Thats how i love my T2k-religions,, The origins of your ideas have just the right vibe to it.

You do recall a RL cult that was around in '97? The Heaven's Gate cult that committed mass suicide in April of that year.....though one might have a few followers/wannabes lingering on after the nuclear exchange, and spreading the view that those who did commit suicide are on the UFO that the cult said was trailing the Hale-Bopp Comet, and will return to bring peace and enlightenment to a war-ravaged Earth.

I remember them, I was thinking about it the other day. IIRC, I remember Hale-Bopp and the alleged UFO was a lot of talk on Art Bell's "Coast to Coast AM" at that time.

Ah, yes. I remember that now. IIRC, his piece was quite good. I didn't think of it when I was whipping up the Circle of Blood blurb. Any similarities between my bit and Rainbow's material were therefore completely unintentional. It'd be great if he'd add his piece to this thread. I'll ask him.

Just came across this thread...the link for the Wampir is here

There was a suggestion at the time that if you don't want to introduce the supernatural into your T2K campaign you could have her be an ordinary woman who thinks she is a vampire, possibly as a result of mental trauma caused by the War.

Thanks, Rainbow.
