Thousand Year Old Campfire
NOV 3, 2025
Thousand Year Old Campfire

It belongs in a museum! Oh, wait, that doesn't work here... This week on the Vintage RPG Podcast, we check out Thousand Year Old Campfire, also known as Old Morris Cave: A Continuous Use Campsite in Mammoth Cave National Park. A descendant of Thousand Year Old Vampire, this game examines presence, absence and time through the excavation of an archaeological site. It's less emotionally charged than TYOV, but no less thought provoking.
