Finally in a mood to get back into some solo games!

Playing these in the same morning is wild. Hard pivot from classical music to the Tenet OST

If you’re okay with a really unique D&D game, @planetarcanapod.bsky.social. If you’ve want short, focused seasons, I would suggest @manysidedmedia.bsky.social’s My First Dungeon
