Thousand Year Old Vampire

You get a thousand years. You do not get to keep the memories.

Thousand Year Old Vampire follows a single vampire across the centuries, from the loss of their mortality to their eventual destruction, and everything they forget in between. Tim Hutchings' solo journaling game took Gold ENnies for Best Rules and Best Production Values in 2020, a Silver for Product of the Year, and the IndieCade tabletop design award. This is the digest-sized hardcover, 188 full-colour pages, section-sewn with ribbons and foil stamping.

You roll a d10 and subtract a d6 to move forwards and backwards through the numbered prompts, gaining and losing skills, resources, people and memories as you go. The cruel part is the memory limit: you can hold five Memories of three Experiences each, and older ones are pushed out by the new. A Diary lets you keep a few safe, until you lose that too. Each Skill can be used once. It plays in a couple of hours or across a couple of weeks.

Please note: you will need a d10, a d6 and a journal.

Perfect for: Anyone who has reread an old diary and failed to recognise the person who wrote it.
