[QUOTE="thormagni, post: 2127338, member: 13637"] And just to clarify a little bit more on the Vampire setting. Pretty much every sort of vampire literary tradition is represented in Vampire. As OG was saying, there are different clans in the Vampire world and two large "famlies." The European style vampires are part of the Camarilla, which include several Vampire clans such as Nosferatu, Ventrue (the aristocrats), the crazy-ass Malkavians, the stylish, artistic Toreadors (Anne Rice), the Tremere (think Strahd from Ravenloft mixing vampirism with sorcery.) The vampires of the Camarilla generally try to maintain the Masquerade. The other major "family" is the Sabbat and they are much closer to "revel in our power" sort of vampirism Vince was talking about. Especially the Lasombra clan. It has been my limited experience that the Vampire goth game stereotype comes from many (most?) players playing characters from the Camarilla family, especially the black trenchcoat, mopey types of vamps like the Toreadors. But you wouldn't HAVE to play this type of character. It is just very common. [/QUOTE]
