1. Methuselah rules. 900+ years is close enough to forever.

[EYESORE 9001]

2. I can't go the vampire route

I have a genetic trait where I accumulate too much iron in the form of hemoglobin. Drinking blood would really louse up my numbers. I guess that doesn’t matter to an immortal. Still, not a fan of the bloodsucking. Besides, I’m more of a day person.

3. Which vampire rules?

Bram Stoker? Charlaine Harris? Stephenie Meyer? Marv Wolfman? Anne Rice? Sheridan Le Fanu?

[ProudMNDemocrat]

5. Ann Rice.

Her Vampires have more human attributes than humans do.

[Solly Mack]

8. I'll have to think about it some more.

Rather be able to pick and choose but will try to limit myself to one version.

[malthaussen]

16. White Wolf Publishing. n/t

[Solly Mack]

18. OK. Humanity it is.

[malthaussen]

19. A YT series recommendation:

LA By Night,, by Geek and Sundry and Worlds of Darkness. A five-year series where voice actors sat around and played VtM 5the rules with Storyteller Jason Carl. If watching people play a TTRPG for three hours once a week is your cup of blood.

20. Actually sounds good.

[malthaussen]

22. There are a number of video TTRPG series on YT...

... the best for D&D is probably the several incarnations of Critical Role, which started the whole genre. Good, talented voice actors who have appeared in many video games (and sometimes on TV and in movies, like Ashley Johnson), who are brilliant in the role-play aspects and the improv, but almost always pretty bad at the actual game mechanics. D&D dungeonmaster Matt Mercer is fair notorious, he even did a one-off D&D session with Stephen Colbert.

26. I haven't played D&D in decades. Got into war games for a bit and still w/ Magic the Gathering.

My better half is the RPG Gamer more so than I am.

[crickets]

27. Critical Role is a blast! nt

[ProudMNDemocrat]

4. Vampire for me.

Must have read too many novels to satisfy my love affair with them since 1965.

I would take out those with evil in their hearts and minds.

[Unwind Your Mind]

10. Rogues

Have you read Jane Yellowrock? She’s my favorite

[ProudMNDemocrat]

11. I will have to check them out.

I have a B&N across the street from me.

[Unwind Your Mind]

12. The author is Faith Hunter nt

[Trueblue1968]

15. I WOULD BITE DONALD RUMP

[sanatanadharma]

6. Cautionary tale of mortal desires and rewards

He thought himself immortal.
He could not be killed by man or beast or by any weapon.
He could not be killed in daylight nor at night.
He could not be killed on land nor in the sky; not inside nor outside.
He learned otherwise one twilight at the threshold on the lap of Narasimha, when he was disemboweled by the claws of a half-lion/half-man.

[MiHale]

7. Vampire rules from "What We Do in the Shadows".

[AltairIV]

9. This is an easy choice

As a Vampire, and being a member of the "undead", I would never have to worry about the zombie apocalypse.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

13. Just LOVE the Originals.

Klaus is impetuous. Elijah is the Diplomatic of the Vampire brothers.

[Codifer]

14. I think

I would prefer Lazarus Long rules. Plus I could still be redheaded.

[malthaussen]

17. +1

Or any of Roger Zelazny's immortals. Gut had a fixation on immortals.

-- Mal

[FSogol]

23. How about Nathan Brazil from Jack Chalker's Well World books?

That would be my choice.

[malthaussen]

25. I wouldn't have wanted to spend decades (centuries?) transformed into a beast...

... like he was in one of them.

-- Mal

[Floyd R. Turbo]

21. Rules? I don't need no stinking rules!

[Laffy Kat]

24. I'm a night person, so....

I vant to suck your blood.
