I bought these food-grade blood bags on Amazon last winter for a vampire-themed dinner with my friend Irene and featured them again this Halloween in my Vampire Dinner episode of The Rose Table. Blood bags add such a fun party element to any vampire-themed party. I absolutely love using them.
Cathay, meanwhile, is the bulwark between mortal civilisations and the tide of Chaos, and fights to maintain political stability while yelling at the rest of the world for its stupid petty squabbles in the face of a real threat. And from TW2, there's a faction of vampire pirates. Vampire pirates who raid and plunder and leave enough intact to siphon off their share while they move on to reave somewhere new. One of their leaders isn't even undead, and in fact despises them, but leads an army of them anyway to fight fire with fire. All with different resources, goals, and means of exerting and gathering power. It's all so evocative.
Val Falco: Now look, I'm not saying what we saw were vampires... All I'm saying is there was some kind of undead creature that was sucking the blood out of the living and shot lightning out of their eyes...
