Roll by Myself

Roll by Myself is a solo actual play podcast where host Shaghik Manè discovers different Solo TTRPGs every month, all by herself. Each story will use a different game system and explore a variety of tones, while always sticking to the lighthearted narration style you'll come to expect. The show airs weekly with a week off between adventures.
