Welcome to The Soloist, a newsletter for players, creators, and curious explorers of solo and GM-less tabletop RPGs.
Shadow dark has built a fantastic community quickly. Impressive to see solo rules developed for them.
I enjoyed the group version of Shadowdark, better than the Old School Essentials that our current GM prefers.
Appreciated the book recommendation, but the Barbarian Prince / Castle Grief mashup…wow!
I'm ashamed to admit I've had both Barbarian Prince and D&D for decades and NEVER thought of combining the two! 🤦
Give both a shot!
I just found Kelsey’s YouTube the other day! Definitely need to check her stuff out.
She's great.
My sense is more to come. The price is right (free), but I agree it could use more - specifically a clear procedure or session loop for solo play.
I need to check out NoteQuest. I've heard good things.
