A storytelling game of memory, loss, and time. Five Hundred Year Old Vampire is a multi-player keepsake role-playing game that adapts the award-winning Thousand Year Old Vampire by Tim Hutchings into a new collaborative play experience. Players become vampires chronicling centuries of existence. Play unfolds across five ages, each represented by a deck of cards. The Vampires will do things the players would not, both monstrous and awe-inspiring, and players will record these deeds through journaling and creating artifacts. How might you live if time was a lie? Five Hundred Year Old Vampire is designed with classrooms and larger convention play in mind. Classroom use aligns with both the National Writing Common Core Standards and the National Visual Arts Standards and is detailed in the FYOV Curriculum Guide. For larger groups or classrooms, Central Michigan University Press also produces Beguiling Whispers, an expansion pack which facilitates multi-group play. Players can even choose to enhance their gameplay experience by purchasing Liber Generis Sui, a themed journal created for Five Hundred Year Old Vampire reflections which is also published by Central Michigan University Press. For two-player Convocations or a vampire interested in a solo storytelling experience, FYOV: The Cracked Mirror is an epistolary duet mod perfect for such scenarios.
