Dragonbane RPG Solo Playthrough (Using Alone in Deepfall Breach solo rules)

In this video I use the solo rules included in the core box to play through the Dragonbane RPG. I also share a little of my home-brew world, the Isle of Avelonia.

Great play through Justin! I had heard that Dragonbane is pretty lethal!

lol yeah I got my backside handed to me 😀. Sign of a great game, you get walloped and still had a good time!

Hey Justin! My copy of Dragonbane arrived today. I also found your channel today. This video makes me feel even better about my purchase! Thanks for making this.

[@booksbricksandboards783]

It is a very good mid crunch level RPG with some good legs as far as solo play goes! Good luck!

This was so much fun. Im glad i bought this game. Also, ive been trying to watch actual plays a lot and what ive learned is that solo actual plays are far superior to group plays. I really like the action more than all the chatting that happens in group plays.

[@booksbricksandboards783]

Dean, I found that it played like a leaner version of Forbidden Lands with a d20 instead of dice pool. I think it invalidated Forbidden Lands for me (personal preference).

Thank you for actually playing the game and not just using it as a creative writing aid. Evade isn't a contested roll, so it wouldn't have been necessary to roll for the spider even if the halfling had succeeded. The Army of One ability says "when fighting alone", so I believe it's not meant to be used when fighting along side NPCs. Of course, you're your own GM, so dowatchuwant.

Thanks!

Great vid of Dragonbane! I know it's been a few months but I was wondering if the whole box set could be played solo? Or by one person?

[@booksbricksandboards783]

Thanks! Boxed set comes with an Oracle (which you could use to make GM decisions for solo play of any content), and also a special solo adventure randomizer(which is pretty cool). Could be played solo or co-op.

Lots of fun! I have Dragonbane but haven’t read through the rules yet. Is the DM screen a good investment for solo play? If so, I need to order one of those soon. Keep up the great content.

[@booksbricksandboards783]

I think it is. The “Typical NPC” panel is great for generating enemies on the fly. It also has a good variety of different tables for Demons and mishaps and whatnot. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for this! Just getting into Dragonbane Solo, so good to see a playthrough example. This really does capture old school fun of dungeon diving!
