Designing the Vampire Cafe: Nearly to the Point of Nausea

Posted on May 16, 2018 by Charles Yallowitz

One thing that seems to come up a lot in vampire stories is what one could consider a Vampire Bar or Cafe.  It’s a watering hole for these monsters where they can mingle and have a meal without hunting.  Some … Continue reading →

Legends of Windemere: The Game and the Series

Posted on May 15, 2018 by Charles Yallowitz

So, Victoria Zigler asked two questions: Is that bit in your bio about the fear of alligators true? I’m twitchy around alligators, sharks, and crocodiles.  Something about aquatic predators in general make me nervous, which might stem from stumbling onto … Continue reading →

This post is coming right after I had a strange lucid dream about not finishing the second War of Nytefall book even though I was going to start the third.  No idea where that came from since I finished editing Lost on … Continue reading →

The Lair of Gregorio Roman

Posted on April 27, 2018 by Charles Yallowitz

While Nyte had some detailed description and the Scrumptious Siren had a lot, there wasn’t much for Gregorio’s lair.  Home to the ancient gnomish vampire, I made it very vague beyond there being tables and experiments everywhere.  I added a … Continue reading →

Chastity Sullivan: Hostess of the Scrumptious Siren

The City of Nyte: Greatest of the Vampire Cities?

Posted on April 23, 2018 by Charles Yallowitz

When creating War of Nytefall, I didn’t really think about the cities that would be vampire only.  In fact, I only considered that they would have castles, lairs, and live within the pre-existing mortal society.  That was kind of lazy of … Continue reading →
