- Just a quick video with some Cthulhu inspired games that can be played solo (or co-op for some of them). These are all games that I have enjoyed myself, and each has its own unique way to approaching Lovecraftian horror.
This all makes me think of the Iron Maiden Live after Death album cover. On the headstone it says "that which not eternal lie, stranger aeons death may die." I always thought that sounded tough. The Chaosium books are great. I'm actually playing Alone against the Tide right now. My investigator is so shite though. I fail checks like it was my job. At least Professor Harris' widow was flirting with my character because nothing else is happening in Esbury!
I'm playing it on a rules system that I recently stumbled onto: Tiny Cthulhu, and I have to say that although it's a little simpler than what I usually mess with, the entire tiny d6 concept is really elegant. The source-books do suffer from lack of bestiary and really could do with a good bestiary and more fleshed out stuff like tomes in the Tiny Cthulhu book. There's a ton of tiny d6 books out there, and I'm pretty impressed as a solo player.
Rob, back out of timeout I see! Welcome back buddy! I played Alone Against the Flames maybe 5 times. The 2 ‘good’ endings involved a crucial lucky roll… the ones with the bad endings the dice fell the wrong way. But always had fun.
Is Tiny D6 based upon the West End Games RPG system?
@@booksbricksandboards783 Among the Living!!! I will have to check out Alone Against the Flames. I like that there are endings that come down to die rolls. Right now, I'm not totally sure Banyu isn't playing me for a sucker. I'm suspicious of everyone! I was concerned this would be too choose-your-own-adventure, but it is a legit game.
Totally different system. It's remarkably simple but can also be swingy, which is fun.
