Episode 17: More Western Games
Welcome to Die Alone: a Solo RPG Podcast! Each episode I’ll be playing a different solo roleplaying or board game and talking about my experiences. I’ll also occasionally dabble in solo tabletop games and adventure gamebooks. I’ll be looking at the games as a play experience, as a meditative and creative exercise, and also looking at them from a designer and artist viewpoint.
In Episode 17 of Die Alone, we take a look at BANTAM WEST from Bantam Planet and GUN COWBOY from Che.
Bantam West is an “Immersive Tabletop Sim” adventure board game for 1-4 players, that unfolds in the Western town of Gallow Springs. Play as one of four Deadly Strangers on their first day in town, as they work, fight, build, and burn to become the most Notorious.
GUN COWBOY is a journaling game for one player about a dead outlaw at the end of a long career. They may not know they are dead, but they are. Once, they had a gang, a posse, a crew - that's gone now, and only they (and their gun) remain. They will burn themselves up until they are nothing but bones and dust.
You can get a copy of Bantam West on the Bantam Planet website: shop.visitbantam.com/products/bantam-west-kickstarter-edition
Gun Cowboy can be found on Itch: sche.itch.io/gun-cowboy

Beneath The Sea Of Dust TTRPG Preview | Zinequest | ZIMO23
Thank you for the preview of Anna x66. I enjoy Mark of the odd so much, and the setting is great.
You should make a follow up video on how Hero Quest is today with all expansions etc.
I'm really into tinkering and changing rules in solo RPGs just like you mentioned in this. It's my favourite part of solo RPGs and it's why I like them so much. I have a goal with Delve to make little art cards for each building and cavern type. Maybe tarot sized cards for the caverns and then playing card sized cards for the overlays of structures and stuff.
There was one rule mistake: you can loot the lava glyph tiles only once per tile. It didn't matter in this playthrough though. I enjoyed the video, gg guys!
I play “Dungeon!“ with my 8 year old son, he enjoys it. The exploration dungeon gameplay mixed battling monsters collecting loot all nice. We are looking for something similar with monsters, attributes are more fixed vs random rolls and can coop monster battles, still dungeon exploration and fight some last boss it lose etc.
I just bought Monster Rangers RPG, I heard about it from the creator in an interview he just did recently. I got my copy of the player's guide and the Warden's guide yesterday.
Be neat to see it converted to another system.
Dandy
I know I’m 3 years late here but I checked in on the patreon because I couldn’t find it on DTRPG and it hasn’t been delivered on and it appears that the creator ran off with all the backers money. Another sad case of people backing a promising vision and it never manifesting.
This game is gem!
I’m the one who designed the Bradley’s Last Resort in Anna X66 Redux. Makes me feel happy when ever this game is mentioned.
Would you be so kind as to make Part Two, please? I’d love to hear your recommendations for recent dungeon crawls for youngsters.
I can’t wait to get this game!
The benefit of fast, concise, to-the-point, and intentionally incomplete rules is that they both get players started quickly and retain a certain amount of content to explore on their own, which will spark interest. Players can learn the game and start adventuring in a matter of minutes, from understanding the rules to understanding the story.😊
question ! as we start on the 2 of hearts, do we get a key card right off the bat? you say we start with 4 medpacks, but that's it...
You do! (Sorry, hadn't logged onto a place where I could see comments until today... You're likely long dead and floating space.)
@@TabletopsandTentacles I actually survived twice in a row, but I think I misplayed a few turns. until next try! (and thanks for the answer!)
Thank you for suggesting this one. I am a huge fan of TinyD6, EZD6 and all the other rules light d6 games, but this is now my go to. It is now up on drivethrurpg if anyone is looking for it.
Question. What happens if you use a stimpacknto move through already revealed hallways?. When I played I did not use them how you used them, I just returned them to the medpack pile. The rule book doesn't actually say lay them down, it says the extra space are considered hallways and not turned face up when you pass through them. I assumed this meant if you pass through hallways face down either by placing station cards or passing over already placed station cards they would not be revealed by this extra move. But that's how I read the rules.
This was a good, but the title is misleading. Most games that claim 2D6 actually require you to add D6. The only game I have encountered that allows you to play with 2D6, without adding or subtracting dice, that I have encountered is Tunnel Goons. When you start having to use cards, or add dice it takes away from the simplicity For me, adding dice is deal breaker, because I own a 2D6 dice popper.
