NOTE: This page and some of these bookmarks feature drawings of naked bodies and are not appropriate for minors. The Thousand Year Old Vampire game itself is also not appropriate for minors. Not at all.
Okay, now that that's done I can finally say "I am so excited about these."
Playable Bookmarks means bookmarks that can be used to change game play while answering Prompts for Thousand Year Old Vampire and similarly structured games. The bookmarks represent wandering characters, tonal shifts, and other fuckery that add additional layers of complication to your game.
What you're getting: Six letterpress* bookmarks. They are double-sided with two colors on one side and black on the other. Each bookmark contains a rule to enliven your TYOV play. The bookmarks come in a brown envelope with the graphic below letterpressed* on it:
The envelope, alas, has no game function. It is just for corralling the troublemaking bookmarks.
How do I use them?: Choose a couple of bookmarks and drop them in the first two-thirds of the Prompt section, then just follow instructions. If things are unclear you use the bookmarks however feels right–they won't break your game if used incorrectly. Some of the bookmarks you might place and then never encounter and that's sad and okay and how real life works.
Can I get a PDF?: Yes, but later. For Christmas I'll send free PDFs out to everyone on the mailing list and make a cheap or free PDF available here.
*Letterpress is an old-fashioned and artisanal form of printing in which a raised surface is inked and squished into paper. Letterpress at its coolest has people hand setting individual pieces of type for the text. These bookmarks weren't printed with actual hand set type because I am a wordy fuck. Rather, they were printed using etched plates, which is still letterpress and still cool but not as cool is could have been.
