[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 7884477, member: 1"] The new BBC mini-series is fantastic, and it makes me want to play a game where vampires are particularly horrific. Not tragic romantic figures like Strahd, or American high-school dating vampires, but really horrible evil vampires, pure remorseless sociopathic evil. A mix of investigation and survival horror. The players play vampire hunters or victims, a vampire is really dangerous, and PCs may well die. Dracula is the big bad who the PCs probably won’t go up against, but around the world there are other vampires. Period piece, gaslight, etc. [LIST] [*]infiltrating a vampire’s castle [*]survival horror on a ship like the Demeter as the vampire picks them off one by one [*]solving a spate of killings in Victorian London [/LIST] Right now I feel like reskinning the new Alien RPG could work, especially with its focus on the stress mechanic. I’d need to design vampires in place of the aliens, but they could fill much the same role. A PC vs a vampire should be suicidal; you're not supposed to fight them like that. Any other suggestions?
