✒ Solo RPGs

About a month ago I went down a rabbit hole and came out the other side absolutely obsessed.

A singular post on r/fountainpens notified me to the existence of Solo Journaling RPGs- literally, tabletop experiences that you play by yourself. Some of these games have physical components, but many are played entirely with a pen and a piece of paper.

Needless to say, I was absolutely thrilled at the concept of being able to scratch that TTRPG itch without the social drain, impossible scheduling, AND with the bonus of using up my enormous stores of fountain pen inks. Since the middle of November I have tried three separate Solo RPGs, with one being a longer experience with a physical book with rules and tables...with the other two finished experiences being short, one-to-two page PDF's that can be played out in several hours.

✒ Experiences so far...

During my first attempt I tackled a larger-than-anticipated RPG called Apothecaria. In this game, you are sent a letter by a witch who wishes for you to take her place making potions in the town of High Rannock. You gather reagents, explore, make potions, and develop your reputation and relationships with characters in town. Very Stardew Valley inspired, but with a fun, witchy twist. There is also a cute animal version called Apawthecaria, as well as a few expansions for the main game, which I have yet to look at.

I was excited to start but otherwise clueless about the typical pacing and play of journaling RPGs, and soon found that I was writing way too much information!! My hand got tired, and I put it aside for the time being. I will have to revisit it soon, as it is DISGUSTINGLY cute and fun, but for now I have focused my sights on smaller experiences.

During my second, I played a cute little experience called Last Tea Shop. The game has since released a "full" version with more mechanics, but I found the classic version to be exactly what I was looking for on a lazy saturday night. It took me about 4.5 hours to complete thanks to several distractions, but the playtime was probably closer to 3.

I found this to be a strangely emotional little experience, which probably should have been expected since you are playing as a shopkeep at the edge between life and death. I will admit to shedding a few tears by the end of my journey- but they were happy ones. I will be returning for the full version sometime after I have let the experience settle.

My most recent experience-- as of maybe 30 minutes ago, to be precise-- is a lesser-known RPG called Axe Wielding Priest. This was a wonderful switch up from the cozy games I have tried so far, and as a person who adores a good (but understandably controversial) "sanity" mechanic in a game, it scratched my itch for madness.

There are some warnings in the description for blood, self-harm (flagellation), violence, and paranoia, but I thoroughly enjoyed the 2 hours I spent exploring the mind and history of my character.

✒ Conclusion

I am absolutely obsessed. I'm always itching to come up with stories, but have burned many a role-playing partner by being flaky or losing interest. These offer a few overarching mechanics and rules and otherwise let your mind run free. That sense of loose structure is exactly what I need as someone who struggles with ADHD, but also enjoys coming up with solutions within a set boundary.

There are "old-school" solo RPGs out there, as well as others that aren't just acting as a tool for creative writing. I will be trying some of those out as well as the time comes, as well as the games that use physical maps and movement around a grid.

someone hold me to this, tomorrow (sunday feb. 25th) i WILL post that video of my old cat and i WILL review two books i've been meaning to review, you have my word

[review-anon]

Well now I’m sad cause I feel like if “Mitch” is getting the axe, “Kobazing” (the cute nickname Satsuki calls Haru in the current translation) will also not make it. That makes me sad. It’s such an adorable name.

Actually I've heard conflicting accounts on that as Kobazing might be part of the original text so it might be kept in the remake. Don't bet on it though.

I know for a fact Mitch was part of a horrific translation so that is definitely getting the axe though.

But even so we might get a new nickname in its place.

Review: An Ex-Hero's Guide to Axe Handling (Subpar Heroes story) by Jenn Burke

Rating: 5🌈 As a fan of this author, I couldn’t wait for her contribution to the multi-author Subpar Heroes series. It’s excellent! One of my favorites so far. An Ex-Hero’s Guide to Axe Handling includes the two ends of the super hero spectrum. One, Ward Sullivan aka Firefox, a man’s whose talent was so powerful that it’s got him damaged permanently. Now Ward’s bitter and angry about his past…

Toy Review - DX Battle Station Optimus Prime

It’s been nice to see Takara revert to form in the last few years regarding minor changes and upgraded paint jobs.  And this is most certainly evident in the latest Optimus Prime toy from Earthspark when compared to its Hasbro counterpart.  So without further ado lets take a look at DX Battle Station Optimus Prime.   Robot Mode Optimus is redeco of the Warrior-class version of the toy from last…

