Hey all! New here! Thought I’d say hello!

Geeky guy into books, solo RPGs, fantasy… all that jazz!

I’ll mostly post about games and short works (and I mean short) story snippets I come up with.

Say hello. Pls. It’ll be lonely if you you don’t 😂
#Alienisolation is so damn good!

One of the joys of #solorpgs is that if you're not feeling it, you can just put it down without letting others down.

I wasn't feeling my Shipping campaign in #Hostilesolo so I've put it down and started a Colony Survival one and I'm already feeling it more than the Shipping one!

The Voidscarred (me) hold the numerical advantage… but the Inquisitors had secured too many early objectives for them to mount a comeback.

Finished #DuneMessiah over the weekend. For me, not as good as #Dune but I still enjoyed it - it made me want to pick up and read the third book! Some really interesting parts about how those in power are sometimes trapped by the power they wield...

The first boss on #ChildrenofMorta was a right pain for some reason! Took me I don't know how many attempts to beat it.

The second boss on the other hand... beaten first attempt! Granted I got a nice RNG build with Kevin, but even so... much easier to handle.

And there we have it - the Russian/Italian confederation (one of the three-player game variant nation combos) claims victory after betraying its Anglo/German/Austrian allies at the opportune moment.

It was me. I was that betrayer. Mwahahaha.

What a first day in the first test of the #Ashes!

Wow! Cmon #EnglandCricket

I know it's a simple ruleset (that's why I picked it for my first attempt) but I now have what I think is a handy little toolset in #Obsidian for playing #Loner! And will cloud synch I can carry it in my pocket too via my phone!

#solorpg
Currently learning markup so I can use #Obsidian to make myself a little #solorpg toolkit for some game I want to play - wish me luck!

An afternoon down the dungeon for another #heroquest. The warriors prevailed but at the cost of one of their companions…

Started playing #LoopHero yesterday and have to say, loving it so far!

It's not quite an RPG, not quite an idle game, quite a lot like a board game... good fun so far!

The four intrepid adventurers ventured into their first dungeon…

The wizard decided discretion was the better part of valour and fled to fight another day having seen his companions felled but the forces of darkness.

Ready and waiting for an occupant? Or has the incumbent risen and is now abroad committing nefarious acts…

Board state when we paused our game of #Diplomacy for the night.

It’s a three player game so we have coalitions (as laid out in the rules) of England/Germany/Austia, Russia/Italy and Turkey/France.

Some new #boardgames acquired today.

#heroquest I played an old version of and it was great fun!

#diplomacy is going to cause some arguments I think! 🤣

Just started a play through of #hostilesolo. Never played it before but it looks great and I’m excited to give it a go!

Crew created, first mission rolled… what could possibly go wrong…

Sat in an airport bar, with a pint, a dice app on my phone, playing some #Loner.
