Thousand Year Old Vampire is an introspective, emotional, and sometimes frightening solo role-playing game about the remorseless crush of memory over millennia - and vampires - built for lonely solo play across a few hours or many weeks.

A creaking hunter among dust and cobwebs, you prowl the night places, seeking the souls on which you feed. You have done this since time immemorial, or so you believe; you have no memories of living as a man-thing like those you catch and eat. But human traces linger; your fingers trace clever arabesques in the dirt of your grave-place and with the flourishes come whispered songs in a language you've forgotten. Far away, in a museum, hangs your portrait in oil by a master five hundred years dead - you might have been lovers but the diary you kept then is long lost.

Schwermütiges Solo-Rollenspiel über Erinnerungen und deren Verblassen

4 stars

Eigentlich lassen mich Solo-Rollenspiele kalt, aber dieses hier hat mich gleich interessiert - was wohl nicht zuletzt daran liegt, dass es in der Form eines wunderschön gemachtes kleinen Hardcoverbuches erschien.

Ihr trefft Entscheidungen im Leben einer fast unsterblichen Person, beginnend mit der Begegnung, die sie zur Vampir:in macht. Es gibt zahlreiche schreckliche Taten im Leben dieser Figur, und ihr schreibt alles auf - und seid oft gezwungen, Erinnerungen und Charaktere zu streichen. Ebenso wie an eurem Geist nagt der Zahn der Zeit auch an eurem Körper: Die wichtigsten Themen sind Bedauern und Verlust.

Innovativ, spannend, toll geschrieben.
