Truly Terrifying Vampires
 |
The vampire - the quintessential horror of the night. Yet¸ all too often such fiends are downgraded to simple and forgetable monsters¸ often easily defeated. But not tonight. Tonight¸ you will learn who a vampire really is¸ and just how terrifying they can be... Quite simply¸ typical vampires are laughable lightweights. They're a dime-a-dozen¸ chiché¸ and severely troped. Today¸ they're just not scary¸ and they're no longer seen as the truly terrifying monsters they once were. With vampires having been watered down so heavily¸ how can any game master hope to give their players a morally interesting and frightening challenge? By going back to what made them scary in the first place. In Truly Terrifying Vampires ¸ you'll see the difference between boring vampires of today and the vampires of past (who truly instilled fear in others). Through options and tables¸ you'll be able to build your vampire into a monster that your players will both always fear and never forget. There are a few sample vampire builds (with character backgrounds)¸ and you'll also find several horror adventure hooks to inspire your sessions. As an ANY RPG product¸ the concepts in this book can be applied to any game system. Free Mini-Adventure! Being released in tandem with Truly Terrifying Vampires is a free 16-page mini-adventure¸ Thornroot Hill. Look for it here¸ on DriveThruRPG.
