8V: STREAM

My main post is about streaming games. L.A. By Night among others have given me ideas, like the way Storyteller Jason Carl starts some sessions describing what happens during the day that vampires never get to see.

Kindred in the Vampire family of games can generally cross running water, as well as enter homes uninvited, and most of them can be seen in mirrors. But they can be staked, killed by beheading and fire, and burn in the sun.

Vampires killed by sunlight start with Nosferatu in 1922. The games also took the obviously monstrous Orlok and made him the basis for one of the clans, though it developed more along the lines of Erik in The Phantom Of The Opera and Vincent in the 1980s TV Beauty And The Beast with communities hidden underground. Both Clanbooks have chapter frontispieces with boating on underground waterways.

This is the Revised edition version. Homey.

And of course vampires care most about the bloodstream.

1.08: Drown

A pair of Nosferatu appear in the manager’s office, with a Nocturne VIP pass they say they found on a drowned body in the storm sewers.
