Title: Non-DF vampires in a DF world
Post by: eldrwyrm on January 01, 2011, 05:25:50 AM
So, I am toying with the idea of importing another series into the DF game.  In particular, Kitty the Werewolf.  Kitty and her pack are no problem, the issue I'm running into is the vampires.  My initial thought is to just treat them all as Red Courts.  Thoughts, ideas?

Black Court ones might be a better crossover.  Then again, it's a while since I read Kitty.

From what I remember of Word of Jim, there are a total of 7 Vampire Courts: Whites, Reds, Blacks, Jades, and an unnamed 3. You could easily make that kind of vampire into a Blue or Gray or Brown Court or somesuch.

Where were the unnamed 3 mentioned?

I'm not exactly sure, but I remember it from somewhere. Besides, 7 just seems like a better number then 4. More torture for Harry, more interesting baddies to fight, and 7 is a sorta magicky number.

That was most definitely not said by Mr. Butcher and goes against several things we know he has said. That is simply a fan theory. You can find a compilation of all of the Words of Jim in the spoiler section.

Where has what I said gone against what he said? I've looked through Serack's WoJ compilation. It is great, but by no means complete.

Did you read the vampire section? If so read it again. If you can't see how Jim discussing how he made only three vampire courts (with the Jade adamantly not being involved) goes against your fan rumors then you need glasses.

Jim apparently made the statement about seven Courts at ConDFW.

I am not familiar with this particular type of vampire, but it probably doesn't matter.  You have some kind of vampire that you want in your game.  Do you want to replace one of the existing Courts with this type of vamp?  Like, say the Red Court are all Kitty-vamps and leave it at that?  Do you want them alongside the existing 3 Dresden Courts?  If they're not organized, if they're just roving bands of vamps like Lost Boys or the Supernatural vamps, then I would say stick them in the game and have at it.  No need to codify them.  If they are organized, then yeah, you probably want some sort of recognition factor for them, some faction name at least.

Ah, well sorry for doubting you, MijRai. Your info just seemed extraordinary, was unsourced, and seemed to go against WoJ but I guess it didn't. Thank you, Chiroptera.

somebody was on here a while ago trying to do a sunnydale- buffyverse mashup type game. I believe they determined the court by the individual characters.