I hate that I play 5+ string bass and am interested in high-end bass-only pedals so no store in this godforsaken city has any of them in stock for me to fool around on and I refuse to buy anything I haven’t played

there's no way 'balleraggot' is actually real but if I've learned anything from recent booktok drama it's that we're on the cusp of uncovering a way worse and more bizarre scandal surrounding someone connected to this story

[faytelumos]

Any recommendations on what to list on reviews? haven't been on Tumblr that long so I'm not sure on what the biggest issues are, also I'm not sure on who to ask so I thought I'd try with you :')

(also: LOVE the pf, Jason is one of the Boys of all time ♥️ funny AND hot? I'll take two to go, please. saying this as an avid Riddler fan, who is such a loser)

No worries, friendo!

For review bombing Tumblr, issues that I know of are:

•The new photo viewer does not allow people to zoom in. This makes it harder for people with poor eyesight to read text and see details.

•There are flashing/eyestraining ads that users now have to allow to take up their entire screen in order to pass and continue scrolling.

•There are some people saying you can't listen to videos unless you have push notifications on. (I haven't experienced this, but I saw someone mention it.)

•Americans cannot turn off Tumblr Live for more than a week at a time. (It's incredibly annoying and an invasion of internet privacy.)

•It is much harder to report abuse and hate speech than it is to report sexual content and spam.

And that's about what I know of; honestly, I used the main blackout proposal post for most of these because they did list a series of demands. I also don't know where else to go to find a more complete list, but I think this can at least get you started.

(Also, yes, thank you, Jay is My Boi, I love him so much, he's terrible and amazing and I love him. And don't worry; Jason's a loser, too, haha!)

So tired of tiktok experts telling me everything is always wrong with me?? Please fuck right off?

Genuinely… what gives you the right to diagnose randoms on the internet?

Why do you have such a burning need to blanket everyone with whatever random thought pops into your head??

mandalorian season three ending was most definitely the way. spectacular.

[nimata-beroya]

MY THOUGHTS ON THE MANDALORIAN - Chapter 23: "The Spies"

Right now, I have the mighty need to pay Jon Favreau a visit. One which would be not beneficial for his overall health. I heard vague rumors that this episode was going to be a rough one to watch, but I avoided catching any details. I don't know if knowing what was going to happen would've made it easier to bear, but dang! It hit me hard.

Loosing yet another of my beloved characters in a short time has me reeling. How dare you, Favreau? HOW.DARE.YOU?! It started very funny, but that ending destroyed me.

This is going to be a long one (testament to how great the episode was). So read at your risk.

Hmm, this imperial chick again. What are you up to now? who are you meeting with? I don't think Gideon is bold enough to be on Coruscant, but… Oh, a probe droid! ok, through a holo, yeah that makes sense. And there he is! Ugh! Poodoo is going to hit the fan now.

Woah! where are you hiding, Gideon? This is cool and terrifying.

A meeting! Do I know anyone there?

Oof! Imperial using the same tactic that the rebellion used at the beginning of appearing nothing more than an unorganized group of remnants is like YIKES! 😬😬 Dare I say whose idea that was? Perhaps from a blue grand admiral well-known for studying his enemy and using their tactics against them?

HUX?! PALLAEON?!! OMG OMG OMG!!

LOL Shadow Council? Couldn't you find something more original. Just sayin'

Of course, Gideon is trying to take power from Thrawn while he's not around. Gideon, let me tell you right now that you'll lose, my friend, and you won't know what hit you once Thrawn put you in your place. You think you're a step ahead of everyone, but he's 10 steps ahead of you!

Ok, here we go! will Mandos behave?

Nicely done, Armorer. Big mama reminding younglings to be in their best behavior 😆

From Coruscant? How did you get that Karga, hmm? (Side note: this seemed sus to me since the first time I was watching the episode, but even more after I was done)

IG-11!!!

Oh, poor Grogu 🙁 he got scared as soon as saw the droid. Not that I blame him because of how things went last time.

IG-12? lol A mecha, nice solution.

Now, Grogu is happy!

