Poor Marius, he'll never know love with a face like his. Even if he's fully functional.

And anatomically correct?

Wait, I thought vampires need to spend "blood points" to get it up and what not?

Anatomically correct, yes.

And yes, they do; that means he's fully functional as long as he does that. /retroactive bullshit

But in all seriousness Requiem vampires can have fun with sex like anyone else as long as they spend a point of vitae to activate 'the Flush of Life'.

[Elf]

That's what I thought.

About the "Flush of Life" stuff.

Buffyverse vamps never explain how they can fuck and eat.  Angel drinks coffee and Spike can get drunk on alcohol.

I chock mine up to nerve impulses.  That and sex is an easy way to get a vamp fed.  Not to mention all senses get intensified- even touch.   Which means if a guy was quick to go as a human, he'll have that problem even worse as a vampire until he can build up stamina.   Also means it is ridiculously easy to get a female vampire off.

With all these vamps around I'm tempted to bring in young Julius Belmont.

...Jojo is still on the knife's edge though.

Actually, oddly enough, even without the Flush of Life a vampire still has a working sense of touch. Their nerves function just fine, or at least whatever it is that animates them simulates a basically identical sensation for them... or twice as sensitive if they go full bore on the enhanced senses. The only reason they need the Flush of Life to get it up is that blood doesn't flow in their bodies otherwise. They can't, however, digest anything other than blood (barring a few odd bloodlines that can eat human flesh) without some kind of magical trick. Even with the Flush of Life they end up having to vomit that stuff back up after a while.

Oh Mike, the fantastic beer selection is part of the reason Lancer loves it so. 

Lol, that figures.

I'm struggling to work out what pizzas to pick, though. Kiyoshi wouldn't actually have much of a clue, honestly, I doubt he would eat pizza regularly, and I'm basically trying to design a menu for him to pick from....

I doubt I'll get this done tonight, because I need to sleep.

[Bloble]

Mike, it's just pizza.

Don't take it so seriously.

[Cherry Lover]

Well, it's more that I just don't have a clue what to pick, at all, and nor do I really know off the top of my head what sort of pizzas a restaurant like that might sell, barring the obvious.

[Alice]

Or you could have Kiyoshi just be clueless as you are, have him point at a few random ones, and I could handle the rest. No need to worry so much over it.

[Cherry Lover]

Well, yeah, but that still requires me to have something to point at....

[Arch-Magos Winter]

Please, Jack is ruggedly handsome.

Like Bruce Campbell ruggedly handsome?

You said his Charisma was D.

Poor Marius, he'll never know love with a face like his. Even if he's fully functional.

And anatomically correct?

It's D because while he's OK looking, he carries himself like a predator and has a tendency to forget to blink while talking to people.

[Aiden]

Damn, Magos, what did his Humanity drop to already?

And how is he still Good aligned with that?

[Arch-Magos Winter]

I'd say 6 or 5. He's just bad at remembering the little things.

Plus, Gangrel. He wasn't very good at dealing with people as a human either.

[Elf]

As a Christmas Present, character cap has been upped to Nine.

[Milbunk]

Alright I've waited long enough it's time to show you all the 4 generals of ruin!  Downy's subordinates they range from insane to completely sane to really really jealous. (So jealous they joined a murderous army.)

Also while looking through my game content I came across these little blurbs about the characters, may be good for some more info on them:

Spoiler for Hiden:

Also final note as I just did all this information I will probably not be doing my post tonight I may do it tomorrow however after all the celebrations are done with, let me know what you guys think of the generals and perhaps vote on which one you want to appear first.

[Arch-Magos Winter]

Metagaming much there Lantz?
