After many failed tries in that world, I succeeded at becoming a vampire by drinking a non-vampire's blood laced with a vampire's blood.

Powerleveled an adventurer, but ran into 2 bugs: vampire blood not making me a vampire, and some loyalty cascade thing... I'm trying to solve it by retiring for a while.
You also tend to know who the vampires are.

Gorram as in... Shiny? That just aint right to me? And: Let me make one thing abundantly clear?
Error was from setting CotG = Hammerer. Apparently known bug. Was the only other dwarf I had handy that handles stress well and I'm superstitious about well trained heavily armed dwarves roaming freely in the fortress. My last fortress was 10 years old and had a mayor from the first 7 founders that had lived through two spirals and was a master weaponsmith. The CotG's husband got stabbed by a Minotaur in the lung then dodged off the top of a 10 Z waterfall. She wasn't too happy about this and complained to the mayor, didn't like what the mayor said and went berserk. Didn't matter the mayor had master combat training, armor, and a weapon - office still got redecorated and it took a squad of marksdwarves and a squad of speardwarves to take her down. New policy!
Ran fortress forward another year and no reports. No more deaths either so guess there was only one vampire. I'll try releasing him and see what happens next time he gets hungry.

Does creating a dormitory and then assigning individual beds out to dwarfs still count as having their own bedroom?
No, these are example interactions not used anywhere. Necromancers in world gen use their own generated stuff.
