Solo RPG

Something special and intimate. Ray played through a demo of their new game. Solo. It was quite raw and emotional and some of the best podcasting we've done to be honest. 

A great way to see how LLDR plays; Ray explains why they mechanics are what they are. Leading the listener through a guided experience of Mecha Tragedy.

This week Ray wanted to play LLDR again. 
We fixed a few typos, and tried out playing a different number of scenes.

Thanks to Emily for giving Ray an excuse to play, we hope you enjoy this thoughtful and intimate game.

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.

First up is Death Sentence, a game by Jeff Ellis. In it you play as a mech pilot, left behind after helping a colony ship safely escape this sector of space. The enemy approaches, and you have to decide what to do with your final moments...and compose your final words.

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

Solo: [Death Sentence]

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.

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.

(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: https://mossytoes.itch.io/recollection-gloaming )

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!

Solo: [Recollection Gloaming]

[insert quest here] is a Queer Australian podcast that focuses on Role Playing Games. We love telling diverse stories, and so we do our best to lift up the voices of our community by showing off new and innovative games, from a bunch of designers.

We have a lot of Actual Plays, and interviews, and sometime host other content that is harder to define.
