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...

This week I'll continue my character creation series, continuing the series of Borg-like games characters made for a future project of mine. These will be alternating with other kinds of posts, like my solo campaigns recaps and some gameable content coming from my Duet Pirate Borg home game. This time we're going with Punk is Dead by Tim Roberts , a post-apocalyptic songwriting TTRPG (as it says on the cover) which sees the PCs as members of a band touring the Ununited Kingdom after nuclear destruction. Without further ado, let's get into it! 1. First of all, as usual, we roll for our class, or in this case  BAND ROLE . There are 7 possible choices, 3 of which are hip-hop themed; for personal preference I'll roll a d4 to stay within the more punk-themed roles: 3,  Drums.  I've played guitar in the past so I was hoping for that...but the dice chose otherwise. This band role gives us -2 DR to any test related to using brute force with our hand and feet and a...

The following is part 14 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! The Captain turned towards her companions.  Stay close to me, don't say anything unless I tell you to, and most importantly don't make eye contact with anyone on our way to Pedro: always look in front of you and stay focused. Do you understand? Sam and White exchanged a worried glance; out of the whole crew, they felt they were the least suitable for that task. Nonetheless, they both turned back to the Captain and nodded stiffly. - Bueno. Let's go then.  She pushed open the tavern's door with her shoulder and in that moment the stink coming from inside made Sam flinch. Had he not spent the last few days on The Shriek he might've fainted on the spot; White was suddenly as pale as his robe. But they didn...
