Hello and welcome back to The Solo RolePlayers Podcast. Join me today on this first episode of the new year for another actual play of the much lauded Ironsworn: StarForged.  In this episode, as always, I get a book off my shelf and get it to the table with the minimal amount of preparation possible. I hope to give you an idea of what the game is like and give you some courage to just start playing yourself without getting bogged down in the need to feel like everything is perfect and you are totally prepared (you never are anyway). We do a lot of world building in the ep and give you a feel for what it is like setting up a story with this system, and move into testing out some of the mechanics and getting the story off the ground toward the end.  Hope you enjoy this long overdue play of StarForged.   You can get in touch with me on: soloroleplayerspodcast@gmail.com   Links & Recs If you like this show you might like to check out the podcast that started it all, my Fallout Narrative Solo-RPG Audio Drama A Wasteland Story   Creators that helped me discover this weird and wonderful hobby: Man Alone Boardgames with Thomas - Fallout Series Geek Gamers The Dungeon Dive Lords of the Dungeon (The Secret Cabal) Girls Who Don’t DnD Me Myself & Die   Reading Materials that helped me figure out what the hell I am doing: Mythic GM Emulator 2E Solo Game Masters Guide - geekgamer   Music and Sound Effects in this series are credited to: Epidemic Sound

This could be the push you need to finally get brave, take your pen in hand and actually play!   For this episode of the show I just felt the urge to jump on the mic and talk directly to you, the very nearly solo role-player. Take on the challenge that I have set and refer to the details at the bottom of the show notes.  I also just talk a bit about what I have been playing, what I want to get to the table and some future ideas for the show. This is a Bonus! and won't take away from the SRPP schedule. I just wanted to check in and say gday.   The Solo RolePlayers Challenge: Condition of Entry - You must have never successfully sat down and solo-role played a whole session. (you'll know it when you see it) Pick a game (small recommended but can be anything). Set everything up and just before you start, hit record on voice memo's or similar and then...: 1. Introduce yourself (real first name or screen name), say where you are and that you are taking on the solo role-players challenge 2 Briefly introduce the game you have chosen, perhaps why, and say how you are feeling. Nervous? Excited? Overwhelmed? 3. Stop recording and play a session. If you hit a wall push through. Fudge rules. Ret-con, whatever you need to do to keep going for 'a sessions' worth of time (again you'll know it when you see it) 4. Hit record again and briefly tell us about your experience. Easier/Harder than you thought? Things that tripped you up, worked well...how do you feel now? What's next?  [Try and keep each section short and sweet, I am going for like 30 secs maybe? but no punishment for going over....you might just get edited] Wrap it up in your favourite audio format (whatever it comes out as is fine, I can make most things work) and email it to:  soloroleplayerspodcast@gmail.com by Sat 21st Dec and I will see about putting everything together and releasing it as an episode for the new year. If you have any questions don't hesitate to reach out! Now go. Book in slot into your calendar and I'll hear from you soon. -PJ

Hello Solo RolePlayers! On todays episode I try something new and grab a book off my shelf, spend an hour familiarising myself with the basics and making a character and world setup....and then JUST PLAY. WhiteBox is an OSR (Old School Revival) RPG based on the original basic/advanced D&D (as far as I know...not an expert) I had a lot of fun both playing and making this episode and my goal for you the listener is to show you that you can just jump in and start playing without committing to learning all the rules first.  This is something I plan to keep trying out with different games so if you enjoy this style of episode please reach and and let me know! soloroleplayerspodcast@gmail.com

On today's episode of The Solo RolePlayers Podcast I have for you another Interview with one of the wonderful content creators who helped inspire me to actually start playing.  One of the original Narrative/Actual play podcast creators Jon from Tale of the Manticore.  We talk about his journey into solo roleplaying, the development of Manticore, and a few easter eggs and teasers about where his show is heading next.  Jon also had some great recommendations for other solo play podcasts in a similar vein to his, the links to which you can find below.     CONTACT: soloroleplayerspodcast@gmail.com   LINKS: Tale of the Manticore A Wasteland Story Errant adventures  Legend of the bones Legends from the fireside Stories from the first watch Swords against madness  

Hello and welcome back to The Solo RolePlayers Podcast. I am thrilled and humbled today to bring you the creator of the very system that unlocked solo roleplaying for me personally. Tana talks about her discovery of rpg's as a child, the story of Mythic, how it was gradually created over the years and why it turned out to be the unique system it is today.  She also talks a little about the upcoming 2nd edition of the Mythic Roleplaying game (Mythic Red) and what the new definitive edition is attempting to achieve.  I had such a lovely chat with Tana and found it fascinating to hear the origin story of this system I didn't know I needed until I tried it.
