Giglamesh can't be Jesus. He hates both garlic and cheese, and only the most wretched spawn of Hell could be capable of that.

Happy: I finally get to exercise my civic right and duty to take part in the judicial system! As of today, I'm a juror!

[Culise]

Load up Nobunaga's Ambition (the release of which is itself a big happy) after finishing what needed to be done, explore the main menu options.

...what?
...what.

The idea of Oda Nyobunaga amuses me immensely.

[Sirus]

I would have gone with Nyabunaga personally, but yours is good too

Clearly Jesus' resurrection was his emergence as a vampire.

[ChairmanPoo]

I used to think Deadnaut was crap, but after going a bit indeep into it, I'm finding it's a quite good game, sophisticated too.

"He died to suck your blood!"

[Akura]

He died for you sins.

To purify your blood.

To return one day... very thirsty.


Dirty blood doesn't taste that great.

[Frumple]

... y'know, given the whole occasional spiel about vampires needing to feed the vampire's blood to their victims to cause a conversion, uh. Transubstantiation suddenly comes under an entirely different light.

Also now I'm wondering how feasible a scam that would be to run in some vampire flavored RPG. Trick the consecrated wine into functioning metaphysically/magically as the master vampire's blood, maybe manage to weave exsanguination into a particular sect's funerary rights if it's necessary for the conversion... country/world wide vampire production factory, right there. Probably even built in "genuine" miracles via vampire abilities, too.

S'actually something that hit me earlier today, reading something elsewhere on the 'net. It's kinda' odd that there's not more casters plying the faith circuit in modern-day magic series. Considering it's already a (many) multi-million dollar fraud market just with plain ol' con-men (to say nothing of the resources circulating normally), it'd be incredibly fertile ground for someone with supernatural abilities to exploit for... whatever, really. Room and board if nothing else.

[GiglameshDespair]

I suppose it'd depend. If vampires were a common thing ala V:tM there's also the fact there's a lot of vested interest in not revealing vampire powers and stuff. A popular faith healer making the circuit, displaying oddly vampiric powers, might draw unfriendly eyes.

[Graknorke]

I never did understand vampires' fear of being revealed. Chances are the people who already know and like you aren't going to hate you just because of an infectious superpower, and anyone who does hate you enough to try and kill you would lose in a fight.

An individual disposed to kill a vampire is a minor threat, a world-power that decides to root out and destroy vampires is a unparalleled threat.

[GiglameshDespair]

There's a lot more humans than vampires, and vampires can't fight during the day. Humans may not like being used as cattle for monsters.

Or we could treat hemovorism as a necessary evil and start up blood banks.  Dur.

[Akura]

According to some of the loading screens during Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines, humanity became aware of Kindred and nearly drove them to extinction in the Middle Ages(using pitchforks and, more importantly, torches). In VtM:B, humans still outnumber Kindred by about 60,000:1(I think that was the ratio), and have access to automatic weapons with incendiary ammunition - all vampires do take only 50% damage from normal bullets and automatically convert to blunt damage(easiest to defend against), but I would think IN bullets don't entirely have that penalty.

A world power that doesn't want to keep supersoldiers around? bruh u trippin?
And besides that vampires are still people. It's not as though it's suddenly okay to start genociding them because they have a maybe-but-not-really-genetic disorder.
