Solospelunking
Германия
Добавлен 20 окт 2023
I am a long time tabletop gamer who enjoys tabletop roleplaying games, skirmish level miniature games and fantasy and sci-fi themed board and card games. I am also a solo gamer who enjoys playing role-playing games and boardgames solo. In this channel I want to share my experiences with you by posting videos of my gaming sessions, sharing tools and tips and just try something new.
And if the channel name sounds familiar to you: It was also the name of my solo rpg blog that I started a long while ago and where I posted my solo rpg sessions. I discontinued this blog because I switched to posting on G+, which was then discontinued by Google, but you can still check out my old posts there by following the link below.

The Bat of Fallcrest - Finale - This Is An Operating Table And I Am The Surgeon!
When life seems like it shit. Just take a look at it and remember that wer nicht hüpft, der ist ein Kölner! or something like that, you have to sing a little bit-or so I've heard, but I'm unable to write it.
Thank you for sharing, my guy!
Really good video, thanks for sharing! Hope you get well soon!
@@TabletopWanderer Thanks, I am working on it😃
I hope you recover soon! Interesting video, I miss the ”golden era” I had, as a kid I didn’t realize what a luxury existence it was 🤣
@@Grognard-Solo-Gaming Exactly, fond memories. Are you still playing Curse of Strahd? Can't wait to see the next episode 🥳
@ Yes, I have played and written the next episode. Hopefully I will record tomorrow and then it’ll be a few days of editing. More bothersome irl stuff got in the way, and then I lost my creative drive for a bit, but hopefully things are back to normal now 🤞😅
@Grognard-Solo-Gaming I know the feeling of losing the creative drive. Happens to all of us. And those episodes do look like a lot of work to produce.
Thanks for a nice overview video. And glad to hear you are still doing some in-person gaming. I agree that you are a MASTER solo roleplayer. I know I learned a lot from the Bat of Fallcrest series especially. Hope you bounce back from your illness very soon.
@@sharpmountaingames9303 Thanks, yes, already feeling better 😀. Yeah, I wouldn't want to miss my gaming group. We have been playing together for over 15 years now as well. At least with two of the guys.
I'm saddened that you're feeling poorly, but I'm happy that you took the time to tell your story! Thank you!
@@defaultidiot1684 Thank you, I am much better already.
Thanks for sharing your history! I would definitely call you a professional solo gamer :)
@@jonio38 Thanks 🤭
I hope you get better and get rid of the cold. My Story is similar. I am also born end of the 70s. The Dark Eye was also for me the starting point. I still have my boxes from the 80s/early 90s. it started with my neighbor and my brother ... Starting with The Dark Eye, then moving to ADD and Star Wars WEG D6. Your video caused some nostalgia. Thank you for sharing your story!
And to add. I have had similar phases (although the cause might be different and the sequence): 80s/early 90s: Dark Eye High School: ADD and SW WEG University: DnD 3.5 Online Years: Ultima and later WOW Dry Years: Full time Employee in Global Logistics and doing PhD Thesis as an external (with some attempts into Solo Boardgaming) Now: Solo RPG
@@LD-gc4qg Gladly 😊. I think it is hard to find one German rpg player that did not start with The Dark Eye. 😁
How similar our stories are! I’m a bit older, but when I was in the Army (late 80s - early 90s) I was deployed for a while in Germany (very near to a town called Venlo in the Netherlands). Of course our paths would have never crossed… Anyway, I enjoyed your tale and I hope you get well soon!
Thanks 👋 Do you remember the name of the Town? I live in that larger area now, near Cologne.
@Solospelunking Kaldenkirchen I believe. I spent most of my free time at a Gasthaus close to there, drinking. :)
@GBlucher I'll check it up on the map.
I hope you are feeling better. When I hear "Hello Gamers" I know it will be interesting and entertaining. Thank you!
@@ladyvaliantevony7959 Thanks for the kind words 😊
This was a really nice video. Thanks for sharing!
Reroll Rex is priceless! 😂
@@magehammersgametable Actually it was Rerorax but Reroll Rex is even better. 😂
Hope you feel better soon.
I'm trying to remember my history... I know it started with the Basic Red Box, something like 1983. I know that I had a couple of friends, I think in high school, and I believe we got some version of Advanced D&D and tried a bit of playing. I know that there was a lunch time D&D game at my high school. I think I played briefly but I was into other stuff back then. I did get into online MMOs though. The first, even before Ultima, was a game called Meridian 59. I think it was the first graphical MMO (2d). Played that a lot. I do remember playing ultima but not for long. I moved to Everquest and played for several years. Then Everquest 2, then WoW and I toyed with an occasional other MMO. I never got into group play TTRPG. Then about 7 or so years ago, I got back into 5e and played with a group online for 2 years. I got sick and left that. Now in the past year or so I've been circling around and around to play solo and I'm getting very close. I actually did play one session recently but I decided to change the rule set and setting but I'm again ready to start (Basic Fantasy RPG, Morgansfort, and Hexplorers Guide as main pieces)
@@brads2041 Keep at it. The good thing playing solo: You can change rulesets as much as you want.
