    The Gang Stakes this Solo Vampire RPG- Ep 197 Jun 26, 2020
    Show notes

    Brad, Sarah, & Ben take a deep dive on Thousand Year Old Vampire, the lonely RPG where you live the life of an immortal undead!

    Check out the bizarre gaming deeps at Tim Hutchings' Play Generated Map & Document Archive.

    Ben's book on RPG adventure design, Encounter Theory, is on DriveThruRPG. Click here to pick up this essential volume!

    Like Plot Points? Support it on Patreon at the $2 level, and you'll get a sneak peek into Ben's book about the sale of TSR to Wizards of the Coast! This chapter concerns TSR West, an effort by TSR to open an LA office devoted to producing comic books, an effort that failed rather impressively. It is the product of a dozen interviews with professionals from comics, gaming, and Hollywood, and as far as I can reckon, it is a tale entirely untold until now.
