If everyone can remember the true meaning of the holidays - nature's candy in my hand or can or a pie, that's what really matters. Thanks for the big old list of stuff!
Video 80 of me liking and then commenting on every new upload to tell the viewers that the Man Alone Podcast is absolutely some of that sweet, unhinged audio/vocal-honey. Psssst. I’d like to note here the importance of understanding that “being the bigger person” is not always keeping quiet. Sometimes it is being loud and audacious for what is right. Sometimes it is speaking up for others that cannot do it or do not have the confidence to. This is about no particular thing, rather, just a reminder that “turning the other cheek” is not always the right answer or response. Thoughts?
@@DesertDwellerSoloGaming I just saw a danish movie called Speak No Evil (recently had an American remake which was okay but I have some issues with the ending that I won’t share because spoilers), but basically it speaks to this very thing. How sometimes people confuse turning the other cheek for a universal compliance that eventually leads them to losing everything all the time. People are overly aggressive on the Internet and overly submissive in person and it feels like assertiveness is a lost art. I agree completely.
First of all....i must know what cause the falling out to begin with and secondly, i never been so torn between angry, crying, and laughing in my whole entire life! Sir you have to tell us if they saved it or not. Love this alot. **********If you are reading beyond this then you are i waffleland****** So I would like to ask if it is okay to post my solo journey here in the comments? Because: 1. I want to share it with you if you want to hear it...because honestly you inspired and gave me pushes i didn't need to make a crazy ass plunge off the ledge. 2. It has revealed alot me without starting fully playing yet. 3. This would be 2 or 3 of 3 steps i am taking to finally play, but also make the bigger jump of attempting something that has weighed on me alot. Anyway, yeah. Less of waffle than a question/permission request. Lol ~waffling deshi out
Into the Odd is a great suggestion. Odd games that are also great: Cairn 2E! Which is free, or a few bucks to get Print on Demand Or the sequel to ItO: Electric Bastionland. Outside of that, Shadowdark is great for people that think they like Dungeon and Dragon games, but don’t know that there’s a better way.
@ oh I agree, but I do think Free league did a great job of maintaining their core mechanics in their 5e versions…only requiring the character gen and action economy to really make it run as 5e. Personally I’ve adopted the pathfinder action economy into my games limiting attacks to only 2 of the 3 available…and any 2n attack is done without the attack bonus but applies dmg bonuses. I love the LOW (practically non existing) magic in TOR/LoTR5e. And the corruption in Symbaroum/RoS5e is super cool.
@@rlmarin1968 I understand but there's plenty of 5e in the world already. I appreciate the games as they were meant to be, if sticking a 5e makeover on top helps get it to those players who strictly won't play anything else then that's fair. But I would never recommend 5e LOTR over The One Ring, 5e players need to start trying other things, there's a world of games out there for them.
@@mick19 I prefer the original game versions of Symbaroum and ToR as well…but seems hard in my are to get anyone to even consider something other than 5e. Personally I’ve grown tired of 5e…but that’s just me. I never play magic users cuz it always seems so crunchy and I never liked that using it never had physiological or mental consequences. So I prefer Symbaroum and ToR for their approach to minimal magic with consequences.
Looks like its up to me to take Crawford off to drown his sorrows. Because Spenifer gave him the worst early Winter Solstice present She gave him hope.
All I want for Christmas is for Bruce and Spenifer to be happy, like they used to be.
Thanks so much for recommending my work once again!
Your work is awesome
@@warp248 thank you!

Thank you, Spennifer will have such an easy time shopping for me (Bruce)
Bruce is going to have a great Christmas I hope he stays with Spendifer
I'm very invested now in Spennifer and Bruce's relationship. I sure hope those kids persevere.

Crobert is a damn homewrecker. He knows Bruce and Spenny have their problems and he's circling them like a vulture 😭
Into the Odd is a great suggestion.

Cairn 2E! Which is free, or a few bucks to get Print on Demand
Or the sequel to ItO: Electric Bastionland.
Outside of that, Shadowdark is great for people that think they like Dungeon and Dragon games, but don’t know that there’s a better way.
I'm invested, I need to know what happens with Bruse and Speniffer and that cad Crobert, will they make it to new year?
The true gift in this video was the commentary about Bruce and Spennifer…whose relationship is now completely…(roll fate mill)…thanks to of Man Alone.
"Hey honey, let's roleplay a functional marriage!"
Ah, fantasy roleplaying
Big LOL! Great video. Thx.
Very nice list, thank you for sharing. 😊
5:27 - I literally applauded.
Everything made by Blackoath (Alex T) is a must!
"I wish we were real" - Aww.. I was going to have my wife watch this until you said that... But, hey - still a great video.
Hope you're doing alright, Bruce
All I want for Xmas iiiiiiiis youuuuui
1:17s in - if number 1 isn’t a “Man Alone TH-cam Membership” list is bogus…
48:57 aaaaaaaaand we got there!
Someone please reach out to Bruce and make sure he’s doing ok
Bruce works 16 hour shifts because she became Spendifer, you aren't helping here Man.
What is this Death in Space you speak of? Why have I never heard of it? Ordered. Thanks for the suggestion.
Awesome game, I like to use it in the Citizen Sleeper setting.
What do you think of NoteQuest? I think it’s much more fun than 4AD. What do you think for Bruce and Spennifer?
I'm thinking about upping the metagame, my next inn will have a innkeeper name bruce and a spendrift cook named Spenifer
Deck of many dungeons??
Knave 2e??
Theres a humble bundle for free league that has a lot of your game recs rn. Its all digital though
Where’s the link for Vermis ?
Can't post links in comments, but it's on Hollow Press' site
I’d like for you to (if you haven’t already) explain why you suggested ppl skip over the 5e versions of LOTR and Symbaroum.
Because the non 5e ones are better.

This is my first time watching any of your videos. Are you and your wife ok?
I shared this with my significant other but am a bit concerned she may worry Man Alone raised too many relationship red flags!
Why is this video side commentary mocking my faults as a husband? Lmao. Hard watch, my man. I’m gonna go fix my life, brb.
😂 Omg this video
I think you should talk to your wife about how you feel, and/or find a real human to hangout with ..... hoping Bruce find that love he craves
alone where both of you will be by next Christmas lmao , I am subscribing lol
