#6 [ACTUAL PLAY] WhiteBox Part 1 Nov 06, 2024

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!

#5 [INTERVIEW] Tale of the Manticore Oct 23, 2024

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.

#4 [INTERVIEW] Tana Pigeon, Mythic GME 2e Oct 09, 2024

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.

Enjoy!

#3 [ACTUAL PLAY] DragonBane Parts 1 & 2 Sep 24, 2024

Hello and welcome back to The Solo RolePlayers Podcast.

Today I have a special experimental episode for you all featuring and off the cuff (mostly) unedited actual play of me myself and dragonbane.

Please reach out and let me know what you think about this type of episode. I didn't know how it was going to go but I had a heap of fun playing in the end and am keen to play more.

Join Hackelswell and Legoran as the unlikely pair set off on an unwritten adventure in the Misty Vale.

You can reach me on soloroleplayerspodcast@gmail.com with feedback or find me (PJSack) lurking around the solo-rpg reddit thread.

I hope you enjoy this (accidentally) double episode of DragonBane.

#2 [INTERVIEW] - Board Games With Thomas Sep 12, 2024

Today on The SoloRolePlayers podcast I got to have a chat with YouTuber Thomas from 'Board Games with Thomas'

We talk about our experience getting started in solo roleplaying and the flexibility and creativity that solo roleplaying offers.

But it's not long until we go down the Fallout rabbit-hole as we talk about the RPG, playing it with Mythic, and comparing the old and the new video games.

Throw in a bit of StarForged, DragonBane and Forbidden Lands and you got yourself an episode there buddy.

Hello and welcome to this first episode of the Solo RolePlayers Podcast.

I am delighted to launch this show with an interview [read: chat] with one of the first content creators in the solo rig space whom I came across and who indirectly helped me get started playing in this wonderfully unusual hobby.

We talk about what it means to solo roleplay for us, some tips on how to get started, and a lot about the different ways the you can play and compare our personal, and very different, approaches.

Man Alone also talks about some of his solo design projects.

We talk a little about Dragonbane, Ironsworn and Fallout 2D20 and a lot about general solo roleplaying goodness.

You can check out Man Alone's YouTube channel here, and his podcast here on the Man Alone Network.

We also discuss Geek Gamers quintessential solo-rpg book Solo GameMasters Guide.
