    @Geek Gamers Have you heard of a computer program called Tabletop Simulator? It is great for when you don't want to deal with physical games, and want the benefit of everything being in one place. You can also play multiplayer with other friends.

    Great video! I'm just getting into solo RPG in addition to my usual, 4-people RPG party session. More so as a relaxing, therapeutic, story-telling, meditative, imagination stimulating activity, which I in no way compare with the multi-person RPG experience, but I really enjoy this. It's like storytelling but the random elements and rolling of the dice create unexpected twists and turns.
    Have looked into a solo RPG called Ironsworn? I'm just getting into it :) They have the pdfs free to download on their website. Anyway, great video. Liked!

      Welcome to the solo RPG club... and my channel.. I have hundreds of RPG vids (including a bunch on Ironsworn). You might want to look at my solo RPG playlist, with over 100 vids including a bunch on journaling games. And for Ironsworn in particular I've done 7 vids. This is the first one: ua-cam.com/video/IN-hld-_r1A/v-deo.html
