I just had an idea in the shower:

Vampire Bromance.

Think about it.

Not exactly.

You know how Vampire Romance is all about your perfect boyfriend, the vampire?

Vampire Bromance is all about your perfect buddy, the vampire.

How does one choose between Clan Hit the Club as Wingman and Clan Beer Fueled Adventure? What machinations will these creatures of the night pursue to ensnare the bro further into their web, and which one shall be victorious?

"Dude we need to totally go to that new bar."

"Whatever man. We're going dirt biking in the desert tonight."

Be well.

The roadtrip across the country! The wacky misadventures that leave the pair naked by the river! The Biker Bar Incident! Handcuffed together and hiding out in the confessional because of the crosses! The European Underworld tour and the time they almost scored the Succubi Twins if it weren't for Baazelbub coming home early from that vacation!

This idea, this one right here, this is SOLID GOLD. I would love to play a game where my pal is a nocturnal supernatural badass, but we still just do random crap together. That would be AWESOME.

As seen in Garth Ennis's comic, Preacher...

But what if the Vampire was played by Jack Black? Or Andy Samberg?

Ben,

It should have an element of sexual ambiguity, too.

Like, it should have a scene or two of probably-straight-guy-kissing-probably-straight-vampire (a la y tu Mama Tambien or Everyday Heroes, except with a vampire).

I want to write this.

Update:
I'm going to write a short piece called "Cool Darius", inspired by your idea.

PS. I'm pretty much spamming this post with my excitement, aren't I?

You know what's better than having a good idea?

Having a good idea and someone else does all the work for you.

Hey, yeah... Where does Lost Boys fit in the the Vampiric Bromance array?

Looking back, I think some of my only unambiguously happy memories of V:tM are of essentially this kind of thing. You may be onto something.

Consequence-free indulgence of appetite, irresponsibility, giving the Man the finger, liberation from the annoying and mysterious demands of social propriety.... this IS an underrepresented facet of the vampire fantasy.

That's pretty deep.

I must admit that my first inclination was just "road trip! with vampire!" But there's probably some legs on this idea.

They did that in Buffy season 5, in a battered old RV.
Then the Templars came and Giles was skewered with a spear. Hijinks!

Wow. I can't believe i didn't see the connection between hijinks vampirism stories and Buffy. I must be blind.
