Captain Jack Turk’s mission inside Soviet territory takes an unexpected turn in Episode 2 of Tiny Spies.

As Turk attempts to return to his safe house, he discovers he is being followed through the dark streets of the village. A tense cat-and-mouse pursuit leads to a confrontation in a narrow alley, where Turk overpowers his pursuer and uncovers a disturbing truth. The man is KGB, carrying orders to identify and capture a suspicious newcomer matching Turk’s description. Somehow the authorities already know he is in the village. Now Turk must determine who betrayed him, why the KGB is searching for him, and whether The Raven was ever real to begin with. With the village closing in around him, the mission has become far more dangerous than anyone expected. ⁍ Donate via Paypal⁍ https://paypal.me/LuFinali~~~~~⁍ Donate to the channel Buy Me a Coffee:⁍ https://Buymeacoffee.com/Soloquests~~~~~⁍ Donate to the channel via Ko-Fi:⁍ https://ko-fi.com/lufinali~~~~~⁍ Follow my solo TTRPG blog:⁍ https://solodnd.com~~~~~⁍ Connect with me on Twitter:⁍ https://twitter.com/@LuFinali~~~~~⁍ Email me:⁍ soloquests(@)solodnd.com This is a public episode.

Episode 26 - Tiny Spies | Iron Curtain | S1Ep1

Thanks for reading Solo Quests! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work. Episode 1 begins the Cold War solo campaign of Captain Jack Turk, a Green Beret Special Forces operative dropped behind Soviet lines in 1986. Sent into the isolated village of Volkov Station, Turk must locate a missing resistance contact known only as “The Raven,” who may possess critical intelligence connected to Soviet missile movements. Using the Tiny Spies RPG alongside the Mythic Game Master Emulator, the episode follows Turk as he sneaks through snowy backroads, avoids Soviet patrols, searches abandoned homes for supplies, and slowly works his way into the occupied village. Tension builds as he realizes the town may be watching him more closely than expected, and a mysterious old woman offers him a possible lead that could change the mission entirely.

Episode 25 - Swords & Wizardry Unboxing...

Swords & Wizardry Complete Box Set just landed on the channel. Today I crack open the full boxed set from Frog God Games [https://www.froggodgames.com/?utm_source=chatgpt.com] and take a close look at everything inside. We go through the Player Book, Referee Book, Monsters Book, Spells & Magic, the dice, character sheets, and talk about why Swords & Wizardry still stands as one of the best OSR versions of classic D&D. I also talk about the difference between White Box and Swords & Wizardry Complete, why I think this version hits the sweet spot for old school gaming, and why it works so well for solo roleplaying and traditional campaigns alike. If you enjoy AD&D, OSR games, classic fantasy roleplaying, or old school box sets, this one is worth a look.

Episode 23 - S1E1 - Old West Solo

A lone Territorial Marshal rides into a dusty border town chasing a stolen $2,000 bank haul, but the trail goes cold fast. Eli Matthews is not some quick-draw legend. He is tired, practical, and working with scraps of information in a land that does not care if justice wins. Every choice is decided in real time through solo roleplay, random encounters, and old school table mechanics that can turn a quiet ride into a gunfight in seconds. Episode one throws Eli into cattle rustlers, bad weather, missed shots, and uneasy encounters out on the frontier. The world builds itself as the story moves, town by town and trail by trail. Nothing is scripted. The danger feels raw, the travel feels lonely, and every direction could lead to trouble. If you like grounded western stories, procedural storytelling, and solo RPG play where the dice shape the narrative, this is the start of a long ride west. website: https://soloquests.substack.com [https://soloquests.substack.com] This is a public episode.
