I am still lowering my starting bids. I have a LOT at just $5 and $10. If you think the higher items need lower bids like the $50 and above Put in a $40,$50,$60 dollar bid you might just get it. I will also consider Bundle deals within reason I usually drop off $5 or $10 dollars or will offer the starting bids. Check them out.
Ask questions... I won't bite.... maybe...lol.

Defnitely to each their own! I'm not an advocator of melacholic games myself. 😛 And I do feel the appeal of light/escaping games.

I've thought about buying Thousand Year Old Vampire in the past, but even though I enjoy a horror theme, I thought that it seemed like it could get quite melancholy and I realised that I didn't really want that from a game. How do you find the tone/mood of the game?

I haven't played other solo RPGs to compare so I can't really tell how much of the mood of the game comes from the game itself and how much comes from the way I'm playing it and what I'm putting into it. It seems to me that, depending on the way you approach it, you can answer a prompt in a more or less heartfelt manner, and maybe it would be possible to play in a dark humour way. The core of the game does revolve though about the fact that you will surive many mortal humans over the course of the game. You are also a lonely vampire and the game does not prompt to build relationships with other vampires (at least not so far and in the game I played).
I had some moments that were horror in a rather fun kind of way but my vampire is currently half mad and living alone in a forest, feeding herself from animals, and has completely forgotten that she once had a daughter whom she loved dearly, so yes there are definitely melancholy parts, at least in the way I play it.

That sounds like an amazing story, but, yes, quite melancholy in parts. I suppose the tone/mood of most RPGs can be changed to the player's liking (as you mention), but it sounds like I'd have to work harder at Thousand Year Old Vampire to keep it from being more melancholy than I'd like.

To anyone who may be wondering, I'm not against games of this nature per se, I've just had a really tough couple of years personally and in my work-life. So my gaming is an escape from tough times and something melancholy right now would not be a good fit for me. I think that's why I'm preferring light-hearted/whimsical/silly stuff.

To each their own and hopefully there's something for everyone in the gaming world!

I once added The Magical Year of a Teenage Witch to one of Daniel's geeklists, and someone commented that it seemed to be like Thousand Year Old Vampire but without the creepy theme. It might be an alternative.

Thanks, I'll check it out!

Well, this is an obscure one that I never actually played, but board/wargame company The Avalon Hill Game Co produced a fantasy rpg called Powers & Perils that was pretty bad, then exacerbated the problem by aiming its first published adventure, Tower of the Dead, at high-level characters. GMs wanting to learn the system by running their PCs through a premade adventure were out of luck. I did what any self-respecting Game Master would do. I stole the good stuff from the adventure to use in my D&D campaign and never bought another product from that system.
