TYOV creator here: I absolutely love this play through of the game.
thanks Tim! we had fun making it. glad you enjoyed it.
He doesn't look a day over 500
The years get shaved off with the hair
Pyrion is a very creative RPer, would love to see more of him on the channel
Agreed!
100% loved him in Call of Cthulhu back in Yogsquest
Legitimately gasped when Pyrion had Tiny Tim draw the little portrait, such a clever, genuinely sweet moment! Love these!
fun fact: so far, everytime tom has run this game on a stream or video, everyone's first roll has been negative, immediately turning one of the three mortal characters into immortal enemies. some of them have been inportant to the rest of the story (Lewis' french war buddy, Madeline) and some of them have never really shown up again (an immortal cat, an immortal donkey)
Tom also ran one with Alex. I don't remember the full story except there were a lot of eyes involved....and also animal companions
The rapid pendulum swing from genuinely clever and grounded to completely bonkers is so captivating. You can tell in an instant that this is the author of Bodega.
My head cannon for the ending is that Madeline all this time has always been searching for Pyrion, one step behind him. It’s why Pyrion could never find her! But thanks to the archaeologist and his curiosity on Pyrions life, it made Pyrions movements predictable and easier to catch. She’s been in pain for so long being disconnected from her lover - so close yet so far! Seeing him create a song about her, solidified to her that immortality IS a curse and she will free them both. So when she finally sees Pyrion once again, and as Pyrion opens his tired eyes he is stabbed through the heart and asks “Madeline why!!” And she proceeds to stab herself and replies “our pain will stay behind as we move on together” both of them die together leaving the archaeologist dumbfounded at the sight… however he had his reasons, he wanted immortality himself and he drank their blood and gained their powers and now he is the new 1000 year vampire!
Sad that it didn't end with Madeline being the archeologists' secret benefactor, having funded his research to find her husband. Then deciding to take them both out by flinging open an opening to the sunlight, having been ready to go for decades, but only willing to do it if they went together.
I'm pretty sure Lewis' vampire character became infected in the exact same way, amazing 😄
He also fought in the battle of Hastings as a french Knight.
@@solstapletonproductionsHeh, they fought on opposite sides 🤣
Not the leech lord himself!
Now you need Sips, as the third fighter in the battle of Hastings and the Triforce is complete. 😆
Where can I watch lewis play this
It's funny how the beginning of this is very similar to Lewis's playthrough of this game during a stream. He was also a soldier who died and got resurrected at the battle of Hastings, although he was a Frenchman called Leonardé of Rocherdé.
thats actually how they met irl!
I really like how PFlax's story is involves him saying how much he loves his wife.
And then literally cucking himself right at the end lol
Getting pflax and tom 1 on 1 action before the anual poker stream? Truly a blessed day.
Based on pyrions jumper they might have been quite close to the poker stream actually 😅
I like how Stede suddenly just changed the course of history by fast tracking the exportation of gunpowder.
1:12:16 "So I'm like ~RAHHH~ Manbat, fight my way out ~REEEE~ I'm flying to safety, they're chasing me in their balloons,, but I'm Manbat-ing away ~WAKAAA~"
This NEEDS to become a short holy shit I'm crying
Thousand year old vampire is fantastic, I could watch every member of the Yogscast go through this
The ending of my heart: It happens exactly as Pyrion tells the story, but insteat of the archeolegist and just ending. He regresses to his old, mortal self just for a few seconds and wispers: "Madelin, my love, i´ve finally found you." ... then he dies, with crying Madelin over him.
I thought that would happen too. It's a very nice idea!
This is what happens in the hit song, but truth is a bit blander than the music : )
He still had the wedding band.
Pyrion injects the perfect mix of grounded worldbuilding and chaotic ideas into the narrative!
Yes. This is the best news I’ve gotten today.
I love how much Tom enjoys Pyrion’s improv. This was the perfect pairing for this game
God's damn Pyrion is _so_ good at improvisational RP. He doesn't just arbitrarily say something, it's all funny and logical and contributes so constructively to the overall story. Absolutely riveting. Fantastic episode boys, Tom and Pyrion have to be one of my favorite duo's in the Yogs.
