On 29th November, 6pm UK Time, we will be debuting Season 3 of The Playing With Diceself podcast, where I played Cyberpunk RED & its NEW solo rules, Single Player Mode to play/create a campaign, the cast, world & MORE on the fly.

As a little tease, I want to tell you about these dice (see pics):

Season 3 of the Playing With Diceself podcast will be 8 episodes. It's been a very surprising, rollercoaster of a solo campaign and so much fun using @rtalsoriangames.bsky.social new solo rules for Cyberpunk RED for this. Can't wait for y'all to see it!

Does 29th November sound ok to you? 👀

Been a while since I felt compelled to bring forth a collection of VtM (core)books for a YouTube video not connected to running a game, but here I am, ranting away about the Tzimisce and their Disciplines 🧐

Episode 7 has bought nothing but twists after revelations, after handjob as a simple gig to rid my character and co. of our troubles has drowned us in a deluge of conspiracies and cybermadness!

This world is the face of entertained horror, courtesy of R. Talsorian Games' Cyberpunk RED & Solo Rules.

A little early birthday present to me, Sensor by the amazingly inspirational Junji Ito. Don't know much about this one, other than it has a gorgeous dust cover with a story folks either love or find it "meh" which, for Ito's work, is pretty stellar anyway.

Anyway, got some spoopy mangaka to read!

Also, can we just take a moment to how fucking shit-faced Holly was this morning? She was up a LOT last night and was very clingy for most of the day, but she did look especially adorable with a sleepy puppy-like demeanor.

I looked after as good as she comforts me during peak depression episodes.

Bookended my day with more solo ShadowDark. In his attempt to graverob, he nearly got killed by skeletons but met his demise at the teeth of a zombie. Out of all the ways to die, that would be it lmao.

Enjoying the system so far. Will make a separate character to clean up the mess tomorrow 🥰

Iggs the Goblin Thief from my ShadowDark game needed money. So, he stole a house and got the owner arrested cause (through the nature of dice rolls) was breeding demon dogs for dog fighting.

The d12 is a token for me moving about the house I generated using ShadowDark and other sources online.

Will be starting a long ShadowDark experiment tomorrow (another long-ass video project lol) and here's my 1st character; Iggs, the Goblin thief who I interpreted as a graverobber, "beautifully" illustrated in my new notebook.

It was a lot of fun to do. Beginning to see the appeal of OC art now.

Got about an hour's worth of gameplay and it was so much fun all the way through! The Secret of Weepstone definitely has strong old-school TTRPG vibes for sure!

Think I will deploy it next Saturday cause fuck it, why not! See you there, 6pm UK Time 😚

E6 S3 of Playing With Diceself is recorded now. This solo Cyberpunk RED actual play, using the official solo rules, Single Player Mode, has taken this campaign in some wild directions. This time, we have the start of what will probably be a short-lived romance, but I (barely) live in hope lmao.

By "this week", apparently that meant tomorrow/today!

Thank you The Arcane Library for the review copies of ShadowDark, the GM Screen & SoloDark zine + the additional Cursed Scroll zine as a treat.

Coincidentally, some OSR things I bought arrived too, an OSR oracle & the Skyrim-inspired ShadowRim.

Finally got round to recording my review of Vol.1 of the Venom EPIC Collection for 2026, and it was honestly so much fun waffling away for ½ hour on something that made me me happy and passionate about, regardless to how "on brand" it is(n't).

Expect more of this sort of attitude darlings 😘🤌

A journal acquired, partly inspired by a @soloistventure.bsky.social video and potential OSR dabblings.

After 2 weeks of not being able to record, I was able to do a large(r than the other parts so far) 5th episode of the solo Cyberpunk RED Actual Play. It was hard sustaining one of the many OMG surprised faces I had after the sesh ended. I was, and still am, on a phat high after playing.

When you kill one of your players in biting their dick off...in All Flesh Must Be Eaten.

Such is the way of the distinguished gentleman 😌

Who's running/playing TTRPGs this particularly spooky weekend? Started off a short solo Wraith: The Oblivion game using my solo rules, The Hopeful Damned for oracles and character generation. Made a teen Pardoner (non-Guildwraith) who is trying to right the wrongs of her criminal parents.

Another October Watchlist Challenge done and, in case it didn't come across in my Letterboxd reviews, this was a chore. Mostly wank prompts and films yet with some unexpected bangers.

That said, glad I watched a horror film everyday last month, even if the horror was just the amount of bad cinema.
November 1, 2025 at 2:32 PM
The mad chooms have done it again! @rtalsoriangames.bsky.social have kindly sent over the last 2 books to complete the Cyberpunk collection (as of this post), Deep Space & Listen Up You Privative Screwheads!!!!

Again, I am exceptionally grateful for your kindness. I'll forever appreciate it 🧑‍🎤

Just as I finish reading Venom, Maximum Carnage arrives. Another Spider-Man (themed) omnibus to get my teeth stuck into and (hopefully) enjoy. 🥰
October 29, 2025 at 12:40 PM
I will always love Venom's introduction, as well as that manic and goofy smile. I love him.
October 27, 2025 at 9:15 PM
We...are here!

Pretty much brand new, or the previous owner didn't read it or... something. It doesn't matter, I guess, as the Venom Epic Collection Volume 1: Symbiosis is mine 🥰😍
October 27, 2025 at 3:07 PM
Upping my insufferable content creator rank by making this absolute banger of an image, so now you have to buy something, as a treat 😏
October 26, 2025 at 6:20 PM
A gunfight between some gangsters & my Lawman, Britt "Top Demon".

One has a Spinal Injury and probably won't be able to walk again (without some expensive cyberware), one had their brain matter rearranged with my Wolvers, & another ran off, beginning a hectic car chase across The Old Combat Zone.

The 3rd & final part of this emotionally exciting V20 Dark Ages game comes to a close. I loved playing Joan my old Lasombra bitch & the synergy the whole group had throughout. It's been a great journey to be a part of and, hopefully, this is not the last time we tell tales of dark, personal horror.🥰
