Vampire rules

Post by outpatient8 »

I was wondering if any rules exist regarding vampires and what books I could find them in. I don't see any in the DCC or MCC books that I own.

I believe that Vampires are one of the creatures that the game expects you to make on your own. And put either a special spin on them. Or make them completely normal based off of your information about vampires. They are such a common creature in fantasy TTRPGs there is plenty of inspiration out there.

Rules for Vampires?

http://dcctreasures.blogspot.ca/2017/10 ... vol-7.html

Snow White is a vampire in Creeping Beauties of the Wood.

Also, check out Transylvanian Adventures, or its first (currently only) adventure, The Winter Home. This is not vanilla DCC, but it is easily adapted to it.

I double-checked. Critters, Creatures, & Denizens also has rules for vampires.

Didn't one of the issues of Crawl have rules for PC vampires, too, or was that also the Gongfarmer's Almanac?

I checked the 2017 Master Zine Index (Black Blade/Taco Jon FTW!) and did not see Vampire listed under the Monster section. It's not a sure thing (the index is from last year's GFA so there might have been an addition), but it's a pretty good indicator it is not in any of the Zines covered therein*.

If you're not looking strictly for traditional vampires, there are at least two on my blog:
