Solo RPG Channel Update, New Games, New Tools, and What’s Next

In this solo musing, Lou talks about hitting 450 subscribers and where Solo Quests Party of One may be heading next. He shares thoughts on future solo play videos, his long-running d8 system project, possible games to bring to the channel, and his experiments with tools like GameMaster Apprentice cards and a custom HTML card drawer. He also talks through the challenge of finding the right solo RPG system, touches on a recent sci-fi one-shot, and looks ahead to Gen Con and the wider solo gaming scene.

I tested a solo post-apocalyptic hexcrawl with a mutant ninja wolverine, and it actually worked

Been working on a Solo Post Apocalyptic wilderness HexCrawl procedures, and I am finally putting it to play today in this little test. I am using TMNT and the character is Vark, a mutant wolverine trained by a ninja mentor, and the session focused on moving through hexes, checking terrain, events, encounters, and features while trying to make the map feel alive and worth exploring. I also used a custom procedure for tracking control, discoveries, and whatever trouble showed up that day. I think it made the pretend world feel a little alive, and maybe I could tighten it up a bit, but I'd love to see some feedback or suggestions. Here’s the video: https://youtu.be/WGMQ1DR3ysY

December 2025 Updates, Long Read?

1. I know some people have expressed interest in the Land of the Crown Fantasy Solo and I am going to get those up in 2026. Canceled, didn't go as planned.

2. I've had the flu for the past week or so, and it killed my voice, the video I did (Punisher Solo) I had to pause so many times because I THOUGHT I was better, but apparently not. I was still coughing and my throat got so dry, towards the end my voice was cracking.

3. Circling back to 1, I also need to nail down the rules set I want to use, I was originally going with BF, but decided against it. I play that with my regular group constantly and I am kind of burned out on it.

4. End of the year is upon us, and work is busy as we bust butt to finish up projects and such, so I've been doing a bunch of Overtime. Luckily I've had the option to work from home during this time, as they feel end of year stuff gets done faster when people are at home. Who am I to argue? Plus I'll be celebrating Christmas with the folks and family, so gaming will be taking a backseat. Family is important to me.

5. Video presentation: I also am trying to figure out what's better for me, using the desktop video and handwrite everything or use my PC with a Virtual Table Top. Personally I like the VTT method better as my handwriting sucks and its also an easily step process for getting videos out. With the desktop, I have to use my phone, then send the video, convert it, then edit it.

6. Traveller. I've had a few people suggest I play Traveller, while I've played classic once or twice in the past, that was many years ago. I am also torn between using Classic or the new Mongoose one. Suggestions?

7. Western Solo. I love the Old West setting and I love Westerns, especially the Spaghetti Westerns, and I was thinking of doing one. Thoughts?

8. I think I might do a video on my D8 Anywhere system I created like 8 years ago or so, and I use it for quick solo games. I think it would be fun to show folks how easy the game system can be. Interested?

9. Taco Casa is probably the best fast food Tacos a man can get, and sadly they are only here in Texas. Yall are missing out. ;)

10. I am going to attempt another video this week or weekend, see how my voice holds out and if I am coughing.

I'll say no more, except, Happy Holidays!

Star Wars Solo | Dex Renford | The Naboo Run

We pick up right where we left off — Dex and Dr. Merch aboard the ship, landing on Naboo. Things get weird fast as the two run for their lives through the streets, trying to reach the medical research center before the patrols catch up. Quick rolls, close calls, and a chase through the heart of a world that should’ve been safe.
