Thousand Year Old Vampire

Game designer Tim Hutchings’ Thousand Year Old Vampire is one of the moodiest role-playing games out there, and its physical version also happens to be one of the most gothically beautiful. The journaling game can get dark and too real, as it encourages you to glue yourself to the character you create, an outcast who’s lived 100 lifetimes. But that’s where I tend to be emotionally around Christmastime anyway.
