The Complete Soloist

  UltraViolet Grasslands 2E- Wish You Were Here... Welcome back dear fellow traveller, This will be an attempt to catalog my solo travels through the UltraViolet Grasslands 2E. The latest iteration of the setting, UltraViolet Grasslands 2E is a fantastical, psychedelic-metal, point-crawler RPG setting conceived from the brilliant mind of  Luka Rejec  (UVG editor, artist, and writer).   To say that I am very impressed by this setting is an understatement. However, this setting poses some challenges for the new solo player. UVG is more like a finely sketched canvas where the solo player fills in the color and the fine details of this incredible world. UVG offers story prompts, and the rest will be up to the solo player to co-create. There are many useful and creative tables to help you navigate the setting, along with a very detailed and well-organized GM screen to assist with the gameplay. The GM screen also offers detailed sequences of events at each location and discoveries to be made

King Arthur Pendragon - Character Creation, Sir Uren... This is a really neat subsystem from the core book You get to flush-out your ancestry.

King Arthur Pendragon, or KAP for short, is a game system that was not on my radar at all. When I started looking into this game I became smitten. Written by the late Greg Stafford, the legendary game designer of RuneQuest and Glorantha, KAP is considered a critically masterpiece in game design. To say that this RPG garners a relatively niche but passionate group of followers is an understatement. Gamers that discovered this game are still recounting to heroic deeds of their knight in the time of the Arthurian legend. A blurb from the publisher, Chaosium. .. "Relive the grandeur, romance and adventure of the greatest of all legends — the story of King Arthur. Assume the role of a knight starting his career in the time of Uther Pendragon, undertaking quests and perilous adventures for your lord, for your lady-love, for the Church, or for your own glory. Win great renown with your laudable deeds and feats of arms, perhaps even winning the right to carve your name into the Round

The PDF that can be found here: https://diogo-old-skull.itch.io/lost-in-the-deep  ;  Now only $4 USD it’s a steal! The story so far... “ You are the last survivor of a band of dwarven warriors who have come to the lost halls of the Kingdom Under the Mother Mountain, to retake it and rebuild it in the name of your ancestors. After months of wandering the almost endless halls of the dwarven ruins, your band unwittingly set free an ancient evil that lay asleep for generations, and one-by-one, it killed your companions in the most terrifying ways possible.   Now you are lost in the depths of earth, registering your history in the diary of your people. You search for an exit from the mines, but all you can find are endless halls and the damned creatures serving that Evil in the Shadows that awakened and destroyed your people.   Everyday you count your last remaining torches and meals, wander through the infinite halls and mines, and write your memories in your diary. Everyday you

Hello again dear reader, I have to admit to not being very active these past few months with either the blog or solo gaming. The plan is to re-energize my efforts on the latest bug to bite me, Labyrinth Lord (LL) by Goblinoid Games. This retro ruleset harks back to the days of Moldvay/Cook D&D, full of nostalgia and updated rules. More of an in-depth Labyrinth Lord review will come later, but for a quick taste, go directly to the  Goblinoid Games  website for the art-free pdf version. With the purchase of Labyrinth Lord came the following purchases, purely driven out of nostalgia and the desire to play these adventures again! I will say that the PODs (print on demand) from DriveThroughRPG are very good and do justice to the original adventures. Maze of the Riddling Minotaur  This was a fantastic find and one of my first D&D purchases back in 1983. I am looking forward to solo adventuring, minus the invisible ink pen that came with the original adventure. I will tackle
