Though I am a bit passed my experimenting with divination and traditional oracles, I thought it might be interesting to explore them in the context of solo rpgs. I have started adding some to the site. Up first is tarot cards and runes.

While still working on the next session of The Four Generals, I stopped to think about how we’re seeing a fourth or so version of Eustace Delmont, and how the character has changed…
$5.95 gets you four books of an interesting and immensely expandable RPG perfect for those who prefer tags/elements type playing over stricter stats.
I was supposed to be playing The GLOW but I spent my solo play time crafting up a fairly basic, but broadly “all purpose” character sheet for my upcoming Dwarven Halls Campaign.
I am going to take a stab (PUN!) at playing through the new Advanced Fighting Fantasy: Dwarven Halls campaign. It should scratch too itches: to play a longer-form solo campaign based off of pre-written material and to return to Ick + Humb.
