World of Obsolescence
You may have heard of something called the World of Darkness where vampires and other things in the night run around preying on unsuspecting humans.
Well, Obsolescensce tilts this horror staple on its head. Or threatens too.
A medium sized business comes out with a new weapon in oh 2015. It advertises that it will stun a human being, but totally disintegrate a vampire. Its a laser weapon.
The first barrier it faces is that everyone has been telling themselves for practically forever that vampires don't exist, even though any half-decent detective could have picked up their trail.
The second barrier is vampires not wanting their tasty treats to suddenly begin zapping them down like flies with a new bugzapper. And so the vamps use a variety of techniques to try to squash this endeavour. Such as political harrassment, lawsuits alleging harm, break-ins, kidnapping of scientists, infiltrating the factory with vamps, and if that does not work trying to wreck civilization and bring back the good old days...the Dark Ages where a Master of Men could feed in peace.
Haven't written this yet, but I intend to run it at Hallowcon.
Any ideas or suggestons are welcome. Also exclamations of awe at the brilliance of the idea are also accepted.
