I got a guy from the internet called Lord who was a VAMPIRE so i told him that me and my boyfriend would love to become a VAMPIRES so he asked me of my Name ,Country, Age ,State , address and in the next 3 days i got the blood sample through the DHL which me and my boyfriend took in the blood into our body and in the next 30 minutes we turned into a VAMPIRE so if you are interested in becoming a VAMPIRE. First: Vampires is not at all like in the movies or books, Sure. I understand. You are young; you have the whole world open to you. You can be anything that you choose if you apply yourself and try hard to work toward that goal. But being a vampire is not what it seems like. It’s a life full of good, and amazing things. We are as human as you are.. It’s not what you are that counts, but how you choose to be. Do you want a life full of interesting things? Do you want to have power and influence over others? To be charming and desirable? To have wealth, health, and longevity? contact the vampires creed today via email: Richvampirekindom@gmail.comAlandrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05564958616469735697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-18611762368308180252015-10-24T16:13:28.309+01:002015-10-24T16:13:28.309+01:00HAHAHAHAHA, I hear you there, about Lestat.
Glad ...HAHAHAHAHA, I hear you there, about Lestat.<br /><br />Glad to hear you liked Genevieve. I know she was turned when very young (a genius yet provocatively controversial decision by the author... considering how sexual she became over the years as she remained looking 14 but possessed the heart of a succulent, nubile highly sensual woman of `high` veracious appetite and experience).<br /><br />I think she is probably my all time favourite female heroine of any gothic novel I have ever read. My absolute fav of those books was Drachenfels.Stephen Gilberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01704275344468801259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-92006456788382986542015-10-24T15:18:03.555+01:002015-10-24T15:18:03.555+01:00Thanks, Steve.

I liked Genevieve but Lestat was a whining shit and I never warmed to him. He was the epitome of the angst-ridden vampire.

They look as young or as old as when they were turned.}}<br /><br />I was always fascinated by two vampires of literature who`s authors indeed obeyed that kinda `unwritten` law. Anne Rice`s Interview with a Vampire, where the character Lestat turns a child (Claudia) into a Vampire, and for the next 60 years she remains childlike to look at. The other is Jack Yeovil`s amazing dark gothic novels about Genevieve the Vampire... who again, stays looking like a 14 year old young woman, but is in reality an old and powerful vampire (who takes many, many lovers over the years).Stephen Gilberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01704275344468801259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-7463464947314345042015-10-19T22:47:54.831+01:002015-10-19T22:47:54.831+01:00Thanks, Sean.

It is generally accepted that the older a vampire is (i.e. the number of years they have been a vampire) the more powerful they become. So a vampire who has lived for 500 years will be vastly more powerful than one who has only been a vampire for one day. Vampire Lore 101. ;-)Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-60538673924023174482015-10-18T20:21:28.110+01:002015-10-18T20:21:28.110+01:00"Welcome to my house!

Count Strahd von Zarovich is one of the most iconic Ravenloft villains and the novel "I, Strahd" probably oneof the better novels to come from this setting. Good job on both figures, Bryan. Have to agree with your choice of alternative to what appears to be a Romulan. <br />Wizards of the Coast do seem to be rather good at getting things 'almost' right, but then falling at the last hurdle. <br />Regards JezCarrion Crowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12243490491778253955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-61757850361957610832015-10-18T18:22:10.323+01:002015-10-18T18:22:10.323+01:00Lovely paintwork Bryan!

That's no bad thing in my view because it is such a beautiful sculpt and it fairly screams "vampire". I totally agree that he is "so much more dynamic, imposing and full of dark dignity." You also raise another interesting point - what were WotC thinking when they commissioned this sculpt?

Sadly, the figure for the Young Vampire and Strahd is downright awful! If you can find a proxy figure to stand in for Strahd then do so. I can't fathom why WotC did not include a separate figure for Strahd. When all is said and done, he is the single most important character in Castle Ravenloft!Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-15396959217165008862015-10-18T13:54:29.787+01:002015-10-18T13:54:29.787+01:00I see why you chose to go with your own version of...I see why you chose to go with your own version of Strahd Von Zarovich *coughs...

Like you I'm not overly impressed with the bizarrely dressed vampire model and much prefer your classic sculpt. Interestingly "Marvel Comics" have done the selfsame changes to their Dracula, who is now a well-armoured warrior with a long-white ponytail as opposed to the classic version I grew up with up. Very disconcerting. Personally I'd be using my "Heroclix" re-paint for the game, so you haven't put me off purchasing this game at all - though it does seem rather odd that the boardgame doesn't contain a mini of so iconic a horror figure?Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.com
