Hey, thanks for all the positive comments, folks! Means a lot to me that all you people are getting something good out of this little experiment of mine. I’ll try and keep ‘em coming once a week.

[@christophercobb8008]

Out of curiosity, where did you get the "threads" concept? I'm thinking it must be a Savage Worlds game mechanic and I definitely like it, but I did an internet search for it and have come up negative. Thanks!

[@MeMyselfandDieRPG]

It’s from the Mythic GM Emulator.

[@christophercobb8008]

@@MeMyselfandDieRPG Thank you, sir! I'll take a closer look at the book.

[@lukedorrington7455]

Only just found this series I'm trying to learn to play dnd 5e solo and this is going to be a huge help, thankyou sir

[@TheBayzent]

Thank you so much for this. I'm new into solo rpging and was overwhelmed with Mythic. Somehow you have made it feel less daunting.

[@namtellectjoonal7230]

within 20 minutes or less I was so attached to Wilborg that I was actually kinda sad when he died ;-;

[@skinblanketed]

SPOILERS 😉

[@itsamejonarbuckle]

I've always had a little problem watching big group D&D games personally, in that there's always just too much going on and it usually ends up giving me the sensation of "feeling left out of the friend group", but this series has allowed me to be a lot more immersed and feel like I'm actually a part of something, that I'm really involved with the story even if I'm only just watching. Great stuff, honestly.

[@shaneintheuk2026]

My problem with group RPGs on KZbin is they drag on for hours without any real action. Solo seems much more focused.

[@mattpace1026]

@@shaneintheuk2026 Okay, you clearly don't actually play TRPGs, so I have to ask, why are you interested in watching other people playing them?

[@StevanEC]

So, do you need to play TTRPGs in order to enjoy and watch other people playing them? @@mattpace1026

[@blakeharp2255]

This episode is a great example of how things going “so wrong” in the beginning can make for an epic story!

[@wbbartlett]

That was a LOT more entertaining than watching a bunch of people sit around and discuss which minor action their character is going to take. Nicely done.

[@Arjay82]

And constantly go off topic and ramble.

[@diogenesstudent5585]

Mostly in jokes. "Jokes"

[@danj1101]

Man, doubling back to this first episode - it really shows the beauty of solo play that this whole thing could've gone a COMPLETELY different direction had Simon simply tried the social approach to free Vilborg! A totally different season, right there.

[@luyandolove]

You know I just finished binge watching the entire series for the first time, and when I first saw this comment I was like. “Haha funny comment” But now… I’ve realized that you were right all along.

[@omegaminoseer4539]

Hello, Trevor! I watched this episode with my boyfriend. He was very engrossed in seeing Sgt. Garrick and the town get wiped off the face of the map, forever. We both can't wait to see the future of the story as time continues.

[@abefroman81]

I'm watching this in the break room at work and everyone looks at me as I chuckle at the dramatic cry for Vilborg.

[@tarcisiolucas5119]

Hello, Trevor! I am Tarcisio , from Brazil. I have a channel here about solo RPG (in portuguese language) , and I can say your channel is one of the most wonderfull things I have seen related to this way of playing rpgs! A wonderful video indeed! Here in Brazil we have a small but very engaged and dedicated solo rpg community, and we will be always watching your videos. Thank you very much!

[@rolanejo8512]

Tarcisio, boa noite. I am a Colombian player who is considering solo rpg. I can probably understand the Portugese. Where can i find actual solo play in Portugese?

[@tarcisiolucas5119]

[@silversungaming9451]

Watching through this series again in anticipation of season 4!

[@alexmullan7555]

One of the most entertaining shows I have ever watched. Funny and made me see how soloable RPGs can be!! I'm inspired

[@PacifierMusic]

I’m so into this concept now. I don’t have a gaming group but I have tons of RPG books. I want to play and just picked up Mythic. Thanks for posting. I’m excited to get started playing solo.

[@ThredithUndomiel]

OMG, your show is everything I've ever wanted to see as part of the Solo RPG community! Thank you, and subscribed!

[@StreetShots79]

I’m 10 mins deep into this and already I’m hooked. Such good editing and the guy is great. Better than most group play through vids

[@MeMyselfandDieRPG]

The guy says thanks :)

[@wispsprojects1120]

I just finished watching S3 last night and I'm back here for some nostalgia. Simon's infamous luck really showed from the very beginning huh.

[@Reckoner68]

When I put this on I didn't expect to find a favorite new series. This was awesome! I can't wait to catch the further adventures, WHAT AN OPENING--it's crazy how so many things going wrong can suddenly raise the stakes, emotionally

[@mattjackson]

This is great and probably the best example of the GM Emulator I've seen. Thank you for doing this and will certainly watch more. Great job!

