Fantastic video/chat. Thanks!

The coat of arms has have a seal, right? I'd love for it to be a waffle but a seal feels more appropriate for the world.

I think the one thing I would say that I have learned from Solo RPG play, is it is okay to mash a bunch of stuff together for something unique. And I buy everything Alex T produces. But here is an example, I wanted to a scene to meet a patreon at a tavern. But I really wanted that Tavern to be unique and not just something non-descriptive. So I have bought Broken Cask a while back and even had Broken Cask Society as well. So it offered me a chance to pull out the book and generate a tavern. Now, I got a unique location to return to when needed. So I see a lot of the supplements and solo stuff I purchase as a toolkit to return to when needed. Also, don’t be afraid of changing systems in the middle of what ever game you are playing. Just switch it up. Not everything translates straight through, but that is okay. Maybe it is a flash back or an alternative universe briefly. Lastly, I would say I want to seem more systems embrace group to solo back to group play. Star Trek Adventures / Captain’s Log planted this idea firmly in my mind. Where you have a group adventure that is going on and then between sessions you can do this solo side missions. Seemed like a wonderful idea. Marvel Multiverse also seems like another setting where this should also be possible.

"Love the possibility of what it can be and don't get onto the next step" - this has actually hit me. Now I understood why I like to think of and start new plays but don't usually go further than one or two sessions. I feel excited about the game before it starts, and when it actually gets to playing, it becomes more material and objective, and I get less interested - because its not as flashy and exciting as feelings my abstract fantasies and expectations are. It sounds simple but wow, just how has it striked me. Now, wonder where this piece of mind gets me...

Do you wanna go to war Belaki? Is there a D-nice? 🤣

paly of thirteen gules and argent a chief azure in chief three mullets argent ? 😉 🤓

Video 68 of me liking and then commenting on every new upload to tell the viewers that the Man Alone Podcast is absolutely some of that sweet, unhinged audio/vocal-honey. Psssst. What do we think video 100 of Desert Dweller commenting will be like? Do you think it will be a waffle? Maybe a playthrough? Do we think M.A.Lone curates a video specially for the Desert Dweller 100th comment? Do we think it just might be a video announcing the Discord finally opened (32 videos away from this one LOLOLOLOL)?

Bravo .... this will be Legendary 🎉

Coat of arms =

Dude. 6th century 'English'... ? You couldn't speak it WE sure as *_HELL_* wouldn't understand it 😉😆

Love the intro. Your bri'ish accent likr when you were shouting about onions on the podcast needs to at least come out occasionally?

Nice start bud :-)

I'm 3 months into the soloRPG venture, first two weeks were almost a manic shopping spree, because ttRPGs were a hobby I abandoned some 18yrs ago, and I was speedrunning any% the last 2 decades. Then I came to my senses and realised I'm buying too much into the future and this is supposed to be for me-now, so I became cold, calculating, rational, austere with my fantasies and turned on impulse control. It helped, but not entirely - so I rescoped into "This is a mountain that will keep growing, and it is fine, because I will never,never run out of steps to climb, just don't let me lose sight of the peak". I do think there is a danger of lingering in the impulse-collectivist mindset, and just giving in to compulsive buying without actually starting to play is safe and comfortable, but that's missing the point.

Video 67 of me liking and then commenting on every new upload to tell the viewers that the Man Alone Podcast is absolutely some of that sweet, unhinged audio/vocal-honey. Psssst. Anybody into astrobiology? The study of life, its existence and/or possibility, outside of earth’s atmosphere? Most people jump straight to aliens. But I’m talking about possible life on a microbiological level. Bacteria in a small pool of water on a hospitable planet thousands of light years away. Or plants thriving in the ecosystem of a planet in our neighboring galaxy.

Man this is the one system ive always wanted to do but i heard combat is pretty clunky how do you feel about it

Man you hit the nail on the head im at the buying stuff i wanna try phase. Ive been wanting to do solo for so long but i always just stop right before i start i own well over 200 different rpg systems and solo helpers like mythic and charts, and hearing your view that for just a little bit im not me but this person going on an adventure, so im gonna start my Battletech rpg adventure as a pilot for the SLDF at the start of the Reunification War, wish me luck ;)

Your description of the “I keep buying new games but I never play them…” phase is so spot on. I’ve been feeling that, and struggling to accept the next step, but the way you described what you might do with your copy of Troika someday really struck a chord with me. Earlier today I had a moment where I was looking at my collection of unplayed books, and I just had this feeling of happiness wash over me that kind of came out of nowhere, and I just thought “I love my books.” I think a big part of that was finally doing a solo session for the first time yesterday :)

I've got a work trip coming up shortly - I think it's going to be White Box or BFRPG coming with me on that one.

Man, if all they give you is $30 for this, you are getting ripped off. I've only gotten 10 minutes in, and had three ad breaks

I finally played my first session of solo play last night after trying and failing to start over the past few months. What struck me most was…how excited I was to find out what happened with each roll and how often I decided I didn’t need to roll for what happened next, I just knew what made the most sense and was most interesting to me. I liked my own ideas. Your videos gave me the push I needed, especially your videos like these. Thank you for helping me enter this world and helping me realize that I don’t enjoy spending time with myself, and I might want to change that. Thank you for your vulnerability and your unfiltered thoughts on psychology, solo roleplaying, and everything else.

What does that Stream Deck do?

"Fourth," he said cautiously, knowing that it meant nothing but what it meant to himself and his story.

Third. Good morning from Germany
