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...

Take on the challenge!

Choose your weapon (system and support). Set your timer (20 mins). Prepare your dice. (you already have too many) and a writing implement (a nice one?). Then sit down and PLAY. Play with what you have. FUDGE the rules you don't know. KEEP moving and have a session. Trust Me.

If you feel so inclined record some audio before and after and email to me on Soloroleplayerspodcast@gmail.com or on the speakpipe.

Go forth. And take on the December SoloRolePlayers Challenge!

Hello Dear Solo RolePlayers,

I am proud to present you today a BONUS, extra, additional, on top episode where I have a bit of a chat about whatever is in that solo roleplaying head of mine. New games, upcoming stuff, and a few topics thrown in for good measure. 

Enjoy!

Hello and Welcome Back to the Solo RolePlayers Podcast.

Hope you enjoy the actual play of Kal-Arath.

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 th...

Hello and Welcome Back to The SoloRolePlayers Podcast. Today on the show, in preparation for the official, one and only, never to be repeated first episode of season 2 of the show (nearly finished but not quite) I bring to you today an ancient recording found collecting dust, presumably in some moldering tomb or another, a play I did way back in the early years of the lovely little game Cartograph. 

This is not your heart-wrenching, stomach-churning, drama heavy playthrough, but rather a very cozy walk through this book.