🤣🤣🤣 bad baby! no squeezie! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Greef Karga is grandpa ™ spoiling Grogu rotten and Din can already see that this will bring more chaos to his life. He can feel it! 😂

OMG!!! Grogu can communicate now. His first word!! Sorta… and it's so appropriate that it's "No". Grogu officially entered the terrible twos! Din is doomed now 🤣🤣🤣 This is so hilarious!!

🤣🤣 Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Din makes the example, of course! and he volunteers Grogu too?! Are you insane? Actively taking your son into dangerous situations is not good parenting, Din. JFYTK! But I love that Grogu stands immediately.

Koska and Axe, too. I guess that was obvious. YES!! Good for you, Paz! (Side note: After watching the episode, I no longer think it was a good decision, Paz. You should've stayed 😭😭)

Ooh! The armorer is going too? With the vague rumors I heard that this episode will end not in the happiest terms, I have the feeling she might die 😩 I don't want that! (SN: yeah, my spidey senses weren't that off, after all. Somebody died 😭😭😭)

Ooh! the heartbreak of everyone watching Mandalore's surface from the Gauntlet 😖

What's that? Oh! More Mandalorians? On the planet? Why do I think this is sus? I mean, they could be working with Gideon to lead them to a trap (UGH! sometimes I hate being right! or maybe not, but it's really sus that these guys appeared and let the party just to where Gideon's base is? like 👀)

OH!!! Bo-Katan is telling what happened finally!!! (I've admitted before that I was never her biggest fan, but I feel for her. Obviously, Gideon didn't give her much of a choice and took advantage of that. And she has changed a lot since then and even before that. Her wise words come from painful experiences)

I like that Bo is admitting her mistakes out loud. Not spelled them out entirely, but enough for me to be appeased. One of my criticisms about her arc is the vague mention of her past mistakes. I don't mean it as to forever punish her for them, but to show how far she's come all these years. Because casual fans who haven't watched TCW or Rebels don't know she was Death Watch. And to me, that's an important thing.

And I ADORED Din's speech!!! And it's the confirmation of what I thought Bo's arc was about. It's about showing others and herself that what has value in a leader is not the blood or ancestry, nor possessing a magic weapon, but who you are as a person. Like Din says: honor, loyalty, character. And his vow brought tears to my eyes 🥹

So the Armorer is not going? 🤔 So maybe she doesn't die, but if she doesn't, who will? 😣

and these guys know exactly what they're going 🤨 Yeah, definitely sus. Something is going to happen and I'll hate it!

🤣 Paz and Axe playing together? Danger! Danger stranger! This is going to end badly… see what I mean! I'm not even surprised that Paz is the one issuing the challenge. And of course, Axe won't back down.

it should be embarrassing for both Paz and Axe that a child has to intervene and stop them. But I'm wheezing! it's so funny.

What do you mean, Din?! You've taught him that too!! from the top of my head, I can remember not less than 6 times that you've tried (at least) to deescalate, if not stop altogether, a fight. I mean, you just were going to do exactly that!!!

Oh my gaaaaawwwddddd! Din and Grogu nodding to each other!!! OMG that's so cuuuuuuute!!! 🥺🥺🥰🥰

Ok, I'm getting nervous, because I know something big is going to happen and I don't know what!

Wait! What the hell is that?!! Is that the Mythosaur?! (On the second viewing, I paused it to check carefully, and no, it's not the mythosaur. I don't see the tusks, so it has to be another nameless monster)

awww uncle Paz and Axe saving Grogu together 🥰

🥰🥰 Din "the galaxy's best dad" Djarin checking on his kid (But my dear, this is exactly why you shouldn't have brought him!)

Oh, dank ferrik! Imperial commandos?! Ugh! Stormtroopers, lots of them 😖

oh fuck! no no no no!!! That looks too imperial!!! There's a post there!!! AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! I knew it!!! It's a trap!

Nooooo!!! stop it!!! Turn around!!!! TURN AROUND!!!!

I TOLD YOU!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

DIN!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!

I KNEW IT!!!!! I've been saying since episode 2 that dark troopers were made of beskar alloy!! Somebody listened to me? probably not many.