Tom running 1,000 year old vampire for various Yogs is always a treat. Definitely a nice way to bridge a gap between various other series on the channel.
Man, Pyrion heard “Don’t worry about the historical accuracy crowd,” and full-blown SPRINTED towards jet-powered Aztec dirigibles. Too funny!
This had some crazy twists and turns. It's also pretty cool that Pyrion followed a vague timeline all the way through, great job!
Pyrion has fantastic chemistry with Tom. I know Pyrion isn't local so he dosen't get to see everyone as often as others. So it's really nice when he clicks with other Yogs members. I think Pyrion and Lydia are fantastic together aswell. Would love to see all 3 together some more !
Tom and Pyrion playing 1000 Year Old Vampire is the stuff dreams are made of
Always happy for more 1,000 Year Old Vampire, any more would be much loved!
1000 year old vampire is my favorite series on this channel
What a ride! I loved how it slowly became oddly goofy for a few centuries.
hmmm Toms wearing a spicy shirt xD
I love this! Hopefully we'll see Simon or Lydia become a vampire next
Loved another 1000 year old vampire, it's great that even when the same things come up beacuse of the story it can be so wildly different
Wasn't excited to see another of these at first, but Pyrion Flax was brilliant in this. So invested in the storytelling.
Love the Alt History
I really like these 1 on 1 adventures. I am of course a big fan of the group adventures, but i feel the intimacy of these videos makes them stand out to me.
The prompt about being caught in the sun is so jarring when you're going with the whole untraditional vampire thing. I remember feeling the same last time you played this. Imo it shouldn't be in there as a prompt.
Great video though. :)
Pyrion is so great at making heartfelt and creative moments at the drop of a hat, seriously blown away by his improvisational skill.
The Tiny Tim drawing was so wholesome
damn, pyrions knowledge of history, and military history in particular, really paid off in this game. i love how enveloped he became in the character, and the way they altered history... i was totally hoping he'd become the man in the iron mask with the whole gunpowder thing, but the way he went about it was great! technologically advanced aztecs! but yeah, i agree with a lot of the comments about the ending, that Madeline would have been searching for him, and used the archaeologist to find him, to put both of themselves out of misery, rather than a blind, cruel, betrayal... HOWEVER, knowing how the game is played, perhaps that was just the luck of her roles, and SHE forgot how much they meant to eachother.... GREAT GAME, would 1000% watch this as a movie!
I'm definitely going to buy this book solely because of this channel
I’ve watched all the vampire ones tom has done & i honestly think this is my favourite. Amazing continuity & the changes are great
Yaaay, Another Thousand Year Old Vampire. Love these
Just noticed the Christmas Jumper lol Toms been keeping this one for a rainy day
Not actually, Pyrion replied to someone else's comment concerning this. He just 'doesn't give a shit'
@@flacotaco8743thats insane lol
Pyrion is excellent in this, and all the other Mystery Quest stuff. I love how nearly everyone has gone back right at the start and had to kill their other mortal.
Please continue these! I'd love to see what stories Harry, Lydia, Ravs, Boba, or really anyone would come up with!
Absolutely love the editing to Toms notes to not be blaring white, wonderful change to an already wonderful series!
Ah yes, "explodie road" very dangerous.
The Spanish Armada, its famous date, is fifteen hundred and eighty eight - little memory trick for you there
I gotta admit, this might be my favorite vampire adventure yet!
Pyrion kinda nailed this. Managed to really weave it all together.
I would go to a Mega Blood Sport 5000 show
This is so perfect. Love it when Good ol Flax comes down
This was my favourite yet! Pyrion's leap into alternative history was brilliant - and what a story! A romance, a sonnet, a ballad, a meme! It's fascinating how similarly Lewis, Tom and Pyrion's runs started, too, but I suppose it's natural to start with the history you know best.
Was so excited when I saw this in my feed, and it didn't disappoint. One of my favourite games, always love seeing it played.
Tom please keep having one offs of this game. I can’t get enough of
This video continues to cement the P-Flax-Tom duo as one of the Yogscast GOAT combos. Such good chemistry and I had an absolute blast listening to this.
