Five Hundred Year Old Vampire (FYOV) is an educational adaptation of the game Thousand Year Old Vampire (TYOV) by Timothy Hutchings. In FYOV, players chronicle the long existence of a Vampire through the creation of a written journal and a series of player-made artifacts. The Vampire is one of several in a Cohort created by other players, the few beings that persist through the ages as they do. The Vampires will do things the players would not, both monstrous and awe-inspiring, and will provide a new perspective for players to see history and humanity for. Play progresses semi-randomly through Prompts. As players answer the Prompts through their journals and artifacts they will see their characters change and grow farther from their humanity even as they reflect the new times that they must adapt to.
