It's been a while but I've got a new post up, a session report of the first Sleepless Nights adventure. Spears, axes, teeth, arrows, spells, fangs, darkness penalties, a player character dog, and future shock in 2,500 BCE. https://diceandlives.wordpress.com/2...e-of-the-wolf/

In the spirit of HANS's fantastic shootout breakdowns, I decided to analyze a fight from my favorite movie, Conan the Barbarian. Check it out.

Re: Dice and Lives: Gurps Content Posts
First, I love your posts on Sleepless Nights, they make me want to run my own Vampire game using the stuff you have there (with some minor tweeks), but I have a question regarding Hibernation.

I don't know, man, I've got a 4-year-old and a 2-year-old and one or the other has woken me up every single night since 2012. If I could just sleep for 50 years I would. More seriously? I didn't specify this in the template, but in this campaign, sleeping for decades is something vampires just have an urge for. It's not that they get some kind of special benefit, it just feels good to them. It's also not worth any points, any more than random human instincts like having a sex drive or liking sweet flavors are. Of course, a human could have Lecherousness or Gluttony if a particular instinct is so strong it leads to trouble, and correspondingly a vampire character might have Compulsive Hibernating or something. I'll get into the matter some more when I post about vampire psychology. Stay tuned, same bat-time, same bat-channel! :D Of yeah, and I'm super happy to hear I've got a reader who wants to use some of my stuff in their own game. Let me know if you do!

Re: Dice and Lives: Gurps Content Posts
Long hibernation would seem to have survival benefits. The chance of people believing in vampires, and therefore instituting mandatory naked noonday parades, is directly related to the frequency of vampire activity. Vampires that wake up only when in danger of starvation, feed to the minimum necessary to sustain hibernation and then return to torpor for decades or centuries seems to be one of the more plausible bits of vampire lore.