Aztec air dominance to investment banking in a heartbeat 😂😂😂
Pflax is a gem this was so good
This was such a good story. Hardly any jokes, all drama and conflict
Laughed out loud when pflax man batted and ate everyone to escape the Incan revolution. Really funny episode
Pyrion is amazing, I love it when he's in any yogs or exended yogs content! I love Bodega and I want more non-gaming PFlax. It's just that he almost never streams any games that I'm even remotely interested in.
Pyrion took to this like a champ, what a tale told
Pyrion vengeance
Missed the opportunity to call the video "the century egg" 🥚
Love these 1000 year old vampire one offs. It'd be great to have more of these in between longer series.
Glad to get another one of these, the previous Thousand Year Old Vampire Mystery Quest was a lot of fun and I even went back to watch you do this with other members of the Yogcast.
We need Lydia and Simon to play this too! This is so amazing
Of the several actual plays of this game that I've listened to, this one takes the cake! Great job guys, loved every moment. I think this one deserves an animatic like Dave Thaumavore did for his own actual play.
This is great, i hope we see one episode with each yogscast member to see their personality
Loved every minute of this. Pyrion was creative, descriptive and slotted in some nice history tie-ins. Pleasure to watch!
Always up for more of this, so interesting to see everyone's stories. Recently did one of a Pictish woman with druidic themes which ended with her determining people are awful and disappearing into the forest.
A note for Tom and others who want to play this - you don't need to start at Prompt 1. You use that as a starting prompt which you base the first roll from but it doesn't have to be the first one you act on. That particular bit of the rulebook isn't worded the best
I like how the intros are getting weirder and wackier hahaha. just finished this, it was beautiful, I love these thousand year old vampire videos, it inspired me to do my own with a friend who isn't into this kind of thing but they loved it.
I cant wait until Tom goes grey so he can look like a wizard
The 100 year squared war. It is now the year 11400.
This will be stuff of legend…
A stunning video. Thankyou both, and the crew. ❤
Goddamn an hour long interview with PFlax? And I thought this was an RPG channel.
Always glad to see PFlax :)
TYOV is my new favorite series on this channel
He did a Camazotz, classical lateral move, Mornington Crescent in two turns.
This was absolutely incredible. I had been slightly disappointed we didnt get a spooky campaign this week but Pflax's creativity was delightful. Absolutely loved it
That intro music was legit, lol. Appreciated
This game is always a fun one to watch, always get a unique take on it.
Always good to see Pyrion on this channel :)
Really fun episode. Pyrion was great. Hope Tom gets another guest on to play Thousand Year Old Vampire.
I’d love to see a session with two people going on separate journeys being each others immortal connection.
There are some rules for that style of play!
Always great to see a mystery quest upload
Wow! This was wonderful and beautiful and I laughed and nearly cried a couple times and experienced a LOT of goosebumps. Well done
Love Pyrions very common sweater.
Dorset mentioned !!!!!!!!!!
That is truly one magnificent beard.
Thousand Year Vampire feels like such a deep dive into the minds of whoever plays, i wanna see what some of the other Mystery Quest regulars come up with!
Just classic Tom and Pflax!
Pretty sure that opening was for Metal Quest...
That was great!
Loved how things escalated from blacksmithing false teeth in 1070 to starting a gunpowder empire to Aztecs in airships and early 1900's internet :D
So so good! Pyrion was absolutely amazing in this, as always :D I really hope you guys get around to doing more of these, they are some of my personal faves!
My Friday just got even better
that was cool, Aztec ballons lol
This is a shining example of why this channel is so good, superb RP chaps!
Please do one with Lydia!!!!!! I’d love to see the chaos her vampire would cause!!! 😂😂😂
I'd love to read Pflax's long form rendition of this if he made it. For how flustered he was getting under the pressure, he came up with some absolute gold for his responses. Aztec gunpowder driven lighter than air travel, phenomenal.
Thanks Tom for making it happen. Can't wait to meet our next Hastings veteran.
Listened via podcast but leaving a comment to show support.
I love every single thing you guys do on here, but Thousand Year Old Vampire sessions might be my favorite.