[@shwantheman1173]

Ooo I didn't even know that Mythic GM Emulator was a thing! very cool.

[@TheAshrole]

Fantastic production values, great narration and presentation, surprisingly engaging (for a one-person show) and (perhaps predictably) excellent voice work. Get yer arses in gear and watch this - looking forward to episode two!!

[@YodraStudios]

Wonderful to go back to the beginning again

[@ianbyrne465]

Coming back to relive the legend from the beginning

[@patrickbarnes9874]

Absolutely awesome! I have watched other solo rpg videos and the people doing them have always filmed the entire thing with the camera pointed at the table. Doing it with the camera pointed at the player is so much more engaging with being able to see the player's reactions and facial expressions to what is going on. Really enjoyable!

[@ChuckstaGaming]

I can see this would be excellent for writing stories!

[@richardvambasters483]

I'm impressed! I could've never have imagined how a solo game could be this fun. Great show!

[@vancass1326]

just recently i bought mythic, and have used this particular mm&d/episode 1 to follow along. this has helped me immensely in creating my own solo rpg. i’ll be using it with “the fantasy trip” that i’ve played for many years. thanks :-)

[@scottwarren3948]

TFT is aces

[@iankemp2143]

Watched through the second season, but wanted to come back and watch again where it all began with Simon. Love the stuff Trevor!

[@NerdishNature]

“In a world where gods demonstrably exist, being and atheist seems like a bold choice.” 😂

[@tobarstep]

I like what you said about logic and interpretation obviating the need for the emulator. I think the minis actually helped in this case as well as they allow you to better visualize the flow of the action. I've never used minis in my solo play, but I think I may start. Thanks for teaching me something!

[@hujands]

Solo!?! ...... I'm in!

[@hujands]

Also, I love the energy of this. Going to have to up my game. Keep these vids coming!

[@johntheherbalistg8756]

Holy crap, I'm so hurt for Simon, right now. Poor Wilborg!

[@malkaviangrin9440]

I just found this series. This is really done well. I've been getting into solo play using Mork Borg and it's interesting to see what Mythic GM can do differently. And Trevor is a joy to watch!!

[@Pr0pheT77]

Where it all begun. Just watched the S3 finale

[@carpepoulet4943]

Well, there was 30 min I should have been working... but instead I was enjoying this. No regrets. Well worth the watch and impressive for a first episode. I look forward to seeing your story develop... as long as it doesn't cut into the RL table time.

[@ACDieppa]

I'm sitting around waiting for season 3 and decided to go back to where it all started. And I'm happy I did 😊

[@kyleabrams9480]

And this is what we call adhd at its most entertaining. I like the randomness.

[@northlite1734]

Season one great opening Trevor I told you I would be here haha 😂

[@mavfan21]

Started rewatching these to get a handle on Savage Worlds as I am using it now for my solo campaigns. It is jarring how quickly it became apparent that "Simon Sucks". 😞

[@super0chick]

That was a successful play with all the actions and explanation done. Very well done and I appreciate the voice acting very much. Thank you very much for this videos keep on doing it.

[@chopstyx141]

You think I won't restart this series for a third time Trevor?

[@evanfrayne]

Vilborg!!!! Fantastic Trevor- Really cool to see the possibilities of one person gaming, enough production to support the game, but not overwhelm it and, as always, fantastic character work. Looking forward to the next one!

[@arielle2745]

Poor Simon! Poor Willborg! What will happen next? I can hardly wait! That was great to watch. I am solo playing with Mythic now for the past week.

[@mavfan21]

I just finished episode 17 and decided to come back to this episode for fun. It's really fun to refresh my memory on how it all began. None of us, including Trevor, had any idea where this would all end up. Thanks for doing this Trevor! I have decided to dive into my own solo play and more play with my sons thanks in part to these videos.

[@GeekGamers01]

Of course you’re a lefty :). Well done!

Trevor, appreciate I am writing five years after you posted this, but fabulous story and loved the switching accents as well. You had me enthralled and so hoping the half-orc would make it. Well done.

[@moritzwinkler7352]

It is funny that I startet playing solo rpgs because of you and by rewatching this for the upcoming season, I realized the best friend of my first solo character also died in the first session.

I can't remember the last time I was so surprised, enthusiastic and grateful for finding a KZbin channel I didn't expect to...

Anyway, immediate subscribed. Obviously.. Thank you ☺️
