Our adventure about Isabeau the newly-created vampire continues! This is a story being told using the game Thousand Year Old Vampire. If this is the first you’ve seen of this adventure, I suggest that you read Part I of this adventure where we describe Isabeau’s mortal life and the event that turned her down the undying path.

At this point, Tara and I have some ideas about how this will progress, but since we’ve never played this game, we have no idea what to expect.

We chose the birth year 1412 so she can have the potential to meet the greats of the Renaissance, specifically Leonardo Da Vinci. And there’s the possibility of bringing the game beyond history into modern times, and even into the future!

Nothing is guaranteed, though. This vampire could live the titular Thousand Years, or she could end up staked through the heart after a mere century or so.

The next thing to do is to go to the very first prompt (where all Vampires in this game begin).

I’ve always had an itch to play Role Playing Games, but the actual play has been limited to when a group can get together on a regular basis. As an adult with a job, and with my friends as adults with jobs, it’s possible to do, but never really spontaneous.

Then I heard of this game, Thousand Year Old Vampire by Tim Hutchings. Only one player needed. The idea of the game is to tell the story of the entire tragic life of a vampire. Never played it before, but it sounds like my kind of nebulous nerdiness. I also like dark stories, and this will scratch an itch.
