I think both movies hold up pretty well. What do you think would be a more interesting game: PCs as vampires on the run from a Vampire hunter; PCs as Blade's support crew; or a whole party of Dhampirs just in an urban fantasy sandbox creating mischief?
I have not watched either of them in forever but I'm glad they hold up! Loved both of them when I was younger. I think I liked Blade 2 better, I liked the idea of a "new breed" of vampire (of course now I know that's a trope but at the time it seemed really clever to me), but I suspect Blade 1 is probably the better movie overall. Blade 3 was awful lol.
While Blade is what I grew up with, for me the Dhampir of all Dhampirs has to be Vampire Hunter D. I've read every volume of the light novels that's been translated into English so far (I think 29 or 30...) and watched both the movies. Haven't read the manga. Def a huge inspiration on my tastes wrt science fantasy even if I'm not as into that as I used to be.
The roll tables for the parentage in particular (but really all of them), in retrospect seem like a no brainer, like it's surprising you haven't done Dhampirs before because it makes so much sense for this format.
This is def another one where the tables build out a whole story around it, good stuff.
