Hello and Welcome Back to The Solo RolePlayers Podcast.

It is the end of my biggest year as a SoloRolePlayer and I just wanted to jump on the mic today to chat a little bit about what a year it was, and some of the games that stood out to me throughout. 

I hope you enjoy.

Hello and Welcome Back to The Solo RolePlayers Podcast. Today I am, exhilarated, a little I think due to a bad mushroom I found in at the foot of a bigger mushroom in a very strange forest, to bring you the first [ACTUAL PLAY] session of Dolmenwood.

As I mentioned in the [FIRST LOOK] episode A huge shout out and thank you to Beyond The Witching Ring for letting me use their wonderful soundtrack(s) made specifically for this game. 

If you would like to hear my Character Creation for my Dolmenwood campaign you can head over to the free tier on Patreon/SoloRolePlayers 

where you will also find the entry information for our Dolmenwood December Giveaway!.

I really hope you enjoy this episode, I really loved making it and am adoring this game. I have already continued more sessions and am planning for many more over the coming year which will all be posted over on the patreon with all of the other extra episodes.

Don't forget you can always drop me an email or a comment or a speakpipe message (link below), I always love to hear from you.

And don't forget to spread the word about this wonderful hobby.

Hello and Happy Dolmenwood December Dear SoloRolePlayers One And All!

(breathes)

Today I am ecstatic to bring you the first official episode of the month of December, famously the last month of the year and even more famously all about the mysterious, tantalising, and more that just a little twisted british/celtic folklore inspired tabletop roleplaying game.... Dolmenwood.

This episode was a labour of love and if you can feel that love when listenig to it...then do spread it some by telling others who you think may like Dolmenwood and/or SoloRolePlaying and/or this show.

(gasps)

Also check out this wicked music made specifically for this wonderful game.

Hello and Welcome Back to the Solo RolePlayers Podcast.

Today on the show I got a hot little game to the table, known to some as Kal-Arath. This affordable, old school, small foot-printed little gem is great for short (or long) sessions on the go or at home.

Hope you enjoy the actual play of Kal-Arath.

Check out the Castle Grief Substack for more info.

Hello and Welcome Back to The Solo RolePlayers Podcast and today on the show I am proud to bring you one of the founders of arguably, the most solo friendly of the standard rpg publishers, Free League. 

Tomas and I caught up recently to talk about how Free League came about and why supporting solo play is important to them.

Enjoy!

Hello and Welcome back to The Solo RolePlayers Podcast. Today on the show I am keen as mustard to bring out another new format for a spin. 

That first look, first touch, first flick of a new RPG is a magical experience. You (or at least I) skin things, stop at cool art, let out a 'wicked' under your breath for some fangled new dice mechanic, and let the beginnings of your first potential story in this game start to bubble up in your imagination. 

Not quite review, (definitely) not quite tutorial, my goal with this format is to give you a bit of a feel for what this game might be like to play and how I think about new systems and settings when i'm getting ready to play in them for the first time. 

Enjoy!
