[UA] Predation

[Tim Bisaillon]

Actually, I am working on a series of adventures (pardon the pun) in that 
vein. My inspiration though, is using John Carpenter's Vampires... the PC's 
are a bunch of clued in magick using troope that's out to save the world 
from the deadly curse of vampirism.

I had a moment of sheer inspiration when a player of mine brought over some 
V:tM sourcebooks... and that the mere mention of "Blade" in a previous 
message, about the same time as Queen of The Damned advertisment was playing 
on tv at the time as I was reading said message... well, I can take a hint. 
:)

>I actually pitched a UA/V:tM crossover to Justin Achilli.  It would be two

>THE V:TM ADVENTURE:  A powerful ghoul* and his followers have kidnapped a

>drain him dry in order to transform themselves into vampires.  (It's
>doubtful whether this will work, but you never know.)  The local boss
>vampire sends the PCs down in a rescue attempt.
>
>The twist is that said ghoul (not being as crafty or "sane" as the typical
>vampire) has gotten the attention of a gang of would-be vampire hunters.
>They're clueless dingbats, apparently inspired by some stupid game called
>"Unknwon Armies".  So the PCs not only have to rescue the other vampire and
>ice the ghouls, they have to do it WITHOUT killing Scooby Doo and Shaggy OR
>revealing the true nature of what's going on.
>
>THE UA ADVENTURE: A guy who plays way too much "Vampire: the Masquerade"
>has become clued-in to the Invisible Clergy and has decided that, although
>vampires aren't real, they COULD be.  Someone just needs to Ascend as
>Caine, the first vampire.  So he and his followers have been trying to
>channel "the vampire" -- living nocturnally, shunning the sun and drinking
>only blood.  (Since he's got nutrient deficiencies that are making his gums
>shrink, he actually believes his teeth are growing.)  They've kidnapped a
>descendant of Vlad Tepes and plan to sacrifice him as their Ascension
>ritual.

>Justin didn't say "no," but it's not something WW would probably do.  So
>Atlas would need to get a license, and that's probably unlikely.  But I
>thought it was a cute idea.
>
>-G.
>
>*In V:tM, a "ghoul" is someone who drinks the blood of a vampire
>voluntarily in exchange for extended life.  Vampire blood is incredibly
>addictive and makes you all crazy, though.
