Thousand Year Old Vampire

Thousand Year Old Vampire is a one-player tabletop role-playing game by Tim Hutchings, played through guided journal writing using semi-randomized prompts. Gameplay can last from hours to weeks. The storytelling game revolves around documenting the life of a vampire, relying on the use of dice to generate open-ended prompts, which the player interprets and records as experiences. The vampire's story develops through gaining and losing memories. The player can only store a limited number of experiences, so the core gameplay loop includes erasing parts of a character's history.[1][2] The game's central question is what to do with immortality and power.[3] The print edition of the book is illustrated with detailed collages.[4]

Thousand Year Old Vampire won the 2020 IndieCade Tabletop Design Award.[5] It won the Gold ENNIE Awards in 2020 for Best Production Values and Best Rules, and the Silver Ennie Award for Product of the Year.[6]
