Right on.
I was going to say that these days I'm not interested in vampire protagonists at all, but it's not quite true. I'm working in the back of my head on not one but two games where you might play a vampire protagonist. In both of them, (1) you might be a vampire but being a vampire isn't the point, and not all of the PCs are vampires, and (2) becoming a vampire is something that happened to you without your consent, but it didn't take away your ability to decide what to do going forward.
Both games, being only notional, share their vampire rules. I'll tell them in Apocalypse World move format. A vampire PC is always in one of three conditions: sated & lethargic, lean & hungry, or ravenous. Every night, roll+self control. On a 10+, in the morning you're lean and hungry. On a 7-9, in the morning you're ravenous. On a miss, in the morning you're sated & lethargic.
I think that's pretty funny.
