Johnny. He/Him.

I constantly grind for more XP. I blog about my solo TTRPG adventures on Tumblr.

RPG tip from the archive: Build historical layers to your dungeons. What is it now? What did it used to be? And what before that?

This sounds awesome. 🐭⚔️
Ok, nobody asked for this, it is completely unannounced, but I was possessed by this idea so here we go:

Mausworn—what if Mausritter, but... Ironsworn?

I started the draft, drew the cover art, and have a vision to combine my favorite bits of these two awesome games into a standalone project.

I'm playing the Ghostwalk campaign, and my character finally died. Now, I can begin to play him as an eidolon. What killed him, you ask? A dire weasel, that's what. Those things bite and don't let go.

RPG tip: Small three-room dungeons are a fun way to spend an evening. Every dungeon need not be a sprawling megaplex.

F.O.R.G.E. (Fantasy Open Roleplaying Game Engine) is so damn good, I've been too distracted by F.O.R.G.E. to play in my other solo campaigns. I can't recommend a better game engine for OSR games.

I’m working on a thing: tell me about your favorite solo TTRPG, the more obscure the better. I’m going to have an opportunity to write about more TTRPG stuff in the future and I would like to do some specific solo RPG writeups

F.O.R.G.E. is an astoundingly good solo TTRPG engine: It combines the best parts of the Mythic Game Master Emulator, 2nd Edition and the Ironsworn RPG for OSR and B/X compatible games.

I've momentarily put down some of my other projects to bring F.O.R.G.E. to Greyhawk.

GM Tip: Allow enemies to flee, surrender or negotiate. Not every encounter should end in death, and morally gray outcomes keep players guessing.

After 5 sessions and 102 moves, I completed the Basic D&D adventure Ghost of Lion Castle. I made it through with the first pregenerated character, Nathel, and had 4 hit points remaining at the end of the adventure.

Huzzah!

My new aspiration is to solo game until my books literally fall apart. It is the Solo TTRPG equivalent of crashing the screen on an old Atari game.
