Five Hundred Year Old Vampire is a hack of Thousand Year Old Vampire. It reimagines TYOV as a keepsake game, that means you make stuff while you play. It's also youth friendly. It's a fancy box with lots of cards.
How might you live if time was a lie?
Five Hundred Year Old Vampire is a multi-player keepsake role-playing game that adapts the award-winning Thousand Year Old Vampire (TYOV) by Tim Hutchings into a new collaborative play experience suitable for both fans of TYOV and students in an educational setting.
As in TYOV, play in Five Hundred Year Old Vampire progresses semi-randomly through prompts answered with writings from the vampire’s perspective, but Five Hundred Year Old Vampire also includes player-created artifacts and rules for multi-player vampire Cohorts.
Five Hundred Year Old Vampire will see the players’ Vampires gradually lose their humanity and struggle to adapt to a changing world. The Vampires will do things the players would not, both monstrous and awe-inspiring, and players will record these deeds through journaling and artmaking.
This bundle includes the game box, the Liber Generis Sui Keepsake Journal, and the Beguiling Whispers expansion.
Beguiling Whispers is an optional deck of 36 cards that can be used to "facilitate multi-cohort play." That means that you can have multiple groups of people playing FYOV and interacting across groups.
Time to play: 2-3 hours
Players: 3-5
Ages: 14+
