The solo gaming community is one of, if not THE most welcoming community I have ever being a part of and I'm so glad for channels like this. And I believe the large volume of indie developers show just how much this community crave and care for new ideas and games.

[@TheDungeonDive]

Absolutely my favorite thing about doing this.

[@blackoathentertainment5617]

Thank you so much for featuring my work in one of your videos once again! Especially in such good company, I own a few of the other games you presented here, haha.

[@12345gerrard]

There are so many RPG's now coming from so many people. Its like we are being flooded with games!

[@12345gerrard]

Plus I am greatful so greatful that game designers are taking solo play very seriously! Because solo play I think is just as important or maybe even a little bit more important than group play!

[@perplexingruins]

thank you so much for showing Gnome :) what began as a quick patreon game of a few pages grew pretty quickly! you can actually roll the regions randomly, which is how the world map gets built, then use the almanac to learn about what you rolled! Cartographers looks really neat, going to look for that one. Of course, Alex T. is one of the most generous creators out there, creating all kind of worlds for folks. I receive my False Prophet this week too, and pretty sure LoDs is going to be my big winter campaign game, cause its just loaded! Your comments about Unbound rules: I see comments all the time in board game forums / reddit about how bad rules are, for like major companies, with super popular games, so it just seems to be a thing...editing and 2nd pair of eyes cannot be overstated. Great vid :)

[@blackoathentertainment5617]

Thank you for your kind words! I'm really glad to see you creating such unique and flavorful games all the time.

[@12345gerrard]

Plus the amount of content to help people solo play is simply amazing!

[@SeekersHollow]

Thank you for sharing these! All great looking indie games. Cartograph - what a great theme for a game. I picked up the Atlas edition! Ker Nethalas is of course my favorite 😈

[@blackoathentertainment5617]

Thank you!

[@simontemplar3359]

I would not be surprised if you teach because your videos are always thought provoking and well and clearly explained. That's not something everyone is good at, so thank you for sharing your knowledge and time!

[@GeekGamers01]

You are not wrong… I have taught in my life though that’s not what I do now. I do love teaching! Thanks for noticing. :)

[@simontemplar3359]

@@GeekGamers01 right on! I survived 4 semesters as a grad assistant and I miss being in the classroom so much!

[@12345gerrard]

Great video totally enjoyed it watched it all start to finish

[@freethrall]

Wow! I've just been reading Gnome. Looks really great. Hoping to play a solo session with it soon.

[@12345gerrard]

If he doesn't do leveling up rules just do it and add it as a fan rule!

[@GeekGamers01]

Yes well that is easier said than done based on the mechanics of the game. I’ve tried a variety of different house rules for leveling up in the 10+ years I have played the game and none work right. They either overpower the PCs or make no mechanical difference in the end…

[@12345gerrard]

@GeekGamers01 well it's good that you have tried!

[@12345gerrard]

Where did you get the map cards from plus all the decks you showed in this video please?

[@GeekGamers01]

Ordering information for all games shown is in the video description

[@12345gerrard]

@GeekGamers01 I know that but I didn't see a link for the cards though

[@GeekGamers01]

I link to the publisher’s websites for all the games, but if they no longer offer the content then you would have to contact them directly. The cards are part of Ker Nethalas.

[@12345gerrard]

@GeekGamers01 OK thank you

[@SeekersHollow]

@@12345gerrard Pretty sure the Ker Nethalas cards are available on DriveThruRPG. At least they were last I checked.
