Amazing band, one of the best gigs I've gone to this year.

I always liked the Monty Python one, and want to try the pirates themed one. Fluxx games are really fun indeed.

UK maybe?

Depending on what I am looking for:

• BBC Radio 6: mainly new stuff, although I have been surprised with very good oldies.
• The newsletter To the teeth for all things metal https://totheteeth.substack.com/ The playlist in spotify is really good too.
• Last.fm, even if it's not as used anymore, I still find very good recommendations there.
• Spotify Discovery playlist has surprised me a lot in the past, but not that much lately. It suggests me what I was in the mood to listen to last week, maybe not that much today. The daily mixes are fine, but it's pushing the same songs too much.
• The website https://1001albumsgenerator.com even if I am not a fan of some genres, it's good to learn about some records.

From this same thread I am sure I will use https://www.gnoosic.com in the future.

This looks great. I'm looking forward to getting the finished version.

Spending time making battlemaps is gaming too! But I totally understand what you mean.

Yes, I spent some hours (time passed quickly) checking some games in the workshop. I'm quite impressed with some of the findings.

I just bought it today, so I really would like them to be welcome!

As a main solo player, do you have any suggestions? I got it to test new games before buying, but I can see myself using it exclusively for some specific games with long setups, so I can pause mid game to continue later.

I was told to be a doctor. Like saving lifes and doing important stuff. However I always was the word kid disassembling electronic devices to see how they were made and how they worked. Now I am an electronic engineer, although I still see electronic systems as magic.

Or just the website if you can't support the developers https://goblin.tools/ No need to install anything, it works great using the browser.

I found about it not long ago (also because my partner suggested it: "you may like this - Like? I love it!)

I can't pick just one band, however, I clearly remember the first time I listened to

• Black metal as a genre
• Aphex Twin
• Aenima by Tool
• Traversee by Year of no light
• Black Sabbath
• Industrial Rock in general and Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails in particular
• Hyperballad by Björk

I'm sure there are more if I think for longer.

I recently played a small campaing with Cairn and I enjoyed what these systems with a few abilities achieve. Barrow Delver is a nice set of solo rules for it.

Mausritter is a great intro to the "OSR spirit": due to the player being a mouse, you won't be a hero for long if you run straight to every dangerous situation. Einzelmaus exists to play it solo.

I like this point of view. Also because it reminds me of Douglas Adams with his "42" thing.

It was really good to be honest.

I am very interested on it if you create it!

I just suscribed to it, thanks for the link :)

Great analysis, I'm a big fan of how you explained and compared it with a great game.

As a solo player, I find it a bit more difficult to apply it, maybe I need to use a better tool too generate more interesting encounters.

That's a pretty good point. Time to read it again! (and this time I'll play it)

Mausritter is a mix of some easy systems, very "kid friendly", it actually won some awards because of it. The Tiny D6 systems are also good and easy to learn: two dice, if you have an attribute that helps, use three.

And I agree with you. I'm one of those playing solo boardgames and RPGs to avoid more screen time

There are discussions about boardgames and TTRPGs in Gaming, even if that community is mainly focused on videogames

It depends on the amount of roleplay vs journaling you would like to try. My first try was with D100 and Four against the Darkness, but they were closer to a boardgame from my point of view. After that I tried Scarlet Heroes, one of the best solo rules and tables to play any classic DND game. Or anything, the tables and oracles can be used in a lot of different games. Now, the standard suggestion is Ironsworn because it's great and easy to play (although the book is big, everything is variations of one move). OH, did I mention it's free?

And then you can find Mythic GME 2ed, probably the best tool available to play any TTRPG solo. It's really worth it, but there are others easier to understand (I'd suggest One Page Solo Engine).

It depends on what you'd like to play: What setting? Where would you put the focus? More throwing dice? More journaling? Adventures? Epic fantasy? Sci-fi?
