Actual Plays, Interviews, and more
Ruins is a game we’ve fallen in love with since playing it.
It’s multi format, with room and support for a lot of different kinds of role play.
it brings you in, so many different ways.
This first look is a bit of an experiment, like the game it focus on.
Something vloggy, that focuses more on Ray’s experiences of playing the game for the first time.
This week I play another Ritual game. This time I’m a wizard trying to change themself into something new, in an attempt to overcome the past.
This is a lovely, poetic, and kind of cossy little game. It’s intimate and tender, yet also brooding and ominous.
It’s a game by Luke Jordan, and outstanding Australian creator who I’ve interviewed twice!
Luke’s having a sale on their game store right now, so buy this game or another over on their store. Continue reading “Solo: [Slough]”
An interesting solo rpg that prompts you to delve deeper into yourself, and come out stronger on the other side…while also fighting capitalism with your cyborg psychic powers.
CW: Extreme Violence and Animal Cruelty.
The Sun of God is about to kick some vampire ass!
VanJesus is an over the top adventure rpg where you play as archetypes of Jesus (or other biblical archetypes.) You hunt vampires in over the top adventures, and try to make the world a…well not safer place. A less Vampire filled place?
It’s a Wild game, and it was a blast getting to play it with Sofi and Wilfred.

First episode back for the new year! We’re playing a solo game. Legacy of steel allows you to build/explore the background of a mech. Detail some of its history and can be a companion tool for other games.

This week’s episode of solo is a super short one!
We’re playing a single person graffiti RPG.
It asks you to put yourself in the role of a pilot, likely about to die in battle, writing your final goodbye on the inside of your giant robots cockpit, like all those that came before you.
And you do this by writing poetry on a building.
Below is a photo of our wall poem, and a full copy of the game.
Play it, if you feel safe enough.
In The Ocean is a micro rpg with prompt cards that ask you to answer questions about the world, or play out scenes from your past.
In it you play as a mech pilot stranded on an ocean planet, watching the battle overhead. As you wait for rescue you remember your past.
It’s a pretty excellent game, and I hadn’t thought about it during the recording but it could be an excellent way to build the setting for a more expansive mech game.
This week is a bonus episode of solo a RPG about a mech being rebooted after a long time alone. We’ll explore that loneliness, andand the new world our mech awakens in.
If you want to play Reclaimed for yourself, you can buy it here. Continue reading “Solo: [Reclaimed]”
CONTENT WARNING: Death, Injury, Fire, War.
(This game REALLY should be played before you listen to the AP, it is totally possible to have this game spoiled for you. Get it here.)
A wonderful, emotional, and atmospheric episode of Solo. Playing through this guided solo RP experience was my FAVOURITE part of this series so far. It pulls together several underused tools of storytelling that we don’t see nearly often enough in RPGs. Not at the mechanical level anyway.
It’s, FANTASTIC!
Content Warning: Death.
All this month we’re airing episodes of our new show Solo, where Ray plays single person RPGs and talks about their mechanics.
This weeks episode explores a poetic RPG that provoked an interesting thought about the power of labels.
You can get you own copy of today’s game, As I Imagine The Falling Rain, here. Continue reading “Solo: [As I Imagine The Falling Rain]”
