- Here goes...
- (1) What is the "average" B-P vampire? - The ancient Nosferatu? Brahm
- Stoker's Dracula? White Wolf's cheezy "13 varieties" fakelore
- vampires? Anne Rice's vamps?
- (1.5) What's this about "hardly ever" killing their victims? - There are
- _many_ vampire mythologies which _mandate_ that death follows
- vampiric association!!! Intercourse (meaning association) with
- vampires is almost invariably fatal!
- (2) There is no mandate that feeding creates ecstacy - that is a
- "modern" convention... Which brings me to this - I'm getting a
- little rabid because... well, let me just say that RPG's (role
- playing games) are not the end-all and be-all of mythology...
- There are sources of data which existed _before_ 1970 and were
- not created for the express purpose of making a buck.
