In my humble opinion, I think you should consider reordering this playlist. I listen to things while I do other stuff, so allowing them to just play one after the other instead of having to basically go backwards when one video ends is a lot more useful. And I don't think I am alone in this. In any case, excellent stuff.

When I got started, I had the thought of everything is playing. It really takes the pressure off. Sometimes I look of the mythology of a creature, or draw a picture, or read up on the weather in Alaska and how to build an igloo. I find solo RPGs give a lot of freedom in that way.

I found a great set of rules ( I think from the author of Scarlet Heroes , but a youtuber displayed them in practice) that you could use for solo. I am using them and it's going great. 1) You divide incoming damage by 5. if you get a decimal point, you add 1 to the damage. So 1-5=1, 6-10 = 2, etc. 2) You can attack twice per turn 3) Your first HP roll is maxed out. So if you are 1d6, your health starts at 6+CON. I dont know if you are supposed to do this on all HP increments, but I don't. Just at level 1. Supposedly you can also increase your damage, but I haven't done this yet. Only those 3 rules have allowed me to play a solo elf ranger just fine. Also I kind of removed the wandering monster roll unless I make loud noises, and other homebrew stuff. Just thought I would let you know about this stuff maybe you haven't considered. Perhaps you are ok with dying so much but in all fairness the game is designed for a party of 4, and we are playing 1-2 characters.

If you love this tone, you'll go crazy on MÖRK BORG. So many grim, dark supplements for it also that makes it deep enough to bury you alive. Actually, just last year I ran a MB adventure where they woke up in the bone pit, deep in ancient temple for an ancient god of death. It was a processing center to separate the components of the dead for future elixirs and other merchandise for the obscenely wealthy. They have to adventure to win their skin, muscles, and fat and rebuild themselves into the semblance of a living being. That was just the beginning. To truly be sentient, they had to claim a soul and in doing so, claim someone else's past and class level.

evil of illmire looks really fun, may i ask where you got it from. :)
Call, remember the publisher, but I bought it directly from the author.
I have played many game of 4AD and have always had fun. It is a great game to create your own support material.
The creative possibilities for that game are indeed very diverse and invite personal takes unlike other solo ruleset.
It's great to see you playing 4AD. Before discovering Ker Nethalas, it was the game I was always playing. Love it.
It was one of my 1st solo pen & paper game! I have literally all of the books and supplements!
Thanks for tipping me off to the Starsmith book! I don’t know how I missed it but I expect it to be an excellent oracle for my own games, including my Five Parsecs from Home sessions.
Oh yea! Starsmith is great! Glad I could steer you on the right path :P
A tea-less episode!?! The horror! I really enjoyed the monster picking. Every card conjured adventures in my brain.
Yea, I know. It was in between sessions and I had forgotten to refill my mug.
I completely agree and familiar with a lot of these thought patterns. Despite really getting into the flow once I’m playing a solo games like Ker Nethalas or Ironsworn, or Starforged, (Or now Sundered Isles); there is a huge amount of decision paralysis before I actually decide to actually choose what to play, and my TTRPG pdf list is starting to look a lot like my Steam Library of unplayed games.
Oh yea- thankfully I’ve gotten better than when I was using Steam- that was literal hundreds of unplayed games. Lol
Hmmm, weird, a torch should only last for 30 minutes, about 3 rooms with encounters.
A regular torch or lamp will last 20 rooms. Pg 84 of the core rules. It’s candles that only last 10 rooms.
If you love this tone, you'll go crazy on MÖRK BORG. So many grim, dark supplements for it also that makes it deep enough to bury you alive. Actually, just last year I ran a MB adventure where they woke up in the bone pit, deep in ancient temple for an ancient god of death. It was a processing center to separate the components of the dead for future elixirs and other merchandise for the obscenely wealthy. They have to adventure to win their skin, muscles, and fat and rebuild themselves into the semblance of a living being. That was just the beginning. To truly be sentient, they had to claim a soul and in doing so, claim someone else's past and class level.
I love Mork Borg! I’ve used it for sone solo stuff awhile ago.
Not finished yet but will do! Wanted to say this one deserves some positive attention!! I play this one once in a while. Normal mode by the way😅.. Usually when I travel. Fits in a bag easily. It has a push your luck system with some 'tactical' choices how to use your resources or which cards to take. It's those choices and turning the cards that makes this game. Never know what shows up.
Finished. Shame you didn't play lvl 3 and 4 but would have been a long run and a repetition. Think you played it in Normal mode since you never used the Easy mode adaptations.
