Some of them can actually turn into dirt, or wood. But actually he's right, in Vampire Hunter D there's a scene where he's got to bury himself in dirt and he really just covers himself up a bit in a hollowed out tree trunk. I think, its been a while since I saw that one.

ah, yoshitaka amano's work is unparalleled.

anyway, i guess the point is that yeah, a vampire-ocalypse is a moot point.

with zombies, it would be simple for me. i've been looking for something to swing my chen hanwei at...

after that, well, i'm good with improvising.

You mean in Bloodlust? The vampire hunter chick buries him to pay him back for binding her wounds earlier. But D isn't a vampire, he's a dhampir, and he isn't affected by light, but by heat. He buries himself to keep cool.

It'd be not-so-bad to be a vampire, 'cept for the whole having to kill people all the time part, as long as it was the sexy kind of vampire.

I can't remember the exact name for my type of vampire. I do know, however, that it's the type that can only feed on a certain demographic. My choice was teenage girls. I immediately maxed out my looks and charisma.

...god damn I lead a sad life.

Is this Vampire: The Masquerade Patrick?

Actually the sad thing is, he was playing Monopoly. With his first cousin. He probably doesn't want to get into it.

Honestly, is that really sadder than the more likely alternative?

A friend and I once bought a pack of jelly babies and a pack of gummy bears. We picked sides, equipped them with lego helmets/armour/weapons and then used a cluedo board and a set of dice to lead our gelatin armies to war.

Best game ever.

Yup, hacked off his head with a bowie knife.

That wouldn't work with every vampire though, oh no. Decapitation is normally the safest bet though. That's the traditional way to do it. Decapitation and/or burning.

And that way, if you accidentally attack someone that is innocent, you don't hurt them.

Oh wait...

I think I may have said this, but part of the problem is that there are so many vampire myths, and different stories have given them different superpowers and weaknesses, we would need to agree on one kind to theorize about.

The boss in this hella long dungeon I am playing in right now is a vampire. I heard whispers between the DM and someone else about how he is going to try and cast something and hold me hostage against my party, I think.

Fuckin' vampires.

Yeah it's VTM. Only RPG I've ever played in any respectable amount.

In D&D I've only ever engaged in open-air battles because we never had time to do anything else because nobody ever had time to play.

Boro_Bandito · « **Reply #864 on:** 23 Mar 2008, 16:28 »

Man, what's sad is I'm a wannabe World of Darkness player. a wannabe WoD player, I can't get anyone to play with me.

Nodaisho · « **Reply #865 on:** 23 Mar 2008, 16:37 »

Wow... Your sig seems awful apt, that is sad.

You could probably join a PbP game online. Or an IM-based game.

Boro_Bandito · « **Reply #866 on:** 23 Mar 2008, 22:58 »

I forget what I did to make him say that...

And god, the last thing I want to do is join another RP forum. Back in my senior year of high school I was invited to one with some lower classmen and.... harry potter *Shudder*

Plus I think an IM game would just be downright awkward. I prefer human contact, if i wanted to be on the internets I'd just continue to play World of Warcraft.

Have you seen a PbP WoD game? Look, I like White Wolf, I really do. But PbP games often devolve into overwrought circle jerks as it is. You don't want to play one with a game that has what amounts to a bloody angst meter unless you're seriously into that kinda thing.

LordNagash · « **Reply #868 on:** 24 Mar 2008, 02:21 »

You could find a virtual tabletop game. The biggest issue I have is all the rpers I know do not want to play VtM, and I have not met people who play that I could stand to play with.

Nodaisho · « **Reply #869 on:** 24 Mar 2008, 03:07 »

I have never played anything WoD-related, so I wouldn't know about it, I was just making a suggestion. I haven't had any of the stereotypical bad experiences with Rpers on PbP games, but then again, they could have been going on in the background without me paying attention, being oblivious has its uses.

KharBevNor · « **Reply #870 on:** 24 Mar 2008, 07:28 »

Try playing Exalted. It's more fun than World of Darkness for a start, given that it's essentially based on Ninja Scrolls.

Once in Exalted I was hunting these pirates, and they laid an ambush for me, but I found out about it my shagging the inn-keepers daughter and pumping* her for info. So first thing the pirates know is their ship is on fire, then they see me running across the top of the fucking sea firing endless magical arrows made of fire at them. Then they all died.

*hurr

Boro_Bandito · « **Reply #871 on:** 24 Mar 2008, 11:15 »

Well I wouldn't play VtM anymore, being as its no longer in print, I've got a bunch of the new WoD series books.

