Mythic Magazine #58 is out loose in the wild! It tackles creating conversation for NPCs in solo games, and features a scenario all about chatter where your PC runs a weird, late-night radio talk show. I love anything "weird" :)

The Lazy Dungeonmaster just did a great segment on Mythic :) I like how he broke it down into the solo intro guide, the one-pager, and the full book. Those are entry points for all levels of players! Nicely done.

I sometimes see players who haven't tried solo roleplay wonder, "How could this work?" It's a tough question to answer, because that "Aha!" moment arrives through trying it. Still, I attempt to answer the question in an article I've posted: www.wordmillgames.com/aguidefornew...

@tanapigeonwmg.bsky.social Mythic GM Emulator is known for being the go-to book for all things solo TTRPG...which means a lot of people ignore because they don't do solo TTRPGing. Well, today I show you the power the book has as a GM Campaign prep tool with an actual example.

I've given up on heroics; it's time to be sensible and rational in Paranoia by @mongoosepublishing.bsky.social. I'll be relying on the #MythicGME by @tanapigeonwmg.bsky.social to run a #solorpg experience. And these "Random Computer Emotion" cards! Join me at youtube.com/live/k2SRNXu...

A series of playing cards representing the emotions of The Computer, benevolent overlord of the role playing game PARANOIA. There are sixteen in total, with emojis in a retro-style computer monitor - Angry, Chill, Happy, Neutral, Upset, Terrified, Confused, Thoughtful, In Pain, Feeling Silly, Sleepy, Suspicious, Concerned, Annoyed, Tranquil, and In Love, which will be used along with the "Computer Die" to see how the Computer is feeling when they communicate with the character.

A new Mythic Magazine is up at DriveThru, and it's back to another solo dungeon crawl. Except, in a castle. Castle crawl? This one gets weird, involving having no memory of how you got there or who you are. I like weird :)

I got word from a Kickstarter I backed that it's almost done, however ... the creator was diplomatic in how they expressed this, but it was clear the tariffs destroyed their profit in this venture. I keep hearing this more and more from creators. The tariffs are crushing small creative businesses.

I started a new solo adventure in a contemporary action setting (kind of like the show Reacher). I realized I almost never play a game that doesn't include powers, magic, supernatural, or something fantastical, so it's kind of refreshing!

I finally finished every challenge in Balatro, including the Jokerless challenge. I'm embarrassed to admit how many hours this took me! Let's just say it's been my "time to take a break" game for quite a while.
