Happy #SoloRPGDay! Though it's built for two players, the single player experience in our game Glatisant is part of the original Carta system. Play as the Knight Errant seeking the silent Beast and after the game determine the Beast's true motivations for your Knight.

A banner image for Glatisant's solo mode. The text reads "Play as the Knight following the trail of the silent Beast. Answer questions about the Beast's motives at the end of the game." The text is flanked by deer-like tracks with cloven hoof marks, as well as a pennant-shaped flag.

We're about $300 away from our stretch goal at 6k! Help spread the word to unlock the journaling sticker sheets and upgraded print and play materials

A screenshot of the Glatisant Kickstarter page showing the funding bar at $5,697 (nice), 175 backers and 13 days to go.

Beneath and in front of the sticker sheet mockup are two folded paper standees showing the knight and beast illustrations, these are tent-style figures that are printable at home to play the game with.

New for Solo Sept: I Crave The Loop by @brightbard.bsky.social
🥣
A soulslike game in which you must protect the integrity of your midnight snack (your Loops) from the bottomless maw of a many-eyed cat(ish) Creature. Two stats, FLEE and FEAST, move you thru the map. A precious genre: horror comedy!

The cover of I Crave the Loop, a snacktime roguelike by Jon Boyle. The title is in a silly, white and red cartoon-inspired font that looks like liquid. The image is spilled milk on a wood floor. Multicolored cereal floats in the milk and little pawprints track away into the darkness

An example of the interior of I Crave The Loop. On the lefthand page, explanations for how to use Items, as well as the beginning of the explanation for your characters Origins (a midnight snacker, a night owl). On the righthand page, more possible Origins (a gamer, the work from home, the third shift, the sleepwalker). This page also includes an image at the top of a person wearing socks and sweatpants crouching into the light of an open fridge.

Believe games are for gettin weird? Try an unexpected RPG like

🎖️Tail-End Charlie - @planesailinggames.com, live through WWII as a tail gunner
🥣I Crave The Loop - @brightbard.bsky.social, a soulslike scramble to save your midnight snack

The cover of Well Made. A script-style font for the title against a plain white backround. An elaborate border of flourishes flows down the lefthand side and across the bottom

The cover of Tail-End Charlie, a solo game about the tail-gunners of Bomber Command, by Alex White. The image is a black and white photo of a World War 2 airplane
