Vampires should be humans in a pressure cooker, half power fantasy and half desperately trying to cover the fact you just went power fantasy on someone. Paranoid violent fucks ready to lash out on an instant over any perceived slight. Willing to throw everyone they can physically overpower out the window into the shit so that they can climb an inch higher on the vampire hierarchy, while screaming and threatening to shank anyone who comes close looking like they might be able to do the same to them. And occasionally burning down the whole building and running like hell.

Really vampirism is like a really shitty middle manager position except with more blood and less subtlety.

There needs to be 'curse' and 'suffering' to add to the pot of shit for you to be insane about, but I can't get into lying around like dead bumblebees saying woe is me and weeping tears of blood.

A good vampire game ideally has a climax where you've done unspeakable shit that you are now mentally cringing over because you are going to need to explain it to the local Prince, and you end up like this:
