(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!

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.

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.
