Modifying the "rules" of the Vampire Challenge

-
I wasn't terribly happy with the list of topics I initially came up with for my remix of the Vampire Challenge. They seemed a tad corny in terms of Vampire, and were really showing the legacy of the D&D rules. Particularly all the parts about "enemies" and the like. So, I went back over the list and redid some of them. I'm quite a bit happier with these topics, but I'm still not 100% sure these are the "30 coolest things to talk about when talking about Vampire."

The Complete Transylvania Chronicles Redux

Here is the list of all my posts for my series on the  Transylvania Chronicles . The experiment didn't really pan out the way I wanted, but it was still an enjoyable and enlightening read. Hopefully other Storytellers will find these posts to be of some interest If you're a player who might play these, please note that each of these posts is full of spoilers. They were written from the point of view of a potential storyteller, so please do not read these if you are planning to play. For everyone else, here they are. Get it here I started off with the read through of Transylvania by Night. This is still an excellent resource, if perhaps overly ambitious. I wish they had focused more on a smaller area, such as Transylvania itself. Instead, the book seeks to cover the entirety of Eastern Europe, with mixed results. I'd still recommend it for anyone interested in running a Dark Ages chronicle, no matter where you wish to set it. Introduction . Chapters
