* GoodIsNotNice: Van Richten the vampire hunter is driven to purge the land of dangerous monsters. Unfortunately, he decides that includes you if he finds out you're a lycanthrope, even though you're on a quest to ''cure'' yourself. Worse, the book penalizes you Luck if you kill him even if he did draw first, since Van Richten might've been a "paranoid borderline psychotic", but he was still a brave man performing a much-needed service, and his death makes it even easier for evil to spread.

* FantasyGunControl: For once, you have access to a powerful Flintlock pistol, which you can obtain by the Headless Highwayman or Van Richten. It can shoot a limited amount of bullets (either silver of lead ones) and has special rules. It can possibly one-shot an enemy if you're lucky.

* AristocratsAreEvil: Given the setting and the tropes involved, nearly all the noblemen and noblewomen of Lupravia are evil and dabbled with the dark arts.

Some actually did become more powerful, but most became nearly-mindless monstrosities.
