I rarely comment on videos. I spend a lot of time in bed due to chronic illness and pain so I usually watch on the tv lol. It’s high time that I rectify this and drop you a note. Because I can no longer commit to playing with a group, solo rp has become a wonderful outlet for stress and anxiety as well as exercising my mental muscles. Until I was recommended one of your videos, solo play wasn’t on my radar. You have opened my eyes to amazing new worlds. Thank you for sharing your insights, experiences, and time with us. 💛✨
I am glad your pilgrimage, painful as it may have been, still has moments of amazement. Thank you for writing this Carmilla, I'll remember it and think of it when I doubt myself
@@amanisalone You’re welcome and thank you for the kind reply. When it gets hard, keep your chin up. I, among numerous others, appreciate you very much!
Wow, wow, wow... wow. Had to pause the video to go buy this. So, you just said the most helpful thing I have heard so far when it comes to oracles. "Think of them as a bounce..." Bounce, nudge, tap, jiggle, whatever. I often struggle to fit the words I get from an oracle into a literal, logical, meaning I can put into the narrative. I'm thinking now that wasn't the goal in the first place. Getting my brain to consider a new and unexpected idea was. Excellent.
I think soloRPGs can be a nifty gateway to smuggle in some healthy metaphysics into everyday life. And thank you for being a force driving that smuggling ring.
cool stuff. Just got the pdf and looking forward to looking through it As a swiss i am always happy to hear people talking about one of our most famous countrymen.

Very interesting explanation, seeing the concept of archetypes through the eyes of a child really helps me to understand it on a deeper level than I had previously. I think The Hero and The Villian are a child's first interaction with the concepts of ontological good and evil.
The impact of our thoughts into the Collective Unconscious reminds me a lot of St. Seraphim of Sarov saying "Aquire the Spirit of Peace and thousands around you will be saved". The content of our inner lives has a real and tangible impact on the inner lives of people around us, and a strictly physicalist understanding of the world fails to explain how this can be the case. Very good video, I will be using this oracle in my games!
Wow I wasn't expecting a Koyaanisqatsi reference. I watched that and all the related movies (Baraka plus the other two -qatsi movies.) on DVDs sent in the mail from Netflix 20+ years ago.
Hey man alone, just be aware you can pull your standard press down stapler apart without opening it so you can press down on the middle of the paper without having to slot it into the mouth
and press it into something that will hold up the paper but take a stapler temporarily. Some kind of cardboard or foam or whatever. (I had the same question the first time I printed a booklet PDF.)
I know you have a serious thing going on with Pendragon, but I really think you should check out Runequest and Unknown Armies 2nd edition. Runequest's writers have said in interviews that they think that the Red Book is the single most important book to help new GMs run the game. Unknown Armies literally turns archetypes into a character class.
@amanisalone Exciting! I hope you post your take on it. I'm new to the system and setting as well. FYI, the starter set has some cool tables hidden in the back of the adventure book.
Video 81 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. What is holding humanity back? Be specific. BONUS QUESTION: What is it exactly that humanity is being held back from?
The mammal brain and its limited tempo of evolution. Old heuristics and brain centers reacting in the same old ways to new sets of problems in new sets of environments. It's all just too damn slow. Posthumanism, now!
I would say it is the inability to face their own shadow and instead projecting it outward everywhere they can find it. This constant search for outer utopia is holding us back from finding our utopia within (i.e. "if you're not in heaven now, you never will be.")
I know people don’t like to be told what to do or limited in any way, but what if there is an evil, controlling influence on humanity that wants you to do ANYTHING but worship the true god in the way that god wants to be worshipped. Wouldn’t this loving, all knowing god warn us from dangers we can’t see. Duet 18:10-12. I know people will casually dismiss what they play as “pretend” and not really casting spells, but isn’t that what practice is? Play. Cats play - to practice hunting. Because there is a distinction in your mind doesn’t mean God doesn’t see you courting disobedience for which we will suffer the consequences. I say No Thanks. I don’t make people do things either.
This video has definitely sold me Jung, but it has almost no word on the actual game oracle you made... It's fine, dude, you're not some salesperson, but Waffle is too strong with this one :D

Thanks! Just so grateful you are sharing this kind of funny, interesting, thoughtful content. My perfect mix of deep and silly fun
John this is way too kind, thank you so much! Wow this is amazing
I’m not even halfway through and I’m already waiting for you to do a Tarot expansion that adds outcomes from the Greater Arcana.
I came here to comment this too. 🙃
I second this motion!
I third this motion
I fourth this motion!
I fifth this motion!!!!!
Vox Gravis is Very Good. Worth more than the price. Great work on this.

Absolutely agree 👍🏾
Really looking forward to this one. Great conversation , love what you’re doing! Printing the booklet now.
Top tier content. Helpful for not only solo play, but navigating and interpreting ambiguities in life.

Picked it up and it looks great. Love how you are tying all this together.
Friendly Tip: Ensure to add this video to your DriveThru product description (or another video)
Awesome suggestion Moses - IT IS COMPLETE!

Instant purchase. This is exactly the kind of thing I love! This is going to be incredibly useful :)
Stop making me buy things 😢. Joking aside. As a starting rpg player you helped me a lot to understand and get into the whole genre.
Less comment writing more BUYING!! I work for the BANKS!!! (you're very welcome my friend and hearing this makes me very glad)

Good selection of artwork.

Most excellent video. Gave me a lot to think about.
10th Place already! Good Job!
saw, bought it, got it binded, satisfied 😮💨

HOW DID I NOT THINK OF THIS!!!!

I saw spades as challenges for my RPG. Clubs? I’ll think about it more. Diamonds are loot. Hearts are life or healing.

Yes, I just bought RuneQuest and the inside cover has a quote from Liber Novus - incredible!!

This is so up your alley!
Very cool!

I think he just means he feels weird using that word in public.

Woah there, buddy! Calm down with the scary imaginary friends trope, we're here to play games and have fun.

Then don't buy it what do I care
