One of the things I really liked about RQ Vampires, long before I
liked Glorantha particularly, was the way they managed to have a
sensible "gloranthan" reason for fitting "Real World" stereotypes
(Not crossing running water, needing Grave Soil, fearing Crosses etc
etc).
The one thing I liked about WW's Vampire:The thingamy was the way
they managed to fit all the different styles of vampire in under a
single system.
So I definitely like the sound of plenty of new vampire material if
it manages to continie this trend...
