  • A good start. Some suggestions

    This is a nice podcast for those interested in the solo role play niche. I would suggest using some sort of normalization to even out the volume. The bass drum sound between segments is much louder than the rest of the podcast. The other bumper music bits take up time that could be used for longer interviews and so on. I really like the material and this is a relatively new show so some adjustments are expected. Keep up the good work for the community.

Q: What is a good game to start with to play solo for someone used to playing in a group?
There isn't one universal answer; start with something you already know or enjoy, and use starter sets or one-shots to learn the transition to GMing solo. If you like Dungeon Crawler vibes, try systems you're familiar with, and explore solo content to understand your preferences before branching out.
