Message: <blockquote data-quote="Whizbang Dustyboots" data-source="post: 8825300" data-attributes="member: 11760">I'm currently 12 days into my first run-through of Thousand Year Old Vampire, doing one turn a day. It's been really interesting, with NPCs showing up when I wasn't interested in new ones arriving, only to be yanked away from my vampire too soon.My vampire has just started losing some of his key memories -- his own name and pre-vampire life now only exist as a record in his diary, and if he loses that, that's all lost to him.It's also been interesting seeing what I've had to learn about through Wikipedia and the broader internet in the course of my vampire's first 150 years of life. There's the Heresy of Orleans, the names of medieval Catholic demons, ships of the early middle ages and the (weirdly under-discussed) Muslim empire that stretched across much of Southern Europe and life in medieval Portugal.I have some general ideas for the next time an immortal NPC shows up -- there were some bloody days in France that cleared out all of the supporting characters in a few rounds of play -- but I have no idea what the future holds for this character, who's now on his third name and no longer remembers being called by his original one.Based on the prompt numbers, I'm about a third of the way through his story, although the way the dice go, he's gone backwards and stayed still more than once, so he could easily live far longer than usual with "bad" rolls of the dice.His story is a little darker and more violent than the ones on this thread, so once his story is over, I'll probably post it as a single Actual Play thread with warnings that it's rated with a soft R.</blockquote>
