[QUOTE="Harlock, post: 881636, member: 4545"] The Virgin in White room (lots of pretty young ladies in diaphanous white gowns) The Used kitchen (includes crazy straws with dried flaky blood inside them) The Coffin Room (be interesting, include a King Size or Double Coffin, even vampires need lovin') The enormous walk-in closet (vampires have all those trendy goth clothes from Hot Topics {bleh!}) The media room (stacks of old tomes on religion, history, and how to pick up virginal young ladies in diaphanous white gowns) Ditch the torture chamber. Vampires have no need to torture, they seduce. Might change this into a cozy more normal type of love nest, sans coffin. More seriously, think about your vampire. Is s/he an older one that's been at this quite a while? Did s/he buy this house used or have it custom built by an ensorcelled victim? If it's an older house with a younger more newish vampire it could have all the normal amenities of a manor type house. If it's an older vampire a lot of this stuff could be in disrepair or completely overhauled to fit a vampires needs. Vampires do not need to torture, they rely on charm and enchantment and mind control to get what they want. Fear does not help that. It would need to be a place to put people at ease. To feel like they are in the presence of a gracious host who is both meek yet charismatic at the same time. Comfortable furniture, lived-in but clean looking rooms, faint smells of fresh baked bread or sweets wafting in from the kitchen area. The kind of place you'd never want to leave. And if you're the vampire, hopefully the party never will. You could include a darker seedier side to the place as well behind secret doors. Have a wine cellar that magically stores blood in vintage bottles or some tragic silliness like that. If you feel you're in a rut, maybe try looking into Toolbox from AEG. It's a great book loaded with tables you can roll randomly on or simply flip to the room description tables for inspiration. [/QUOTE]
