X:13 Celebrations 4 years of undead antics.. That'll conclude the second fanzine, and it'll also signal for yet another transmutation of that which Sucketh in a Vampiric fashion. The exact nature of this flesh-crafted abomination will be kept obfuscated to the populace - ie. you my beloved readers. But I hope it'll be met with approval.. If you want to get your hands on one of these fanzines, and are fortunate enought to live in Sweden, then try to get yo' ass to a convention and request a signed copy! You will also have to endure me, an individual whose uncomfort will manifest in ADHD-esque behaviour (most likely induced by a caffeine-overdose) along with sexual innuendos and puns that'll pride a Gothenburger. And if that doesn't scare you off, I have acquintances that will physically assault you for liking vampires. I try to keep him on a leash, but then again.. it's much more fun to let him run loose. Confirmed conventions as well as the dates and place for these will be published on this site.. eventually.. yeees.. For the rest of you, which means about 99,99% of the worlds populace, well, I.. uh.. I could sell fanzines by some sort of e-commerce fashion. I hear it's quite popular these days. How is a very important question, though.. Feel free to bug me by e-mail until I deliver. We won't call it "harrassment". We'll call it "motivational speeches". I am a man, I am a boy, I am a child until I am no more Torpor 2011-05-12 Let the dead rest until they are needed again. It is no use to deny it any longer. I have to put Vampires Suck on indefinite hold for now. There's a number of reasons why, and I'll try to sum them up fairly quickly. One thing is the internet as a medium in itself. You've seen me contemplate in earlier commentaries how the need for proper updates and a fair amount of content each update makes longer storylines challenging. After my first creative breakdown, I started the Chronicles of coffee and cigarettes, adjusting focus from the setting to those who (ab)use it. These were short gags presented as strips. But I don't want to make strips. Or gags for that matter. At least not now. VS evolved into something I find much more interesting creating — a story. Some of you, who play any edition of WoD, realise this as well. It's not about how shitty or badass your character is in a game mechanic balance perspective. It is the drama that inevitably will surface because everything you touch will turn to shit. Life's still a fucking joke, but everyone doesn't get it, and others don't find it particularly funny. Continuing on what has been done is troublesome. I could start making proper 'zines altogether out of VS, but there's simply too much backstory only available online. And then there's my conscious decision to direct VS to those already familiar with the Masquerade-setting. A proper shift in medium would require a full re-boot, and probably to drop the universe by White Wolf altogether. But I assure you that the vampires have not returned into the shadows forever. They are always present, and the great resource material for classical Victorian horror can be applied within a multitude of settings. But VS as it is and has been, will not be for quite a while. I am deeply indebted to you all for giving me these 4 years. Thank you so much,
