Wow a ton of new followers here so worth another introduction.

Hi I'm Croaker RPGs, a one toad shop doing solo RPGs.

I write the Lone Toad, a twice a month newsletter focusing on (you guessed it) solo RPGs.

I also design and release solo RPGs, like Queenless.

Husk.
Armour -d4. Friends & does must test DR12+TGH or run in terror.

Skin of a friend or loved one. Tanned and Hardened. In poor light or distance it somewhat resembles the unfortunate donor.

Up close, the illusion fails.

Get lost in a book with SPINE, a solo RPG artifact game where the book is the game! It’s a pretty cool concept and an idea this frog loved from @backwardsttrpg.bsky.social!

Check it out!

Howl - Unclean Scroll
Like rusty nails in your Ear. For D4 rounds ALL creatures within 10ft drop to the ground, incapable of thought or action. All take D6 damage and bleed from their ears for D6 days.
And yes that means the castor also.

What blooms from a dead man;
Can cut the silence;
But can give you a hard look?

Daggers of course.

Dead Man's Dagger: 1d4 damage
The lowest dagger can kill the highest king.

When your random planet generator in Five Parsecs from Home sends you to a jungle planet but you have no jungle terrain.

Swimming thrashing floating
In a pot
Screaming and simmering
A meal for today
But what about tomorrow?
Nay, today this frog will do.

"Suffer not the heretic to live! Their words are a cancer on the Empire of Man. Trust in your God Emperor and you will be amongst the heroes of the Empire!"

Custom crafted terrain just brings the scene alive. Quite happy with it.

Just painted this dude also. Such a fun model.

You could totally write a story and play solo RPGs. Check out a journaling rpg like Thousand Year Old Vampire

Hey want to become a player everyone wants to play with? Maybe try out a few Solo RPGs?

Sounds counter productive but solo RPGs help you build skills that can make you the player people want at their table.

Some hobby updates. My townhouses are mostly complete. The removable tops will give them a lot of versatility for a game like Mordheim or Five Leagues from the Borderlands.

Now to find a group to play with...

Alright i've thrown my hat into the ring for the Cassette jam. Cashettee is a game about metal music and a nasty demon who is trying to eat your hopes and dreams.

Yes! I love this Jam. You know what they say 'if someone invites you to a Jam, you gotta do it'

I don't know if they say that.

Croaker RPGs @croaker-rpgs.bsky.social · 23d

Would love a creative meet up. I need to put and about now. Work on the house can wait! Chat to you in discord.
