The Old Bard

Welcome to my corner of the web, where I, Keith Richie, otherwise known as The Old Bard, spin tales and share insights from the intriguing world of Table Top Role Playing Games (TTRPGs or RPGs for short). By trade, I’m a software developer and a musician, but in my heart, I’ve been a devoted fan of RPGs more recently.

As The Old Bard, my mission is to provide you with a trove of valuable information, ranging from ingenious techniques for solo play to top-notch third-party resources, and everything in between. Whether you’re an experienced gamer looking to spice up your sessions, or a curious newcomer just dipping your toes into the vibrant sea of RPGs, there’s something here for everyone.

Embark on an exploration of the resources I’ve curated and reviewed on my Resources page. Immerse yourself in the chronicles of my journey with RPGs in ‘My Curriculum Romance‘. Relive my personal solo game experiences, filled with exciting narratives and insightful reflections, by visiting my ‘Well… that was interesting‘ series.

Stay connected with me through your favorite social networks or reach out to me directly. I’m always thrilled to connect with fellow RPG enthusiasts.

And like any good bard should, I also play music. Be sure to check it out!

So, ready your dice and prepare your character sheets. It’s time to embark on this grand adventure together. Welcome to The Old Bard!
