This is a great and helpful video. I really wish more would put out videos like this! Too often I think content creators assume their audiences just know how and what they are talking about. You’ve provided us all a succinct and visual aide. Thank you very much.

Very glad to help. Roll them 20's (or 1's if you play roll under!)

@@sharpmountaingames9303 might be interesting to see how you do your videos as well for those who are just starting out. Sharing solo live play is one of the best things about solo RPG players.

Thank you for this video! I really appreciate the details. I don't have a lot of space for solo play either - so I have a little A5 binder with all my commonly used tables! Also, a fun tip for battle-mats - get a paper sheet protector, and you can put in any map and draw over top with markers and erase afterwards! I've even done some DIY and converted a portable snakes & ladders mini-kit into a pocketable erasable magnetic battle grid.

Thanks for the tips. My notebook is roughly A5, so keeps everything compact. Enjoy the solo time!

Lots of valuable advice in there! Always fun to have a peek in other soloists' treasure box. Thanks!

Thanks so much. Not a lot in the toolbox, so hope it wasn't disappointing. I just travel light.

Enjoy the journey. It's a great way to relax, even if only for 15 minutes at the end of the day. You'll be surprised at your own creativity.

I have never tried to play TTRPG solo…but you’ve got a nice setup, sir!

Thanks Wes. Give it a try sometime, it's a great way to test out adventures and even systems (and I know about you and systems). Plus I can be sure everyone at the table has bathed recently.

Great ideas, John! I haven't done solo play except Fighting Fantasy days, but I may look into it. Thanks, John!

Definitely give it a try! I thought it was odd the first time I thought about doing it but man it's all I do now. So much fun and so many unexpected twists and developments. Doesn't seem possible but it does come up and it's great!
