I run with the old 'one in 100 000' number, so there are only a little over 70 000 vampires total in my World of Darkness. The remainder are the Vampire equivalent of 'Villager'. Having that many Vampires makes blending in and playing the social game easier important NPCs such as Primogen and other Court positions get named. If a third of those are regular Elysium goers, that means an Elysium for a large city would need to hold ~120 people, which seems sensible. What do we think? Are my numbers too high or too low? Have I under or overestimated any of the clans?Īs for the logistics of the system, if we assume that half of the Kindred in London are Camarilla, that makes 375. If you take the global city population, which is around 3.5 billion, and multiply it by this percentage you get roughly 300,000 Cainites in the whole world. That would make the % Cainite population 0.0088%, which is plenty low enough.

In a city of 8.5 million people this seems fair. This takes my total for London up to somewhere around 750 Vampires, depending on the bloodlines. Some bloodlines are rarer than others Salubri are near non-existent, whereas a Chantry of 40 Tremere might have 5 Gargoyles, with ~10 more free in the city. Some are more common Blood Brothers and Gargoyles will be the most numerous due to their roles as servitors.ĥ for most of the bloodlines, however one city won't have a representative of every bloodline. Obviously these numbers change by region New York won't have as many Giovanni as Rome, and Warsaw will have more Tzimisce than London.īloodlines will have a handful of members each. My assumption is that each major city has ~100 members of each of the common clans, such as the Brujah and Toreador, ~50 members of the less populous clans, such as the Tzimisce, Lasombra and Ventrue, and ~20 members of the more exotic clans (Ravnos, Followers of Set, Giovanni). I believe that the canon has given rough estimates for the Kindred population of the world, but since there are so many clans and bloodlines, and each city has to have some representation of most of the clans and a few of the bloodlines, the number has to be quite high.
