WIYQ 27: Playing With Yourself, But With Dice (Solo RPG Deep Dive)

THIS WIYQ! Cameron is on a well(er)-deserved vacation with his lovely wife, so Drew is all you get. From Drew: I’ve been working really hard on the Basilisk, myself, and have been thinking about Solo RPGs lately. In this episode, we go deep into solo RPG design theory, talk about several solo RPG products I’ve been using, as well as some of the grittier bits about the Gray Orphan’s Book (stretch goal with the Epic of Dreams Basilisk Edition). Oh yeah, Drew also narrates his solo session at camp for your entertainment.
