These Look Like Great Candidates for One’s Halloween Gaming Table

Professor DM of the Dungeon Craft YouTube channel recently posted a video to his channel about the various tabletop roleplaying games (TTRPG) based on the popular, rules-light MÖRK BORG game. I am not particularly interested in MÖRK BORG , although I wouldn’t hesitate to play in a game of MÖRK BORG if a friend or family member wanted to play and invited me to his or her gaming table.

Some Adventures for the Dungeons & Dragons Soloist or Duo

I have previously posted about my somewhat plodding return to the tabletop roleplaying game (TTRPG) hobby and I have expressed my interest in participating in both solo gaming and traditional group play.

But I recently discovered that there are a number of resources availa

Journeying Solo

In my recent post, “I’m Playing a Game” ( https://www.apirateontheprairie.com/post/i-m-playing-a-game ), I acknowledged that merely interacting with and exploring tabletop roleplaying games (TTRPGs) is an act of play. I collected that nugget of wisdom from a book written by YouTube content creator and solo roleplaying game enthusiast, Geek Gamers. Her YouTube channel ( https://www.youtube.com/@GeekGamers01 ) shares her experiences with solo roleplaying while seeking to guide
