Happy hunting!

Fellow vampires,

The "hunt and feed" cycle before "getting out of town" in Vampirii faces a challenge when it comes to meeting two goals at once:

* providing a narrative experience that approximates that of a table top game with some unnecessary complexities removed; and
* keeping the pace of the game such that players can spend enough time to feel both immersed and invested in the story and the character's "life" as a vampire, but not so much time that a mechanic would become to feel repetitive.

Hunting and feeding are both core mechanics that balance the rest of the questing, provide the fuel for leveling up and fighting, and keep our character grounded in reality regarding his new existence.

Depending on the life story background, the player faces different options and chances of success when negotiating windows, garage doors, roofs, and places where keys might be hidden. While the narrative pool of scenarios and outcomes offers enough variety (including 1/20 and 1/10 occurrences while attempting to beak in), sooner or later a player has seen all the outcomes.
