this seems like something that would get built in dwarf fortress

I mean, it's more humane than the mermaid farms...

An alternative solution

[–] [email protected] 26 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Not to be that guy but we went solar with our vampire engine at home a couple of years ago. Definitely recommend.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Yes, I think you can replace holy water with solar in some cases, right?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Can we skip the holy water part by using a silver piston?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 8 months ago

That would cancel out the effects of the blood and the piston wild never rise

[–] [email protected] 12 points 8 months ago (3 children)

That piston knock is gonna be a bich to figure out. Do you go on volume or mass?

Do the vampires need to fully reform or can you keep them in a perpetual slurry?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Oh my God. Okay, so I have to DM a campaign starting next month. I am not an experienced DM, and ive been trying to figure out what I want my world to be like.

I've just figured it out. It's gonna be a steam punk style world, but instead of being alternate Victorian era based on steam tech, it's gonna be alternate Middle ages based on the vampire piston engine. Perpetual slurry sealed it for me. OMG, the outrage is gonna be real, and I love it!

Now, the question is, which of the deities/religions is gonna represent the Catholic Church (who is the main driving force behind the vampire slurry engine)...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

And if one breaks open, maybe horrific fused vampire abominations?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Yes! OMG, this is gonna be great!

Mass. Sunday Mass

Also if the ashes of multiple vampires get mixed up together you could open new frontiers in body horror.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago (4 children)

So where do we get unlimited blood?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Hospitals.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

from kosher butchers, duh

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

From the vampire, easy.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Do you really need to ask that?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Wouldn't it eventually fill up with blood and holy water
