Honestly, I think vampires would have plenty of volunteers nowadays.
Really depends on the rules vampires exist under.
I'm guessing some people wouldn't care and just want in, but there are quite a few vampire mythologies that would be a really awful existence.
Fr. In most interpretations vampires are undead, beings that lose all the joy of living, no warmth, no taste except for blood, inability to have kids or sex, being weak to the sun/running water/garlic/holy ground, being unable to enter any residence without being invited, having to sleep in coffin with dirt from where you are born (which means you can't travel without bringing a whole ass coffin with you). Being a vampire would suck, now a daywalker tho....
All existence is awful, but if you were a vampire you would get to wear a neat cape
Ay, nobody's stopping you!
No capes!
You're not doing a good job of turning me away ಠ_ಠ
True.
Grounded vampire mythos is suspiciously similar to the symptoms of rabies.
If you get Form Of Mist, though, I'm in.
Walking on ceiling, though. If I can get that, I'd say yes, too.
If that's a symptom of rabies then Harper Lee undersold it.
It might be, but most rabies patients are probably too terrified of dying and water to try it out.
I highly recommend the show “What We Do in the Shadows.” It sort of covers this
My friend complains it's awful but watches with me anyway and laughs
I always say being awful does not equal being non-enjoyable. It seems your friend agrees.
That's a good friend
I love that show so much. Bat!
Finally a chance to clear my games and books backlog
