Great episode! If you aren’t already listening to it – the Monster Man podcast had a special episode on ‘Other Vampire’ – https://monsterman.libsyn.com/special-episode-other-vampires – which had some of the same ideas you did and may be worth a listen (along with the whole podcast). Looking at the folklore of vampries outside of Dracula, mixing together some of the ‘features’ of vampires, etc. Anyway, great episode!
Thanks for the kind words and the recommendation Erik!
Just so your listeners are aware:
The Gong Farmer’s Almanac 2017 Vol 7 contains both The Vampire, Returned by Terra Frank and Thirteen Brides of Blood by myself, which is a vampire funnel.
In The Gong Farmer’s Almanac Vol 1, from way back in 2015, Terra Frank’s Gold & Glory from Beyond the Grave contains a vampire class.
Snow White in Creeping Beauties of the Wood is, although no explicit, a vampire.
Oh, and both “L is also for Lycanthrope” and “V is for Vampire” appear in The Monster Alphabet, which is also a great resource for DCC judges.
(Oh, and Julian, the very first Conan story was The Phoenix on the Sword, where only because his sword is enchanted with a magical sign, he is able to slay a demon. So, Conan really did have his “Oh shit, I don’t have my +2 sword!” moment in his first story.)
Judge Daniel J’s encyclopedic knowledge (and memory) FTW!! DId Conan’s sword have pluses though?!?!
Hey Julian. Although it is not explicit in the story, I believe that the phoenix marked on the sword indicated that it was +3. lol.
