My Solo RPG Journey: Moving to Substack

Hey there people who actually read this. I have decided to go ahead and start moving my Solo RPG posts over to Substack. I am going to be updated the “My Solo RPG Journey” page to link to the Substack posts for those entries slowly, and all new entries will go up over there. Simply put, there is a large Solo RPG community over there, and it has its own ecosystem and setup unlike WordPress which…

My Solo RPG Journey: Kal Arath. The Search for the Nagha Scrolls, Days 1 to 5.

The day was hot, and the wind blew in from the northwest.  The tavern Vrax has left was a distant spot to the south now, and Vrax was alone, out here on the plains.  He walked with purpose, however, knowing that somewhere out in this sea of grass and stone he would find the Scrolls.  They HAD to be here.  They MUST be here.  The demon had promised him.  Power and knowledge beyond mere mortals,…

My Solo RPG Journey: Kal Arath. Overview and Character Creation

Check out Kal Arath here! Good morning, afternoon, or evening imaginary readers! Today it’s time for yet another new rules lite game, Kal Arath.  This one kept getting talked about in the Blackoath Discord, so I finally decided to spend the $5 on Itch and pick up the base game. Kal Arath is another d6 based rules lite zine styled game, similar in feel mechanically to Notequest and 4AD but with…

My Solo RPG Journey: NoteQuest. Overview and Character Creation

Welcome to another entry o imaginary readers!  I know I said I was going to take a break but I got inspired, what can I say! Today, we are going to be going over something very lightweight: NoteQuest.  What is NoteQuest?  Well if you really wanna find out, the basic game is 100% free right here.  Seriously, you could go grab this game and play it for yourself.  If you want the more “Advanced”…

My Solo RPG Journey: Status Update #2

Greetings imaginary readers! So I am taking a short break (only a day or two, really) from actually playing after losing Tella.  It’s always hard when a character you are invested in, in a TTRPG, passes away.  At least in Tella’s case it was an epic fight against a powerful foe, and the dice fell as they were wont to do. How I felt when it happened yesterday: Continue reading My Solo RPG…

My Solo RPG Journey: Ruthless Heavens, Boundless Fate. Tella's Final Fate

Good day everyone!  It’s time for yet another entry in my Ruthless Heavens, Boundless Fate play journal and boy howdy did my last session give me a doozy.  I gotta deal with mad spiders attacking my Temple, and figure out where they are coming from. Lets dive right in, no time to waste!  We got spiders to deal with!  This entry might actually be pretty short, depending on how things go with the…

My Solo RPG Journey: Ruthless Heavens, Boundless Fate. Exploring Varlock 12

Welcome back to any of the imaginary readers out there who actually read these monstrous things.  Today, I am going to be doing another Hexploration in Ruthless Heavens, Boundless Fate, but I am going to be doing a fully randomized one!  So we will be going through the creation process of a randomized Hex Map for RHBF and seeing how Tella tackles it. The place is Varlock 12.  If you don’t…

My Solo RPG Journey: Ruthless Heavens, Boundless Fate. Erakos, the Forge Awaits.

It’s time for Tella to start their journey as an Ascendant. And their first stop? Erakos, the Forge. One quick note: Speed in RHBF is in meters…for example, walk speed is my Dex stat in meters. Tella has an 18, so 18 meters. During combat I will most likely play using each “square” of the combat grid to be equal to 1 meter. This means that Tella can WALK 18 squares, or RUN 36. That’s insanely…

My Solo RPG Journey: Ruthless Heavens, Boundless Fate. Character Creation and Game Overview

Ok, I think this game is going to fit me a bit better then Salvage and Sorcery. Again, I want to make clear I do not regret buying that game, just that its not what I am after at this moment. But Ruthless Heavens, Boundless Fate (going forward will be referred to as RHBF) is a much more interesting beast. Also full disclosure but I got a review copy from Alex T of Blackoath games. Somehow, I…

I picked up the physical copy recently, and got the PDF Copy when I did that, so I have been reading it over and wanted to give it a go, and take a break from Riftbreakers.

Learning Riftbreakers 2nd Edition: The Hunt for Ore, Herbs, and Rifts!

Alright a couple of updates. Apparently I need to keep in mind that I can only change my loadout outside of combat (which makes sense) and once per day. I keep my loadout pretty standard though and the last time I changed it was adding in the Companion skill so really, that’s fine. I usually just post it so people know what I got in there. I also found out I can try to gather both Ore AND HERBS…

Learning Riftbreakers 2nd Edition: Helping a Farmer.

Greetings imaginary readers! Today, I am going to start Keld’s session with some a custom quest. That’s right! My plan here is to create a quest of my own, a custom Monster Hunt, based on the interaction with the farmer from the last session. I am going to assume that they did in fact post a job to hunt down the bandits who stole their livestock, and I am going to roll that up, and do a sort of…

Greetings readers! I am surprised people are reading this but hey, thanks. In this entry I am going to go over how I got my Epic Item identified, as well as a house rule I am adding to the game, and then we will be going over the hub city of Kar Helos and what kind of stuff I can find, and what kind of stuff I can do. I am going to be taking Alex’s advice of just getting a straight Quest, and…
