Runes

By Ken Cliffe. What the hell is going on?
"P.S.: White Wolf would like to thank the producers of the sensationalist TV show True Stories of the Highway Patrol for their October 12, 1993 episode. It's good to know that people are now being taken in for playing Vampire and being among the undead. Thanks to Trooper #666 of the Virginia Highway Patrol. It's good to know that our roads are free of Satanists, Sabbat and other social undesirables." -Ken Cliffe [1]

However, the Lost Media Wiki doesn't have any lost True Stories of the Highway Patrol episodes listed so far. Considering the timing, this may just have been a Vampire LARP game that was mistaken by the Highway Patrol of Virginia as something completely else.