I got my start in gaming around the same time you did but through more CRPGs, which I still often play, but I used the computer games to learn the rule systems, then got into table top and now solo RPGs from there. One of the games I played in my youth and replayed in modern ages, was The Realms of Arkania series, which was based on The Dark Eye Rule set. The second game Star Trial was my favorite, you might check youtube for a play through and see how well it holds up to the rule set. I think it would have been a hard system to learn on as the computer game had a lot of skills, that did not work well but were included in the base ruleset. And even with the game's help it was often a chore to sort out the skill and spell system...especially in the early 90's when I first was trying to learn it. I have no idea how you learned the table top version at that age. I got into AD&D mostly through the Eye of Beholder games, Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale, and 2nd edition was my go to. 3rd Edition had some great CRPGs but I never liked the system as well overall, but it was alright to play in a group some. But then 5e came out, and really I think 5e gets so much wrong, it is great for new players to pick up but felt flat to me, and that is all anyone wanted to play, and it just made me miss 2nd edition even more. So I got into solo gaming because I thought I can use 2nd edition and make a solo game out of it. It went about as well as your solo d6 Star Wars game went. But then I found Basic Fantasy which feels a bit like 2nd edition but more simplified, so I started soloing with that mostly. I am no where near a professional, but I can have some good fun with solo. :)
@@colmortimer1066 Yes, I played the Dark Eye games as well! Coming from the Pen and Paper game I loved it😁.
Hope that you're feeling better very soon. Always fun to hear another gamer's story.
nice break from the series, thanks for sharing.
My pleasure 👋.
I've gotten sick too, get better!
I am, it's going uphill.
Papa! Papa! Read us a story!
The one how you became a gamer, please, please, please.😂
Nice!!!!
i know you used a map and minis for combat, but do you have recommendations on how to render grid-based combat on graph paper and pen/pencil with no minis?
Actually yes. What I did before in the 4e era was to draw the combat area on grid paper with ink and then use a soft pencil and light pencil marks to track movement and position, using the starting letters of the creatures and characters. Because you draw the terrain with ink you can erase over it. If you use a 1 cm or 1/2 inch grid it is not that fiddly but still smaller than a 1 inch grid. Hope that helps.
it does and thank you for your prompt response. I was beginning to wonder if there is a way to adapt football/soccer play notation to somehow represent things 😅@Solospelunking
These are pretty neat, but, could you cover exactly how you set up and create these as board games vs true TTRPG'S? Both for Shadowdark and for Forbidden Lands? Thnx 🤓👊
Just download the preview sample from DriveThruRPG. It is 35 pages and covers exactly what you are asking. Basically I overlay a boardgame round structure on top of the Shadowdark ruleset with defined phases and actions. I can't say anything about Forbidden Lands, I have never played it.
Going out in style!
@@brads2041 Great ball of fire. *sings in a Top Gun manner*
I just LOVE you Tie Fighter fx!!!! Another great video!
@TabletopWanderer Thanks 😃 hehe, yes. TIE fighter engines are one of the most iconic sounds in movie history in my opinion. I just love it, so I do my best...
@Solospelunking you nail the sound everytime!
☺️🤭
A great start to the new year! 👍😁
Indeed, the pair is pretty tough, but I do not dare going into a dungeon yet. Want to get magical weapons first.
Welcome back! I finally started a solo game!
@@brads2041 Nice! 👍 About time 😉. So let me know how it goes. What genre, character etc. did you pick?
@Solospelunking I'm starting with Basic Fantasy RPG and the Morgansfort setting that is associated with it. Ranger, druid, cleric. I also just came across Hexplorer's Guide which I'm also looking at.
@brads2041 Nice. I have Basic Fantasy as well. There is tons of stuff out for it.
Don't fear the Reaver
@@brads2041 It was a fun fight.💪
Luckily the lighting is better, not the lightning :D
@@umnyboodas3963 Lucky me. 🤭
I think you could bundle this with the full rules. Shadowdark has a pretty open license. If you did, you could make a full version for sale. Id love it. ❤ Always fun seeing these two daring adventurers. 🎉
Actually it is up for sale 😁. You really only need the free Shadowdark Quickstart Set to play to get an understanding of the basic rules and you can get that on DriveThruRPG. Everything else needed is in the book. The classes, backgrounds, space combat rules and even carousing rules.
NIce... more space opers! Be back in an hour! 😉
Another great episode. I really have to try out your Stardark game sometime this year!
Welcome back mate, and thanks for another fantastic video!
@TabletopWanderer Thanks, happy new year 😁.
Heh heh heh...nice villianary.
Hehe, glad you like it. Thanks for your support and a happy new year 😁.
I enjoyed you Sol RPG Tutorial series. #2 . Where would someone be able to find the cardboard figures.
@@phillipmerritt1428 You are probably referring to Pathfinder Pawns. So the product line is called Pathfinder Pawns, they are from Paizo and you can easily get them on Amazon. The boxes come with bases, the collections not.

Nice, I like that 👍
You are a RUclips celebrity in my book 👍
Thanks ☺️
Nice!!!
Great video! Glad you found the character sheets useful.
@@mattjackson Yes, thanks for sharing 😀.
Great “entry” series, thanks. Would you do the “mid” and “expert” level series using more expensive support materials and maps?
@@MrMy23 Well, the mid and expert series are basically all the actual plays on my channel. There I get out all the toys, introduce mechanics etc. To continue I would suggest the Cult of Gor Gamash series to see the Scarlet Hero solo rules with D&D supplements in action. If sci-fi is more your style check my Adventures in the Keldor Sector series. In almost all my actual plays I give hints and suggestions about how you could go about different situations and give insights into my thought process.
Very entertaining and interesting. Thank you for sharing your Dragonbane Solo Experience.
My pleasure!👋
Shadowdark has some nice things, but Dragonbane wins BIG TIME !
@@PpAirO5 For you it does 😉
Thanks for sharing this! I love the "over the shoulder" insight into the way others play solo RPG
