Vampires.

[Chris]

So what do yo uthink about vampires/ vampire myths? I've always found the topic rather interesting. Not so much the: "ARRRRGGGHHH, I'LL BITE YOU" thing but more the deeper meaning behind the myths and stories. Many vampire stories are sad or tragic; they are often lonely, cold and very romantic. I've always been fascinated by the whole "Vampire myth" and although, I do not wish to become one, I do see the escape it could bring. So, any thoughts?

Have you ever played the White Wolf storytelling game system Vampire: The Masquerade?

I found it fascinating...

The concept of vampires is overromanticized, I think. I've seen far too many bad roleplays to really be able to derive any enjoyment of the concept. Some of the concepts are intriguing, and I do use vampires in my own writing, but I generally prefer to alter them and make them my own instead of using the traditional legends and the like.

Ninjas > Vampires > Pirates

Edit - RPing on Yahoo I come across way too many vampire characters. Maybe that's why the but concept of vampires is a bit boring to me. Although Hellsing has been able to keep my attention.

As far as being on subject, I've always been more of a fan of Sirens. Those are my favorite.

I agree, but at the same time, as you said, I don't fully reject the old ways and myths.