Also, Exalted Second Edition just came out. If I could find somebody to play that with, I probably would. Though I'm not really much of a fan of anime inspired superhero RPGs...

Patrick · « **Reply #872 on:** 24 Mar 2008, 18:17 »

VtM's out of print? How sad, that's the only one I really liked, you don't have to concentrate so hard on medieval-esque surroundings, you can do it modern-day and concentrate on mainly gameplay. Besides, being a vampire is badass.

Boro_Bandito · « **Reply #873 on:** 24 Mar 2008, 19:24 »

Well now they've released the New World of Darkness, which is more or less like Second Edition. So far they've got the corebook, and then more or less the updated other books. Vampire: The Requiem, Werewolf: The Forsaken, Mage: The Awakening, Promethean: The Created, and Changeling: The Lost. Right now they're working on Hunter: The Vigil and they've got as always a ton of supplement books in edition to the core books.

KharBevNor · « **Reply #874 on:** 24 Mar 2008, 21:57 »

Man, that's a gouge.

Who's betting White Wolf time their editions by the time it takes a dead-eyed girl who posts on the internet under the alias 'NyghtsRequiem' to buy all 35 volumes or however many there were of sourcebooks for the old World of Darkness.

There were looooots of fucking sourcebooks.

Boro_Bandito · « **Reply #875 on:** 24 Mar 2008, 22:10 »

and there are loooooots more for the new one already, even without things like Wraith and Demon and shit like that. There's gotta be 50 out already. but really, Can you blame White Wolf? Everyone wants to make money, and OWoD has been out for a long time, and there are a lot of fundamental changes to the NWoD to make it a completely different game series, its not just recycled trash. They've replaced a lot of the canon, taken out all metaplot and focused on being more of a toolset for Storytellers to make their own. The game is more focused towards smaller storyarcs that aren't quite as world spread, and I like the 5x5 splat(ex. 5 vampire clans/5 vampire covenants) they use for the three core supernaturals a lot more than what I've read and seen of the OWoD. There's no Apocalypses or impending Ascensions or anything like that. When they switched over to the new book they released more or less these endgame stories for the OWoD books, which ended the metaplot over the course of a couple years, so its not like they just left everyone high and dry with new rules.

A lot of people still play OWoD and you can still find the books in places like Drivethru RPG, and anyway, NWoD has Promethean now, which I really sorta want to play (Think Frankenstein's monster, and other similar creatures created by man in various myths)

Boro_Bandito · « **Reply #877 on:** 25 Mar 2008, 08:40 »

Well...Yeah, they are. But they aren't emo without an explanation. Each one is explained ad nauseum within each book.

Okay, Maybe the vampire one is still a bit angsty emo

Alex C · « **Reply #878 on:** 25 Mar 2008, 09:21 »

Yeah, my old group once played a short arc designed as a parody of WoD games set in the Shadowrun universe (this worked out out rather well, the settings and systems have a history). We called the campaign "Cyberzombie: The Existentialling." Best. Campaign. Ever.

Patrick · « **Reply #879 on:** 25 Mar 2008, 11:49 »

Hey Vampires have a right to be emo okay they can NEVER FIND LOVE.

Nodaisho · « **Reply #881 on:** 25 Mar 2008, 21:18 »

Yeah, just said lovers tend to get freaked out once they find out that the person really was a vampire. One night stands with no chance of dying from STDs works though.

Dude, you seduce them, you wine them, you dine them, then you turn them into a vampire, keep them as your lover cum indentured magical sex slave for a few decades, then set up a cunning plot to have them destroyed by your own worst enemy when you tire of them.

You are not thinking like a proper vampire.

Listen you, I have 'eat food' as one of my virtues. Unfortunately I also have 'hard of hearing' as one of my flaws. But hey, at least my flaws are accurate for real life.

Boro_Bandito · « **Reply #889 on:** 26 Mar 2008, 15:53 »

wait what? Maybe its because I never read the old WoD, but nowadays virtues and vices are based on the seven heavenly virtues and the seven deadly sins... Or are you guys just parodying it now?

If the zombies do turn out to be supernatural, then another possible plan presents itself:

Step 1: Find a vampire.
Step 2: Induve vampire to turn you into a vampire.
Step 3: Find a trenchcoat, a badass sword and some significant firepower.
Step 4: Kill everything.

I may have been watching too much Hellsing recently. And by recently I mean over the last five years. But seriously, just get vampirised then flip the fuck out.

Two plans:
1. Find Ricky and get him to turn me into a vampire. Or..
2. Go to Green Top to get some guns, and then go to my secret island near Atikokan, Ontario.
