Children of Grimetail

Heya everyone,

Hope you all had fun with Mythic Starters 2 last week and had some fun 1920's Weird adventures. This week I used a creative suggestion made by Jim: 'Tucker's Kobolds'. 

Recently, I played around with a kobold character in a solo game of Tiny Dungeon and I thought it wo...

Heya, everyone! 

Hope you all enjoyed having a go with Cogpustule's Workshop last week. I recently included a small actual play that covers the first room, if you are interested to see it play out. 

Unfortunately, my family is having to go into quarantine at the moment, so I'm hoping everything ...

Deck of Point Crawl Locations - part 3

Heya, everyone!

I had great fun this week converting more of my solo gaming session notes into part 3 of the Deck of Point Crawl Locations and compile them into the rest of part 1 and part 2. As with the earlier additions, you will probably recognize some of them from my other resources. It was an enjoyable trip down memo...

Heya, everyone,
Hope you all enjoyed the point crawl cards so far! This week's upload is inspired by Amanda Rader's jar of linguistic deliciousness: 'Whisper' and  'Ardent'. Which I thought was really fun to use as the inspiration for a pick-up solo game using Basic Fantasy!
Anyway, what s...

Pointcrawl Locations - card deck prototype part 2

Heya, everyone!

Here is the second part of the point crawl location deck I've been working on. Most of these locations either featured during my own solo campaign, in GMless games with my son or were inspired by your past creative suggestions.

It has been so much fun seeing a lot of these adventure locations again while going through my session notes and putting these cards together...

Something special for you all this week. I've been having a great time solo gaming using Jason Tocci's thematic 2400 games.
