In Thousand Year Old Vampire, you are a vampire in an adventure where you create the story yourself depending on the decisions made at the crossroads. The player, inspired by words and phrases from the game's rules, writes a diary that describes the life of a vampire.
The player first creates the vampire from a collection of keywords:
- Skills that can each only be used once
- Resources owned by the vampire, such as a castle or a ship
- Characters who will interact with the vampire
Memories, and forgetting memories, are central to the game; the vampire has room for only five memories, each consisting of three experiences. As RPG historian Stu Horvath wrote, "Experiences are single evocative sentences that, when put together, describe a moment, an event, an object, or a person of significance."
The vampire's life begins when the player responds to Prompt #1 with the first journal entry, turning the prompt into a written event. The player then rolls dice to determine which numbered prompt is next, and responds to the new prompt by writing the next part of the vampire's story. Prompts vary in form, sometimes granting a new skill; sometimes asking a question, which must then be journaled as an experience; and sometimes instructing the vampire to kill a character, use a skill, or give up a resource.
When a vampire has five memories, the vampire can write up to four of them in a diary, meaning that the vampire cannot physically remember the memories, even when they read about them in the diary. If the vampire loses his diary in the game, all the memories in the diary are also lost.
The game ends when the vampire has lost all memories.