Oh fuck fuck fuck fuck!!! No, DIIIIIIIIIIIN!!!!

yeah, that would've been nice, Bo. Problems for many people would've gone poof if Gideon were dead!

yeah, like that trick would work twice! Pfft! Please Gideon, come up with something better

omg omg omg!!!! nooooooo Paz!!!!! NOOOO!!!!!! NO that's NOT the way!!! noooooooo!!!😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Afterthoughts

I'm devastated because Paz is my second favorite mandalorian after Din, and I can believe that I've lost 2 characters very dear to me in as many weeks! Why they want to ruin my comfort shows with this level of angst?!! Gosh, it hurts!! All I can think about is in the poor Ragnar that's now fatherless 😭😭😭😭💔💔💔 (Does he have a mom, or he just turned into a foundling for a second time in his short life?)

There's something else that was left without a clear answer. Who the spies are? Because, yeah, Elia Kane is A spy, but the title is in plural, so who is or are the other(s)? I have several suspects.

The first ones, of course, are the "survivors" in Mandalore. They seemed to be in the right place and right time and knew exactly how to go where the others needed to go. Suspiciously convenient, too convenient.

But maybe, they're not the spies, if Jon Favreau chose to be a little less obvious. If not them, then it could be the armorer. I mean, everyone is suspecting her. She has always been pretty sketchy and super mysterious and manipulative, and this season she has had all of us going back and forth with her inconsistencies. And the fact that she went back to the ship in orbit instead of going to the main forge, a place she spoke with such a fondness just before they were led to a trap? Sus, very sus!

However, after thinking all day, there's one thing that makes a case in her favor. If she is the other spy and is working with Gideon, why was he so surprised, like genuinely shocked, that the children of the watch and the nite owls were teaming up? Why she didn't tell him? It could be that she's playing both sides; it's a big possibility, but maybe she's not the spy. She's just the distraction from the real thing.

(Also, there's like a sort of plot armor with her, I think. Someone really big badass needs to be in the fleet when the bombers attack to lead the counterattack, since everyone else (known BAMFs, I mean, not extras) is on the planet's surface, Jon F gave her the job. Maybe?)

My third suspect, and I can't believe I'm going to say this, but what if Greef Karga is the spy? I know he has changed a lot since season 1, and he's a good friend to Din and a sorta grandpa to Grogu, but that thing with the bottle from Coruscant raised all my red flags instantly. At first, I didn't know why, but once I watched the whole episode, it went from a silly thing to a big red flag! I hope I'm dead wrong and this is just my hyperactive imagination playing tricks on me. But now under this light, even the gesture of welcoming all the Mandalorians on Nevarro could take a new nefarious meaning.

If you think my list of suspects is done, you're mistaken. I have 2 more. Axe Woves and Koska Reeves. Him, because his ego might be still wounded that Bo kicked his ass last week. I mean, it's a lame excuse, but he wouldn't be the first to do something like this for that reason. And she because there's nothing suspicious about her. It's crazy, I know, but the best traitor/spy/etc. in any story is who no one expects to be. Even if she had a nice moment with Bo sharing a silent conversation before Bo said how she surrendered to Gideon, and Koska was the first of the nite owls to volunteer to go to Mandalore, she still could be the spy. And it'd hurt Bo greatly that either of them betrays her to Gideon.

In conclusion, I suspect of everyone except for Din, Grogu, Paz (RIP), and Bo. Everybody else is a person of interest in my book. And there's a whole week of waiting to know the answer to this and to the fate of Din! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! How will I stay sane till then?

I warned you that this one would be long, and I think I've spoken enough, so I'll shut up now. See you next week!

Today’s review: Star Wars Black Series Axe Woves!

This figure was actually a bargain find I had a few days ago. What with The Mandalorian season 3 giving Axe a leadership battle role and making him more of a new-age Pre Visla, I was stoked to find him on sale in GAME for only £12 vs his original £25 pricing. Online sales have been extortionate as he’s now more desirable and out of print.

Anyways, the figure himself is fantastic but not without flaw. I really like his articulation and the simplistic loadout of a backpack, helmet and pistol make him easy to display. But as he’s a re-use of an existing figure mold with some new parts there’s a lot of loose joints on him. The helmet, too, is very loose on the head. I’d say the biggest issue though is the backpack. It doesn’t secure right and always fall off when on display. I’ve since added a thickener to the joint but still it’s a little annoying.

That said I still love this figure. The paint apps are spot on and he’s a lot of fun to mess around with. Plus the head sculpt and its paint are perfect, very lifelike.

I give Axe Woves 7/10 - Some tighter joints and a better backpack would perfect this figure.
