TYOV creator here: I absolutely love this play through of the game.
thanks Tim! we had fun making it. glad you enjoyed it.
I just bought this and will give it a go. Looks amazing
Bought the game and ran it with my friends. Had an absolute blast, thanks for making this!
you created this? thank you thank you thank you - it is probably one of my favorite games of all time. Absolutely brilliant design. Perfect. Chef's kiss and I've recommended it to dozens of people since I found it. :D
I'd like to buy this, but I'm a bit short on money at the moment. I hope I can find it once things get better again.
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
Did anyone read this as creepy RPer😅
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.
Man, Pyrion heard “Don’t worry about the historical accuracy crowd,” and full-blown SPRINTED towards jet-powered Aztec dirigibles. Too funny!
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
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!
Legitimately gasped when Pyrion had Tiny Tim draw the little portrait, such a clever, genuinely sweet moment! Love these!
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.
@@sol_stapletonHeh, 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
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 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 😅
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
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 think, if you ask an 21st-century English man to roleplay a character for a thousand years, on average, most of them will pick an 11th-century English man. Not unexpected, but it does make me a little sad that all three TYOVs we've had so far have essentially started in medieval England. I hope the next time they play it, someone goes for a Roman emperor or a Mesopotamian swineherd (not that these three playthroughs haven't been absolutely fantastic).
@xavierreichel8254 This comment aged very well with Ben's run!
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.
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.
Yes. This is the best news I’ve gotten today.
Pyrion injects the perfect mix of grounded worldbuilding and chaotic ideas into the narrative!
This had some crazy twists and turns. It's also pretty cool that Pyrion followed a vague timeline all the way through, great job!
I like how Stede suddenly just changed the course of history by fast tracking the exportation of gunpowder.
Always happy for more 1,000 Year Old Vampire, any more would be much loved!
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.
1000 year old vampire is my favorite series on this channel
hmmm Toms wearing a spicy shirt xD
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!
Tom and Pyrion playing 1000 Year Old Vampire is the stuff dreams are made of
What a ride! I loved how it slowly became oddly goofy for a few centuries.
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 !
Thousand year old vampire is fantastic, I could watch every member of the Yogscast go through this
Yaaay, Another Thousand Year Old Vampire. Love these
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
Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Now it's Turkish delight on a moonlit night
Every gal in Constantinople
Lives in Istanbul, not Constantinople
So if you've a date in Constantinople
She'll be waiting in Istanbul
Even old New York was once New Amsterdam
Why they changed it I can't say
People just liked it better that way
So, take me back to Constantinople
No, you can't go back to Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works?
That's nobody's business but the Turks
Istanbul, Istanbul
Istanbul, Istanbul
Even old New York was once New Amsterdam
Why they changed it I can't say
People just liked it better that way
Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople
Been a long time gone, oh Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works?
That's nobody's business but the Turks
So, take me back to Constantinople
No, you can't go back to Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works?
That's nobody's business but the Turks
Istanbul!!!
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.
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.
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. :)
Wasn't excited to see another of these at first, but Pyrion Flax was brilliant in this. So invested in the storytelling.
I actually really am into giving this a shot.
Also, worth noting that Constantinople didn't become Istanbul officially until after WWI. However, "Istanbul" was a long-held nickname for the city that derived from Greek, so while it was officially still Constantinople it was called Istanbul, or something similar, colloquially during this time as well.
I’ve watched all the vampire ones tom has done & i honestly think this is my favourite. Amazing continuity & the changes are great
I love this! Hopefully we'll see Simon or Lydia become a vampire next
Pretty sure that opening was for Metal Quest...
Pyrion vengeance
Love the Alt History
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
I can't hear anything being said because I saw a full glass of ice water sitting on a wood table WITH NO COASTER!!! You monsters, you absolute monsters... oh, the humanity!
The Spanish Armada, its famous date, is fifteen hundred and eighty eight - little memory trick for you there
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.
i would love to read a book based on these events
I'm definitely going to buy this book solely because of this channel
I love how much Tom enjoys Pyrion’s improv. This was the perfect pairing for this game
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!
I love TYOV so much. Hope you guys play more of it on this channel.
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.
