[PATREON SNEAK PEAK] Hacking Forbidden Lands - a little experiment with PJSack

Hello Dear Solo RolePlayers, 
I recently recorded a little experimental episode that was going to be just for Patrons but I kinda wanted to give you all out there a bit of an idea of the kind of extra content I am doing and planning to do over there so I decided to make it available to all!
This is my raw thoughts and live play example of me attempting my very first hack of a system...just for fun :)
It's different, it's a little weird, and I don't necessarily recommend my strange hack ideas to anyone. How can you resist. 
If you enjoy this episode I will be releasing part 2 shortly over on the Patreon where you can also find a heap more actual play episodes of a bunch of games including the continued story of Forbidden Lands mentioned here.

#19 [ACTUAL PLAY] - Wilderfeast

Hello and Welcome Back to The Solo RolePlayers Podcast. 
Today on the show we are pulling the Monster Hunter inspired ttrpg Wilderfeast off the shelf and testing the bad-boy out.
I go through the basics of the mechanics and play through a freeplay section where the PC's attempt to stop a stampeding herd from Lemming it off a mountain pass before facing a big monster battle with a fat and then skinny toothy beaver ferret beast. Its cool!

#15 [TOPIC] - Playing Published Adventures with Tana Pigeon (Mythic)

Hello and welcome back to the Solo RolePlayers Podcast. Today on the show I am proud to present the fantastic, inspiring, prolific and downright game-changer to the solo roleplayers hobby, official friend of the show Tana Pigeon to talk all about, and give a live example of that slippery and mystifying of concepts, playing a published adventure solo.
Tana talks through a few of the techniques she has used and written about in the past for how to do this, but also presents a brand new way to play a published adventure solo as written about in her recent issue #50 of Mythic Magazine, the 'Deconstruct the Known' method.
We wrap up the second half of the show by picking an unprepared adventure at random and actually showing off how the new technique works. It was a heap of fun and I am sure it will give you some ideas and confidence to try and do something like it yourself.
Enjoy!
