Solo Journaling RPGs

What are Solo RPGs? Janet sat down with game designer Anna Blackwell to discuss common elements of these fun journaling games, and how they can be a great way to keep playing - even when your gaming group's schedules are a nightmare.

Don’t know if anyone has heard of it yet, but about 2 weeks ago the Kickstarter for the solo sci-fi tabletop game For Small Creatures Such As We released a little racing “minigame” as part of possible character backgrounds! It’s a space race with 12 competitors including you and a potential rival all trying to win the Galactic Cup! I’m gonna do a few posts that’ll detail bits of the race, plus I really wanna do something to try it out and share the fun! If you wanna know more about FACSAW, I’ve linked the Kickstarter page. Even though it ended quite a while ago, I recommend you keep an eye for it once it fully comes out for public sale!

“People are inherently terrible” no!!! Have you ever seen a child wait for their friend while they tie their shoelaces? Have you ever known someone who would bring hurt squirrels and rabbits and mice to the nearest vet just so it doesn’t suffer? Have you seen someone grieve? Have you ever read something that hit your heart like a freight train? Have you looked at the stars and felt an unexplainable joy? Have you ever baked bread? Have you shared a meal with a friend? Have you not seen it? All the love? All the good? I know it’s hard to see sometimes, I know there’s pain everywhere. But look, there’s a child helping another up after a hard fall. Look, there’s someone giving their umbrella to a stranger. Look, there’s someone admiring the spring flowers. Look, there’s good, there’s good, there’s good. Look!!!!

It's the equivalent of dads shaving their face, and their babies seeing it for the first time, freaking out and crying.

Prompt 305

So. Uh. Danny feels like laughing hysterically, because? Ghostwriter was doing a thing, and one of Pandora’s curses escaped and erm, well, now the six of them are in a whole other dimension. At least this place has a lot of abandoned warehouses but still. And well, he guesses he’s no longer the only ‘monster’ now? 

But seriously they all need to find a way back home sooner rather than later, even if they might now be stuck in this world… Fuck.

Audrey watching Siegfried & baby Jimmy All Creatures Great & Small (2020) Season 5, Episode 1

[roominthecastle]

Siegfried & Audrey + the big divorce arc of S4

[stubz]

The younglings played. The younglings read. The younglings talked. The younglings laughed. The younglings paused as they noticed their teachers watching them.

Not their usual mindful gaze, not a glance, not a watch to let them know they are being watched...a different kind of watch.

It was not unsettling. It did not frighten the herbivores. It did not threaten the carnivores. It did not alert the omnivores.

It was a watch that was familiar in a way. Different but familiar.

"Stop staring at us!" they cried

"We're not staring. We're thinking." they replied back, their gaze deepening.

"Well stop thinking at us." the boldest ones said

"Your still staring." the smartest ones said

"What are you thinking about?" the curious ones said.

"Your so small."

"..." "..." "..."

"WE AREN'T SMALL!" the younglings protested. The oldest most offended. The middle most annoyed. The youngest most loud.

"We don't mean your size." one started.

"We mean you're so young." the other finished.

"I'm 8 years old!" "I'm 5!" "I'm 3 and a half!"

"And you have so much to experience." they smile

"You still have to experience taking the shuttle by yourself." they grin to the eldest ones.

"You still have to experience losing your first tooth." they beam to the middle ones.

"You still have to experience your first playdate." they whisper to the youngest.

The younglings pout and huff. The younglings protest being small. The younglings, the smartest ones, figure out what's so familiar with the watch.

It was the same watch they got from their parents. It was the same watch they got from when they told them about the new friend they made. It was the same watch they got when they learned how to make a snack by themselves. It was the same watch they got when they learned something new and exciting.

It was the same watch they would see from their teachers for days to come.

The way Siegfried dropped that book like a dirty nappy in a bin the second he and Audrey put on their mummy and daddy shoes for Carmody...... Take that, random posh lady.

foreshadowing: an indication of something that will happen in the future, often used as a literary device to hint at or allude to future plot developments.

Are those just placeholders or is there actual turble information written down? ( ☉_☉)

Haha I can’t quite remember what I wrote down for these, but they’re honestly just meant to take up space!

However I did end up writing little things for each of them (including Raph, though you can’t see any of his.)

Raph’s talked about how he was strong, and how he’d bit Draxum - that strength being very obvious with how hard it was to get him to let go. I think I remember writing something about how he ‘shockingly did not enjoy solitude.’

Donnie’s was talking about how he appeared disinterested in what was happening around him, but there would be repeated moments where he’d show marked intellect. Draxum also notes that “for some reason, the lack of eyebrows is off-putting. Why.”

Mikey’s is discussing his energy levels and how he appeared to perk up whenever mystic energy was present. There was also notes of how Mikey would be the one to most often go into his shell, but rarely for reasons of distress and instead “mostly for comfort.”

Leo’s is talking about how actively responsive, curious, and affectionate he is when seeing Draxum - shockingly so, for a turtle. Draxum also notes that Leo would seemingly smile at him, but “turtles can’t smile. What.”

At least that’s what I believe I wrote! Just little notes from Draxum about his turtle subjects and how even before the mutation they showed signs of not quite being like other turtles (I have a headcanon that being raised for a little bit in Draxum’s lab with all the mystic energy and ooze around them influenced their development.)

your art is beautiful im rly curious about your wc ocs as well!!! what happened to harpy?

Harpy’s injury was by an attempt to drown him on the day where he was supposed to become the leader, by the previous leader. (Leaders in greater way are known as crown holders.)
