First full solo playthrough of Coriolis: The Great Dark on Hollowponds Solo Sagas. Not just guides or half attempts. We go from character creation and world talk right through a full delving arc. Join the adventure.

There are times to stick with it and push on through and there are times to cut your losses and walk away or run.

So when you are playing a solo game what inspires you? I talk about TV and films a lot as inspiration but I have also been inspired by places. The Ashmolean Museum in Oxford inspired a whole Cthulhu game I ran here.
Who or what are some of your main inspirations? Let us know in the comments.

Failure in TTRPGs does not have to mean death. Do not bin your character and start again. Turn it into story. Wake up elsewhere, scarred, saved, or changed. Keep playing.

I’ve looked around, and we’ve got the largest back catalogue of solo actual play TTRPG videos out there. Multiple systems, full runs. If there’s a bigger one, I haven’t found it.

Hiya darlings, it’s Princess Peach here—Captain Pete’s classier cousin. I’ve just popped in to tell you that new Trifolds have landed at DriveThru. Perfect for your solo adventures, darling. Now run along and grab one before Pete spends it all on rum.

Captain Pete’s cousin Princess Peach voiced an advert for the new Daggerheart book—lovely of her. The book’s on DriveThruRPG, go grab it. Easier than trying to pick up Peach. I’m not saying she’s heavy, but… wrong era for those jokes.

So, there’s a Comic Con in Gent, Belgium, where we’re moving. We got tickets. Simon Pegg will be one of the guests.
I looked at the PAX AUS guests. I knew Mike Mason of Call of Cthulhu fame. That was it.
Everyone else was an influencer or a cosplayer.
Am I old?
Don’t answer that.

So, the YouTube stats say that 27 of you who watch regularly are from Australia. Doesn’t sound like a lot but imagine putting 27 people in a room.
Yeah, they look a bit scared and confused don’t they… well I didn’t say snatch them off the street did I!
Anyway. Any of you going to PAX AUS this year?

So how do I get my PAX haul to Belgium?
Maybe this year I plan ahead...
Maybe I don’t grab every single freebie I see.
Maybe.

What do you say?
I hope all our stuff enjoys the trip to Belgium. Shuffleboard, all-you-can-eat breakfasts, and whatever sailors get up to when visiting a new port, which I’m sure is something like kind works for the poor or something. Away it all goes today… see you soon, boxes!

I realised there are a few games this year. They’ll be back next year:
Twilight 2K
The Walking Dead
Dragonbane
Pirate Borg: The biggest shock… no Captain Pete in 2025! Or will there be? I mean, we do have Talk Like a Pirate Day coming next month :D

Many of you prefer physical books. Me too. I skip DriveThru POD (postage is a killer) and print locally or at home. Now I’m not at my old job (no more “Saturday spreadsheets”), should I offer my books as POD? What Books??? These bit.ly/hollowpondsdt

So the paints are in a box. No more painting for Peter this side of the world. That’s the end of painting in Australia, now on to painting in Belgium. Anyone know any good places to buy minis in Ghent, Belgium???
