    I've always had a little problem watching big group D&D games personally, in that there's always just too much going on and it usually ends up giving me the sensation of "feeling left out of the friend group", but this series has allowed me to be a lot more immersed and feel like I'm actually a part of something, that I'm really involved with the story even if I'm only just watching. Great stuff, honestly.

    That piece about logic and interpretation making rolling unnecessary is so important when running games.
    Based on this episode I bought the mythic game generator. I'm looking forward to seeing how it plays out.
    There are so many games that I've run that never really went anywhere. I built NPCs that I was excited to use with the PCs but never got to
    I think this solo system will allow some of them to have their own stories.

    I like what you said about logic and interpretation obviating the need for the emulator.

Thanks for teaching me something!

    YES! ABSOLUTELY!
    I know I’m a few years late, only just found this a couple weeks ago. I listened to an episode or two a day and just finished this morning.
    I wholeheartedly agree with all the positive comments already posted:
    Fantastic story-telling, great voice acting, camera work, editing, system/rules expertise… and very nicely packaged in 30 minute or so episodes.
    PS especially agree with another post saying this is more entertaining than watching a group of people. Much more efficient, much more story in a short time, and definitely more fun!
    Very excited to start listening to Season 2!

I tried solo rpging a few years ago and I was disappointed because I felt like I couldn't accomplish a good roleplay aspect all on my own. Came across this channel a few weeks ago and I'm inspired! I have so many new ideas for how to make solo gaming more entertaining for me. (And a bunch of new supplements to make it easier lol) Many thanks to you, Trevor for the creative boost and a story that had me literally screaming out loud with excitement at times. Super excited to start on this journey all over again!
