I do love a good solo RPG or solo adventure book. Sooo I went through my extensive list of solo RPGs etc.. and created a Starter Pack! It is currently a short list but there are still a lot of creators who are not on Bluesky yet. If I missed anyone, please let me know! :)

Thanks! I did a lot of research and this one was a "newer" model and it was on sale! I don't buy a lot of Brother products, but their printers are rated highly online. :)

Haha ok phew! I've been thinking about getting a 3d printer but my friend has 6 so I can just ask him to print things for me. Hehe
Paid, of course. 😁

Omg, why did I wait so long to get a laser printer?? 🤯

I can print all of my PDF solo RPGs quickly and bind them with my booklet maker thingy.

Very technical language here LOL

That's where I took the recording but there was no match. :(
But, I only have the North American bird packs downloaded so maybe it is not on there?

ᡣ𐭩 Mandi ᡣ𐭩 @613mandi.bsky.social · 11d

I have never heard this bird song before! Does anyone know the bird? 🐦 🎵 🤔

Deadline - A Clockwork Press GM-less, news- chronicling and map-making TTRPG has arrived! I like that it is written as a newspaper.

Looking forward to trying it out! 😍

🐷 Ham Helsing took a minute to ramp up, but once we got rolling, it was a good time! Deck-building, card- crafting, monster-fighting chaos with quirky characters and wild combos. An overall good time! 🎲🔥

🍷 We played Vineyard: A Winemaking Game and loved it! The shared worker mechanic where everyone controls the characters makes it super interactive. Strategic, smooth, and family-friendly fun.

Another strong showing from designer Roberta Taylor! 🍁

I never played the OG one but I am glad to hear that this version has improvements! The art reminds me of something from my childhood but I cannot think of what it is...lol
