Thanks for covering this, I’ve been reading through this and will hopefully give it a try soon. This channel never seems to miss a sweet new solo book coming out, no matter how small :) Great to hear your thoughts as always.
Love the booklet! I really like the 2d6 system. The only problem I can see (and I found out that many solo rpg systems lack) is the lack of the player’s motivation which makes solo play so much easier. Knowing what the character wants or why is there can make the solo session easier for new solo players. When I play solo I like to draw beside the motivation 3-5 squares and I check one each time I roll a critical failure. Once the squares fill up something happens at that point that resolves the players motivation. This makes the play so much fun and if you play a written adventure it plays differently every time.
There is a motivation table I cover towards the end of the video! I agree that it’s crucial, especially when you’re starting a new session or campaign.
A bit sad that there are no mentions of Barbarian Prince and Arnold Hendrick, and to help people discover the original and still one of the best solo rpgs (and it is still freely published by Dwarfstar games). At least the name is a direct reference to Cal-Arath.
Ah yeah! I definitely should have at least mentioned the reference. I do enjoy Barbarian Prince though I suck at it, I keep dying after not being able to cross the first river :P
Would b great to see playthrough! Sounds like a good place to start for solo.
thanks for pointing this out! looks very neat
No problem! It seems right up your alley :D
Thanks for covering this! You definitely bumped it up towards the top of my “to print” list!

Could you please tell how you home print pdf? To be able to fold it as a booklet
Did you print it out or did the booklet come that way?
I printed it out!
How does it play with a solo character?

Everyone sucks at Barbarian Prince! @@Chaoclypse
Hi - the name is obviously a tip of the hat and there is another head nod in the beginning adventure motivations
