This week's post is a sort of "Session 0" for the new series dedicated to a solo campaign of mine that'll start in a few weeks, Isekai Borg. But what is Isekai Borg, exactly? Born from a similar idea I've also been working on,  Mork Wars , Isekai Borg is a solo framework I've been working on for a few months now. I'm not to the point of sharing it publicly yet, though I hope I will in the future; this campaign is also my way of testing the system. In short, Isekai Borg is a framework for a solo campaign where you have a character who finds themselves trapped in a series of virtual worlds (the various Borg games) with no recollection of who they are, trying to survive and, through each success, discover more details about their life and what brought them there. It can then lead to a subsequent Cy_Borg campaign or end once you complete enough worlds to recover your memories: I plan on going with the former option, using this framework as just the launchpad f...

The following is part 16 of my solo Pirate Borg campaign. It focuses mainly around the character I created in this post , which was so interesting to me that it prompted me to set up a whole solo campaign . You can start with episode 1 here . Let's dive right in! -Well, I'm glad I sent you there then , said Pedro. What's your name, my friend? -Sam. -I'm sure you'll have a great time in Miranda's crew, Sam. Just don't forget the rules! But , Pedro continued, bringing his attention back to the Captain,  let's leave aside pleasantries and cut to the chase: I'm guessing what Sam's holding is Hector's treasure. Your guess is correct , nodded Ramirez,  can you also guess what's inside it? Pedro paused for a moment, clearly surprised by the question.  As I told you when I offered you the job, Hector always kept it a secret from me. For my own good, he said, so I wouldn't be attacked by anyone looking for it; even the map he only gave me aft...

This post is the first step into making my blog more focused on my solo TTRPG sessions, which I've been enjoying quite a lot lately (whenever I've found the time for it). First up, this is my playthrough of  A playlist for the end of the world by Ludipe , a solo journaling game where you use a deck of cards and a few songs you like to picture what you'd do if the world was ending in about 42 minutes and you found yourself at an empty radio station, not knowing whether anyone will even listen to you. Enjoy!     Check, check. Oh, I always wanted to do this. And now that I can...I have no idea whether anyone's listening. My usual luck. Well, I'm here now, in this empty radio station, and the world's about to end, so...might as well get to the end while listening to some good music; and since no one's here to contradict me, whatever I play is a masterpiece that deserves to be in this spot. Let's see...oh, I can just open Youtube and play from there, ...

This week I'll finish (at least for now) my character creation series of Borg-like games characters made for a future project of mine. That's because these character will finally be used! More on that at the end of this post. This time we're going with Mork Org by CM Lowry and Dave Emmerson , a game where "The Office" meets Mork Borg, between possessed photocopiers and random tables for meaningless job titles. It's crazy and insane...and I love it! Without further ado, let's get into it! 1. First of all we'll roll for our  CAREER  (this game's classes, obviously), d10: 8,  Hyper-vigilant watchman . I guess we'll be the building guard, then. It has a couple of abilities: - Blood has been shed : +1 STR in any fight where blood is spilt (sic); - Keeper of the Peace : if you've brought "peace" to a situation, roll a d8. If the roll is higher than the body count, gain the difference in Promotion Points (this game's way to hand...

The following is part 15 of my solo Pirate Borg campaign. It focuses mainly around the character I created in this post , which was so interesting to me that it prompted me to set up a whole solo campaign . You can start with episode 1 here . Let's dive right in! They stopped at the farthest table from the entrance, right beside the hearth. The extra heat made the stink almost unbearable, but Sam made it a point to not show it; White clearly didn't. Captain Ramirez put up her friendliest face, one Sam didn't even suspect she had.  Pedro, my good friend! I am here to proudly report my success. The man she addressed was a middle-aged guy whose impeccably combed gray hair was in stark contrast with the bloody bandages crossing his chest. He was flanked by a pair of younger folks, a man and a woman, who might've been his bodyguards...for sure they were guarding him very closely. His face lit up when he turned to Ramirez.  Miranda! I was sure the only one who could do it was...

A while ago (almost a year, time flies!) I wrote a post asking whether we should bring back Hit Locations, including an example of a Dragon modified for this idea, the "final boss" of the Icespire Peak campaign I was running online, using Owlbear Rodeo as VTT. I can finally  announce that I've been able to use that stat block, as I've finally managed to finish that campaign! So I can now return to you with my impressions of how the fight went and whether I find it actually usable in play. Let's get to it! First things first, before getting to this fight I added another bit to this stat block, after the Legendary Resistances and Actions, Lair Actions and Hit Locations: borrowing the idea from Nimble 5e, I added a Last Stand to the Dragon, something that would trigger once it reached 0 HP, giving it 40 more HP and adding a bit more damage to its attacks. Now let's get to the fight itself: although it covered most of the last session (after quite a bit of plann...
