people going missing gets noticed faster. Murderous vampires are often mobile and even more secretive than most. Many vampire cultivate Herds or Disciplines that allow them to cover their tracks more effectively when feeding.
Remember when Illinois Nazis where a joke in the Blue Brothers movie?

Democracy, meh? (538)

 "The salient fact of American politics is that there are fifty to seventy million voters each of whom will volunteer to live, with his family, in a cardboard box under an overpass, and cook sparrows on an old curtain rod, if someone would only guarantee that the black, gay, Hispanic, liberal, whatever, in the next box over doesn't even have a curtain rod, or a sparrow to put on it."
