The Solo RolePlayers Podcast

Hello and Welcome back to The Solo RolePlayers Podcast. Today on the show I am keen as mustard to bring out another new format for a spin.  That first look, first touch, first flick of a new RPG is a magical experience. You (or at least I) skin things, stop at cool art, let out a 'wicked' under your breath for some fangled new dice mechanic, and let the beginnings of your first potential story in this game start to bubble up in your imagination.  Not quite review, (definitely) not quite tutorial, my goal with this format is to give you a bit of a feel for what this game might be like to play and how I think about new systems and settings when i'm getting ready to play in them for the first time.  Enjoy! - PJ You can get in touch with me on: soloroleplayerspodcast@gmail.com, PJSack on Reddit/Bluesky or better yet join the SoloRolePlayers Patreon where a free membership will get you access to the community chat and my public newsletters   At the SoloRolePlayers Tier you get at least 1 (usually its 2) bonus episodes a month where I continue playing through the games introduced on the show, a regular bookclub/gameclub meet-up, access to the discord, and connect with celebrity guests.   You can leave me a voice mail with questions, ideas, experiences or just to say g’day at https://www.speakpipe.com/SoloRolePlayers   Links & Recs If you like this show you might like to check out the podcast that started it all, my Fallout Narrative Solo-RPG Audio Drama A Wasteland Story   Creators that helped me discover this weird and wonderful hobby: Man Alone Boardgames with Thomas - Fallout Series Geek Gamers The Dungeon Dive Lords of the Dungeon (The Secret Cabal) Girls Who Don’t DnD Me Myself & Die   Reading Materials that helped me figure out what the hell I am doing: Mythic GM Emulator 2E Solo Game Masters Guide - geekgamer   Music and Sound Effects in this series are credited to: Epidemic Sound

Hello and Welcome Back to The SoloRolePlayers Podcast. Today on the show, in preparation for the official, one and only, never to be repeated first episode of season 2 of the show (nearly finished but not quite) I bring to you today an ancient recording found collecting dust, presumably in some moldering tomb or another, a play I did way back in the early years of the lovely little game Cartograph.  This is not your heart-wrenching, stomach-churning, drama heavy playthrough, but rather a very cozy walk through this book. Part play, part tutorial, part unboxing.....now that I edit it I realise it is foreshadowing of things to come..... all map drawing, so with that mysterious inkling out of the way, in anticipation for the new season, sit back, relax and enjoy an early years episode from that guy who plays games solo for some reason...PJ

Hello Dear Solo RolePlayers,  I recently recorded a little experimental episode that was going to be just for Patrons but I kinda wanted to give you all out there a bit of an idea of the kind of extra content I am doing and planning to do over there so I decided to make it available to all! This is my raw thoughts and live play example of me attempting my very first hack of a system...just for fun :) It's different, it's a little weird, and I don't necessarily recommend my strange hack ideas to anyone. How can you resist.  If you enjoy this episode I will be releasing part 2 shortly over on the Patreon where you can also find a heap more actual play episodes of a bunch of games including the continued story of Forbidden Lands mentioned here.

Hello and welcome back to the Solo RolePlayers Podcast. Today on the show I am proud to present the fantastic, inspiring, prolific and downright game-changer to the solo roleplayers hobby, official friend of the show Tana Pigeon to talk all about, and give a live example of that slippery and mystifying of concepts, playing a published adventure solo. Tana talks through a few of the techniques she has used and written about in the past for how to do this, but also presents a brand new way to play a published adventure solo as written about in her recent issue #50 of Mythic Magazine, the 'Deconstruct the Known' method. We wrap up the second half of the show by picking an unprepared adventure at random and actually showing off how the new technique works. It was a heap of fun and I am sure it will give you some ideas and confidence to try and do something like it yourself.
