#6 [ACTUAL PLAY] WhiteBox Part 1

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 ...

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

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! -PJ   Links <a href='https://www.wordmillgames.com/page/mythic-gme.html'>Mythic Game Master Emulator 2E</a> <a href='https://www.patreon.com/wordmillgames'>Tana Pigeon on Patreon</a>   ...

#2 [INTERVIEW] - Board Games With Thomas

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.  - PJ   Links: <a href='https://youtube.com/@boardgameswiththomas?si=9MYC5KAS7JFIGx6s'>Board Games With Thomas</a> Thomas' Fallout playthrough <a href='https://www.youtube.com/live/C1denreOvnA?si=usY5-232ZLiSL5yP'>The Lone Wanderer</a> <a href='https://episodes.fm/1748065644'>A Wasteland Story</a> ...
