If the only worthy opponents and peers are other vampires, your game shifts that way and soon it seems the only NPCs you meet are vampires, even though you can see a whole city of normals outside of your penthouse window.The GM has to constantly stress that while the large VIP room in the club is full of vamps, the rest of the club is filled with humans. (Everyone may assume it, but remember GMs, if you don't say it - it doesn't exist!)Oddly enough, the same complaint doesn't pop up in superhero RPGs. Then again, a good supers GM will be reminding people about innocent bystanders and the consequences of collateral damage.Perhaps Vamp GMs are afraid to do this because the answer maybe, "Let's make those bystanders 'disappear.'"</blockquote>
