Reviews, Previews, Reflections, and Interviews

Here I will post reflections on campaigns I've run and also reviews of different RPGs and RPG products I may try out. 

Reviews

Stoneburner - play a Dwarf as you trudge your way through asteroids and tunnels, and hopefully to the riches they hold.

Ironsworn: Starforged - A create your own universe of epic stories, great adventures and memorable NPCs among the stars. 

Nomadic - Explore. Document. Survive. In this easy to pick up and play Sci-fi RPG with unexpected depth.

Mork Borg with Solitary Defilement - Fight, survive, and try to avoid the inevitable apocalypse all by yourself with Mork Borg using Solitary Defilement solo rules. 

Alone Against the Flames: A Call of Cthulhu solo adventure - A long bus ride. Nothing exciting, nothing out of the ordinary. Until the bus breaks down and you are deposited in an isolated town with a dark history…

Sworn by Ghostlight: Solve Gruesome Murders Solo -  A GMless or Solo RPG built on the Ironsworn system written by Matthew John. You create and play as an investigator in the semi-magical city of Mónaþstone.

My review policy: I don't do reviews of games I don't like, so if I've reviewed a game, you already know I like it. If you are a solo RPG creator, feel free to get in touch with me, I'd be happy to talk about reviewing your game.

I was lucky enough to interview SGH about his PTFO Stonetop Actual Play campaign. If you haven't checked it out, it's an amazing solo actual play that follows three adventurers in an iron-age, low magic setting. SGH puts out a compelling and meaty story nearly every week and it is excellent.
