Hi Dark, Oh, indeed. Well, as always time is a key factor, but I've been turning the idea over in my mind for the last couple of months. One thing I do know for sure I don't want to use any popular characters such as Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster, and things like that simply because they've been over commercialized and are far too well known. I want something more original with my own unique characters who would make the game more interesting in my book.
It is for that reason I've been spending quite a bit of time thinking of when and where this story should take place. Obviously, vampire myths began in eastern Europe in places like Bavaria, Romania, Hungry, etc and unfortunately many writers continue going back to that same location. At the same time America seems too new, wrong context for ancient vampires and such, and outside of Anne Rice's Vampire Saga and Stephen King's Salem's Lot series it just isn't the kind of setting I'm looking for. In the end I think I'm going to create a fictional town in some unspecified country that is very old with castles, an ancient cathedral, a weedy over grown churchyard or two, and so on. Basically, start from scratch and set the mood I want without committing to any specific time and place in the real world. Cheers!
