Well… that was interesting.

Welcome to ‘Well… that was interesting‘, a unique series dedicated entirely to solo and collaborative solo RPG gameplay. Just as the name suggests, this series is all about those unexpected moments, those thrilling twists, and those fascinating narratives that make each gaming session unique.

Each post serves as a chapter in an ever-expanding chronicle of personal gaming experiences, recounting the ups, downs, and surprising turns of my solo adventures. Whether it’s the triumphant defeat of a formidable adversary, the uncovering of a deep-seated conspiracy, or the simple joy of exploring uncharted territories, ‘Well… that was interesting’ captures it all.

These narratives are not just about recounting tales, they also serve as an inspiration for those embarking on their own solo RPG journeys. Here, you’ll witness the vast potential of solo RPGs – the opportunity for deep character development, the freedom of decision-making, and the thrill of self-discovery.

Join me in ‘Well… that was interesting’, as we delve into the compelling world of solo role-playing, discovering its potential and celebrating its diversity, one session at a time.

It might be helpful to review A Readers Guide to Play Sessions on The Old Bard to gain an understanding of the structure of each post.
