Solo: [My Favourite Pilot!!]

Content Warning: Death.
It’s August, it’s nonbinary TTRPG month, and we’ve got so much planned. 2 conventions, a Ray’s birthday, some collaborations with other nonbinary folks, and a new product release from Ray.

And to make it even more fantastic; we’re going to be bringing you 4 episode of our new series Solo. This series is all about exploring single player RPGs, and highlighting this innovative and avant garde area of RPG design.

This week we’re playing My Favourite Pilot!! A game by Sophie Mallinson that was made as part of the Emotional Mecha Game Jam. It’s a tight little game about how we respond to the loss of celebrities, and their impact on our growth.

Solo is a new series from us where Ray will be taking a closer look at single player RPGs. The first season of this new show will look at Solo RPGs from the Emotional Mecha Game Jam.

We hope you like this new series, and if you’ve got feedback we’d love to hear it.