Dang, this looks awesome.
I was tempted to get it but the art is high school level.
Any chance for a shout out for 'Roll for Fire: a Prehistoric Tabletop RPG' - I don't think it's going to make its funding goal - which'll be sad for a game where Players get to be an archaic human, (ex: Neanderthal, Flores Man, etc.) - and - reading between the lines - Homo Sapiens might well be one of their Antagonists
Oooh, that looks cool, I'll totally add it to my list!
Yooooooo, thank you for the shout out and the support! Awesome zine rack btw!
Early backer here! Worth it!
Great review!
I love this format and your presentation! I can't wait to see all your videos on this topic as soon as I'll have some free time! Thank you! ✨
Ray Otus rules, excited to dive into this!
If it hasn't been said enough yet, thank you for putting these videos together for us. I haven't been able to keep up with Zinequest this year but I've been watching your videos to cover the highlights. Really appreciate your effort!
Thank you so much - Glad you like them!
seems pretty neat
Sorry the audio was rough on this video! I forgot to adjust my mic after i put on a warmer shirt. haha
Hey, that was fantastic! Thank you so much for the shoutout! ❤
No problem 😊
So glad you're back! Looking forward to T&T Volume 1, Issue 4! And can I put in a request for some 3die6 adventures!?!?!
Thank you - it has been a WILD couple of years, but it's so good to be back. Issue Four is on the way! I was just tying down some contributors yesterday and I think some more 3DIE6 is a must-do. haha
I really like this podcast so far! This is awesome
Glad you enjoy it!
I got Restock for my first journey. "Bring 3 reagents with the same tag to your destination." I don't understand what "same tag" means. Can you explain please? I have zero experience with this game other than creating my character.
This looks cool. I would however really love if you can point me to an Dystopian Ttrpg with much more The Handmaid's Tale kinda vibes. Which is really brutal personal tragedy and horror in a broken world
For this one coming up, I will definitely reach out to you. Look out for E S Punk!
Yes, we should wish each other interestingness rather than goodness, an insightful and chaotic reminder, +2 xp
Nicely done! Very spooky!
Several years ago my boyfriend started feeling nostalgic for HeroQuest and we went to the board game shops looking to buy something similar if we could. We found Wrath of Ashardalon and brought it home. We fell in love with it and played it with all our friends. That got us hooked on board games and now we have a huge collection, but Wrath of Ashardalon and the other D&D Adventure System games remain our favourites. Now we have the new HeroQuest and I look forward to playing it and seeing what it was like when the whole thing began. We're in Australia but were able to preorder the Mythic Tier set through EB Games, and now the game and the expansions are available in retail stores here as well, so I think everything worked out well in the long run.
Hey, I'm an independent creator in Italy and, with a team, we're trying to build a whole game company based on RPG ZINEs! I think this format has a much bigger market than many people believe and the idea of explaining a game's system and playing an accessible campaign in the same night, with casual players, is very important! Keep up with there great reviews! One day I'll send you one of our games! 🤟🏻🌟
More, please. ZiMo is important, and so far really hasn't had the kind of coverage and community discussion I've been expecting. I couldn't keep up with all the zines updates dropping this time last year, but 2022 has been thin thanks to KS and their nonsense.
Thank you so much for including Lucid: Sea of Dreams in your roundup! ^^
Great picks for this one!
Thanks for the shout out!
Thank you for featuring Discordantopia! I noticed you had some slight difficulties describing the setting besides the art itself (which you handled well in the video, btw). I was initially worried that I would put too much information in the itch page, to where people wouldn’t read it all and get what I’m trying to pitch. What do you think? Is the itch page in a good spot, text wise?
Where is the board of Hero Quest modular? It is one big printed board instead of modular dungeon tiles. I wish they improved and modernized the game instead of a 1:1 re-print…
More Balrog!!!
Hahaha The camera does love him!
Thanks for this video. It's very clarifying
Fascinating game concept, but regarding your sign-off, I have to say- you take that back! The times we’re living in are much more interesting than I’m comfortable with, thank you very much.
Ohh I hate when the artwork is from different artists in one game. And it's not like cards from this and board from another, it's mixed cards! That would totally annoy me for ever. :( I was thinking about getting it cheaper on ebay but now I'm not sure anymore.
Hahaha that is some skillful editing @5:42 there, Kris....
