S1E6: Altabella, a Diver Losing Her Humanity - Telling Sad Stories with Kurt Refling

Kurt Refling brings Altabella to the table. Altabella is a sea silk diver who is turned into a vampire, slowly losing her memory and becoming a predator in the process.

Kurt and I discuss how a good prompt leads to creative storytelling, what it means to become a vampire, and why we tell sad stories in TTRPGs.

This character is built for Thousand Year Old Vampire, a game by Tim Hutchings.
