More Mythicky goodness with ideas for pairing The Adventure Crafter with Mythic and strategies for playing lots and lots of solo campaigns at once! I'm sure we've all done that ... at least I hope it's not just me.

i recently played Yourself, "a solo tabletop role playing game about Introspection, Identity, and Heritage": https://k-ramstack.itch.io/yourself

these role playing games usually prompt me to fully commit to building a character

but this one pushed me in the opposite direction and it really was a very personal, self-narrating experience

the game requires a tarot deck, and shuffling it in-between acts created a very meditative experience

i wrote over 1k words playing it

Turk at the Grouch Couch made another awesome video, this time about puzzles in solo games, featured in Mythic Magazine #23. That's an old issue, so I'm glad he went back to it to talk about this. Puzzles can be tough to generate in solo.

I've found myself with a rare free weekend and the real world is full of awful shit, so I'm going to submerge myself in solo gaming and not come up for air until Monday.

I own too many TTRPGs, so here's my "play plan" to enjoy a bunch of solo ones: https://lostletters.neocities.org/2026/02/26/solo-ttrpg-play-plan #TTRPG #soloTTRPG

Mythic Magazine #62 is out, and it's maptastic! I've been into map making lately, and I'm glad to have an article devoted to it.

Since I had to cancel all of my weekend plans, I finally got around to learning how to use the 2nd edition of Mythic Game Master Emulator to more run a solo TTRPG campaign of Pirate Borg. I looked into virtual, automated tools and found this free handy GUI: https://squiter.github.io/mythic-gme/ It's missing the Element Meaning Tables. If you need those baked in, then the official tool is your best bet for $12.99 https://jasonholtdigital.itch.io/mythic-gme-digital unless you already have Foundry VTT in which case you can get it free on there #soloTTRPG

Mythic Magazine #61 is now out, with the City Crafter in it. The magazine's been all about Crafters lately! This one includes generating the city's map, because maps are awesome :)

I started Raccoon Sky Pirates, modifying it as a solo journaling game. Ink will flow! Brisket will be snatched! After last night, I now have a crew.

I intend to cheat a lot, because the rolls look pretty gnarly. (According to the dev blog, the upcoming physical edition looks much more forgiving. 12 damage levels instead of 5 for the ship, more ways to help another player out.)

#RaccoonSkyPirates #soloTTRPG #journaling #fountainPens

Solo Daggerheart rules for Tiers 1-3:

- Adversary Stress = 0
- "GM" earns double Fear and always spends it immediately; make up neat abilities to fit the fiction of the moment

Assign levels 1-5 to adversaries, stats as follows:
- Diff (based on Tier) = 11, 14, 17
- Thresholds (based on Tier) = 8/16, 11/22, 20/35
- HP (Lvs 1-5) = 1,4,5,6,8
- Atk = +Tier
- dmg = (Tier)d8+Lv

Encounters should have an adversary level sum of 5 if your character is truly alone, or 8 with a partner.

If your character deals Stress damage, you might want to roll 2d12 to see if that damage applies to their HP or not (since adversaries start with a Stress of 0).

On a roll with Hope, apply the damage, with Fear, don't.

Should simplify things enough for solo play (at least through Tier 3) while retaining the flavor, I think.

Let me know your thoughts!

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.

#ttrpg Looking at my new copy of #QuestWorlds and considering using it to #solottrpg #OneRing2e adventures. #tolkien I’m inspired by #robindlaws Questworlds start re: #glorantha - #HeroQuestGlorantha and some comment that Questworlds lends itself to soloplay. #tolkienttrpgs

Looking for directions for printing a pdf in A5 zine format. Trying to make my #kalarath pdf into my own booklet. #solorpg #solottrpg

The Quiet Table is doing a solo run using Mythic and the Mystery Matrix, I love it :) I watched Murder On The Orient Express yesterday, and today I see this ... murder mystery is in the air!

I made this light hearted story telling game, Don't Leave Me, Yeti!! Play solo or with a group. Free. #ttrpg #solottrpg #onepagettrpg

https://junkyardtornado.itch.io/dont-leave-me-yeti

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!
#solottrpg

Following a grim ttrpg, I picked something more cozy, but I think I erred too far in that direction. No story, irl one day turns, consequences don't matter.

It may be more like an idling game, played in the edges of my weekly planner.

#SoloTTRPG

Finished another solo ttrpg, Lordsworn. After your god is killed in battle, your small group of survivors is making its way home.

It's meant to be played with others, but has rules for a single player. The character creation was nice (26 archetypes, my party was broad) and I enjoyed cheating my way through 4 full sessions (the game expects you to fail). I liked it.

Lost Among The Starlit Wreckage is 50% off at DriveThruRPG until 5/31. Floating through the void in a damaged mecha thinking back on the war/hoping for rescue (or trying to do the rescuing) is hard enough, you deserve a discount! #ttrpg #solottrpg #duetttrpg https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/378986/lost-among-the-starlit-wreckage?affiliate_id=1256684

I played a short game yesterday, A Woman's Day.

https://ranarh.itch.io/a-womans-day

I used it as an opportunity to muse about what I like and don't like about my life right now. Interesting results. My best solution to one problem (division of work) was to run away to the woods and live in a hut with chicken legs. Hmm, that issue might be a personal sore point, hmm...

I'm trying more solo ttrpgs, and of course I have no dice with me. I rely on the kindness of the internet and I like this site

https://missingdice.com/

No ads, no pop ups, it does decks of cards too. Not my site, just a happy user.

I actually played a journaling tt(rp?)g today. Serious Reading, by Jordan Boschman. A trifle of a thing, you write headlines for an opinion column but really are there to rant about personal issues. Tax evasion (but really exorcism), inflation (but really blaming social media), work safety (cargo pants, so comfy). Short, and I made it shorter.
