I enjoyed "A Guide For New Solo Roleplayers" article. Lots of great insights and tips! I've been solo roleplaying for two years and this article helped a lot. Solo (and non-solo) RPGing have "noodle-ly" concepts that take time to grok. Thanks Tana!
Thank you Sean :) I was a bit skeptical at first of writing that article, I figured anyone reading the magazine wouldn't need it. But I quickly realized that it kind of doesn't matter how long you've been doing this, there are so many ways to look at it and understand it that all of us can benefit from a fundamentals discussion. I learned something just writing it! That's something else I love about solo roleplaying, there is no end to what you can learn and understand about it.
Happy to see an a guide for new solo roleplayers after having just made the plunge myself.
Welcome to the wonderful world of solo roleplaying :)
Are print copies of the magazine available to buy? Or would you mind if I had a single copy printed and bound for my own use? I have to limit my screen-based reading time because of migraines! 🙏
Please feel free to make printed copies for yourself! I know quite a few Mythicists print and bind magazines in their own ways. There aren't individual printed copies, but they do get collected in 6 issue Compilations that have print editions. I'm sorry about your migraines, you have my sympathy for sure.
The Society Crafter reminds me of the Anime called "Kino's Journey." It's about a traveler who visits various cultures solely to experience those cultures. I think this might make an interesting idea for a solo session where I'm a Traveler, and I can use the Society Crafter to create each culture.
That sounds like a great adventure :) I did a similar solo adventure many years ago, where my PC simply traveled and got to know each new place she ended up. It was one of the most enjoyable solo roleplaying experiences I ever had. I think the Society Crafter would plug into that very nicely, providing more detail to make the experience richer.
Looking forward to reading this one!
I'm going to get a lot of use out of this. Been just rolling cities off NPC tables for a while and something more precise for that is great.
