Creating new variants on classic monsters is one of my secret joys. When the players realize this vampire or that bunch of spider hosts are different, that is when I know I have them worried. The unknown is frightening and adds new tension to game with jaded players.
Here are my alternate vampire articles to date:
- The Circle: a covenant, a ghoul family and an entirely new breed of vampire all rolled up in one. Watch out! These blood suckers don't fear the sun.
- Allies: sometimes all that is needed to spruce up a foe is an unexpected friend.
- Antediluvian: an ancient vampire that combined the worst aspects of vampires and spirits.
- Malpheans: some vampires get infested as mold and fungi infiltrate their systems. The results are not pretty. Just don't burn them.
- Morbus Contagion: when a bloodline ceases to be just a curse and becomes a plague.
- Wyrm Sickness: even old vampires can change..or at least mutate.
- Sandmen: when Mnemovores, or memory eating vampires, devour a piece of reality what do they become?
- Supernal Blood Addiction: what happens when Vampires come to enjoy the taste of Mages a bit too much?
- Just one vision of vampires
