[QUOTE="shilsen, post: 2987762, member: 198"] I personally wouldn't enjoy a campaign like that, as either DM or player, since it seems dependent on some serious railroading. It seems like you've decided beforehand that the PCs, whatever choices they make, will become bitten and turn into vampires. That, for me, is a huge no-no. I think I'd hate that even more as a DM, since what I much prefer is to set situations and events in motion, with little or no preplanned conclusions, and let the choices and actions of the PCs determine/affect the results. If I was running the above, I'd have them encounter the vampire and have a LOT of options in there, including peaceful interaction (few things confuse/worry PCs more than supposedly evil monsters who turn out to be fairly normal and nice). If the PCs fight it and get bitten and turn into vampire spawn, so be it. But don't assume that they will and force them to be. [/QUOTE]
