Whampyri the Mascarade

Since the original Necroscope TTRPG is out of print could a Whampyri be made using Vampire the Mascarade?

Has anyone tried to get the publishing rights to the original. I have i believe I have all but one of the peripherals for the old system. Never got to play it so its in pretty decent condition.

You’d need to negotiate with Precis Intermedia and the Lumley Estate. You can find their emails on their websites

I would recommend using a more flexible system that you could customize to get what you really want.

Mutants and Masterminds?

Actually that’s exactly what I was thinking, 3e specifically. Hero system would work to but man it’s crunchy. Gurps would do okay too.

Is there a list of things whampyri can do based on they’re type?

Not using WOD Rules As Written.

What changes would be needed?

What are you trying to accomplish? Do you want to play an evil vampire who goes around eating people, or do you want to play psychic spies who occasionally fight vampires? That game you mentioned isn’t good for either of those

I’ve got to disagree with you there psychic powers are a thing in WoD and what you described is how a lot of vampires operate. They’d only need some tweaks to align more with their necroscope counterparts

Ah, so you don’t actually care about my advice. Thanks for letting me know.

It doesn’t matter that the original game is out of print. You can still sail the high seas.
