People often shit themselves when they die… Do vampires when they get turned from alive to undead?? This is important lore to consider

The interesting thing is I could make the argument that the magic virus variant is the same as Anne Rice’s.
I remember reading a fever dream of a book when I was a teenager called Vampire Virus- I feel like I recall that book addressing voiding the digestive tract as well. It’s certainly addressed in some places…
It’s the kind of theory that makes me want to write again.
Well, Anne Rice’s vamps were not viral at all. They were inhabited by a spirit.
My symbiotic vampires were built to allow for a wide range of vampire powers. Anything from old school Dracula to Lestat, to things like the red and white court of the Dresden files. The symbiote was a way (originally) to let my players have any kind of vampire they wanted without having to find a new explanation each time.
It turned into more than that over time though.
I’m with you on remembering some other mentions if it though. Can’t really pin down where, but there’s that niggling little itch in memory that says I’ve read it.
Shit, though. Write! Doesn’t have to be for anything but the fun of it.
