Strange food for thought

[Blake Sterling Jr.]

So while making up my new character background, I was looking into the the best vampire/human ratio.

Vampire has the general rule of thumb 1 Camarilla vamp per 100k population. 1 per 50k for Sabbat Cities.

That means Seattle can support 6 vampies. 12 if overpopulated.

I just thought it was an interesting note.

Yeah I wish they offered some of the math behind that, because at that point its really not blood (My quick math, Mortal restoring 1 point a month, figure only 10% is in a position to be fed on, figure that the average Vampire spends including waking up like 50 blood a month, 100k*10%*1Bp per month/50 = 200 vampires fed per hundred thousand people, even if you take that to 1% feedable, you're left with 20 vampires fed per 100k) that is the limiting resource.

But perhaps a fight for the other resources since most vampires don't seem to have a mundane job, maybe they just have to much free time to be that close to one another? The odd benefit that Vamp's have over most carnivores (Which is where I think that food tree comes from) is they often don't kill their targets, indeed most vampires don't have to kill their food sources at all.

Let alone heard, or businesses that slip some blood away from the red cross or the like.

I think they add in risk of detection rather than resources management.

If enough people go to the doctor about feeling under the weather and they all have less go juice...

Or more likely it seemed like a cool number to throw out there.

HAH! yeah, light level iron defency would probably not raise that many eye brows. I think what they were trying to avoid is vampire inflation. lest there be like 200,000,000 vampires in the world.