For future content idea: Could we get a round of Microscope? Those were always super fun.
come on pyrion's not that old
Parts of his bald head have calcified
YOU FORGOT TO ADD A MORTAL AFTER CREATING THE HIDDEN MARK, OF COURSE THE VERY NEXT ROLL KILLED ALL MORTAL CHARACTERS BUT STILL THOUGH
I would go to a Mega Blood Sport 5000 show
Missed the opportunity to call the video "the century egg" 🥚
I gotta admit, this might be my favorite vampire adventure yet!
YES. This is just what I need in my life right now (it's been a shit week). Thanks boys ❤
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
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.
This will be stuff of legend…
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!
This is so perfect. Love it when Good ol Flax comes down
We need Lydia and Simon to play this too! This is so amazing
Dorset mentioned !!!!!!!!!!
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.
Can't believe Pyrion created Aztechnology from Shadowrun!
I podcasted this while driving and it's amazing! This game is fantastic and PFlax is a great player for the game!
Also, I WANT TO PLAY THE GAME THAT THE INTRO DESCRIBES!!!!
Also Its the Ottoman Empire, not Turkey. It is like referring to Germany as the Holy Roman Empire, or Serbia as Yugoslavia
Totally different type of government, and way of ruling and culture.
Ah yes, "explodie road" very dangerous.
15th Century, Istanbul would have still been referred to as Constantinople, They only officially changed the name in 1930
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.
A stunning video. Thankyou both, and the crew. ❤
that was cool, Aztec ballons lol
Pyrion is so great at making heartfelt and creative moments at the drop of a hat, seriously blown away by his improvisational skill.
No no, friends, the game isn't over. Now you restart with the character Fusty Wilkins. You already have your origin for how he became a vampire, now.
This is perhaps the best backstory for BBEG ever made. i laughed at so many points and the ending was so heart breaking! 10/10 will revive as lich in campaign (with original naming).
oh this was absolutely brilliant! I've been playing this game on-off for a long time now, especially any time I need to create character history for WoD, and it is one of the most brilliant games ever designed. Never had a story emerge that didn't totally stick with me and shake me. But the story of man-bat and the aztec empire... totally 'nother level, well done!!!
Wow! This was wonderful and beautiful and I laughed and nearly cried a couple times and experienced a LOT of goosebumps. Well done
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.
Goddamn an hour long interview with PFlax? And I thought this was an RPG channel.
Always glad to see PFlax :)
Please do one with Lydia!!!!!! I’d love to see the chaos her vampire would cause!!! 😂😂😂
All the Thousand Year Old Vampire runthroughs are my faves, but man Pyrion just takes the cake with that one. For all the twists and turns, it really felt grounded and just awesome hearing it play out
There's a song by Winger called "Madeline", pretty sure Kip Winger is a vampire.
Really fun episode. Pyrion was great. Hope Tom gets another guest on to play Thousand Year Old Vampire.
There's a song called Madeleine by my favorite band Good Kid that I kept thinking about after Pyrion made his love ballad for Madeleine.
Love these 1000 year old vampire one offs. It'd be great to have more of these in between longer series.
really enjoyed Pyrion in this he is fucking hilarious in everything. Totally do more 1000 year old vampire this and the Lewis one were great!
What if Madeline ages/suffers the same disfigurements and stuff, and becomes the Old Crone. Her 600 years of pain, followed by an eternity cursed to live as a monster, either she becomes a mythical entity and goes back to curse the man who caused her so much pain, or lives long enough that time travel is a thing, Or Whatever, either way starting the cycle all over again in a big time loop
I like the idea of when England wins the 100 year war instead of the war of the roses its the war of roses and tulips. As the dynasties in Britain and France both want the combined throne of of the empire.
Man bat hunted across the sky by gunpowder propelled Aztec airships - that's the movie trailer / poster scene right there.
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
My Friday just got even better
Just getting around to this but @PyrionFlax is an incredible storyteller. I would love to see him in even more of these.
Oh no... I have a feeling something bad will happen to Tiny Tim. Q_Q
The Tiny Tim drawing was so wholesome
He did a Camazotz, classical lateral move, Mornington Crescent in two turns.
That intro music was legit, lol. Appreciated
Spoiler for the end:
For just a few seconds, I was hoping Pyrion would have chosen Weird Al as the old friend or foe who murders his character in his sleep
