Techniques and sorcery from 6 shinobi schools: The cunning criminals of the Arashi, the firespitting artificers of the Hibana, the tactful, assassins of the Kuromaku, the keen hunters of the Wanami, the silent spies of the Tantei, and the noble warriors of the Futsumashi.

A rogue's gallery of 40 enemies, ranging from common thugs to powerful, brutish oni.

Note: I have not played this game or its starter set (which is 50% for a limited time). I have played many TTRPGs solo in my life, so I would expect that with a good GM emulator, you can play this system solo as well.

Wilona's Cave

I stated before that I am thoroughly impressed by the work done with Dolmenwood (the setting). I originally bought it to get inspiration and learn how to build a robust setting.

I am building out my own setting of Mirewake. But the original Mirewake file/document is becoming huge. Being the sole creator (author, designer, marketer, illustrator, proofreader, and everything else'er') I am seeing the great benefit of how Dolmenwood began with Zine Issues, Wormskin.

My plan going forward is to update Mirewake's trifold rules and the build a character section (which I have greatly updated and improved upon), then create a series of Zine Issues.

Narrowing the scope of a project will help me concentrate.

Also, I can't wait to get the New & Improved rules out to the public. I'm excited about that!

Also, I can't wait to play a solo series on the channel using Mirewake's system (World of Dungeons hack) and the growing setting that I am creating!

Onward!

JUST RELEASED! - www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/538168/the-warren-…
From Publisher:
Beneath the city of Iskandria, a forgotten threat stirs: the Ratkin, a hive-minded race of hominid rats tunneling through the necropolis of Ker Nethalas toward Veldonia. Warren of the Ratkin introduces a new Domain for the solo dungeon crawler Ker Nethalas: Into the Midnight Throne, filled with peril, mystery, and creeping dread. Players must navigate a sprawling underground civilization where time, the noxious atmosphere, and the will of the swarm shape every decision and consequence.

Warren of the Ratkin introduces:

Unique Mechanics: The perilous atmosphere and unique challenges found in the Warren will force you to measure every step you take and watch every creeping shadow. With new mechanics such as Minutes to Midnight (take too long exploring the Warren and imperil the very existence of Veldonia!), and the Venom system (a unique, stackable condition that warps perception and weakens resolve), every decision you make matters more than ever.

Swarmwrought & Castes: Encounter Marauders, Venom Priests, Pack bombers, and a large variety of new Ratkin enemies, among them the terrible Swarmwrought: creatures born of collective Ratkin will. With over a dozen new creatures (including a new Overseer), threats come in all shapes and sizes!

Persistent Domain: The Warren doesn’t reset; defeated enemies stay dead, and looted items remain gone, making each expedition consequential, even among multiple playthroughs.

Unique Relics & Hazards: Discover powerful new gear like The Reaping of Will and navigate unique, flavorful traps such as Venom Charges and Rat Mines.

Multiple Endings: Choose your fate: submit to the swarm, destroy the Core, or escape to a mirrored world. Each path reshapes your legacy.

Will you survive the Warren of the Ratkin?


Warren of the Ratkin requires a copy of Ker Nethalas: Into the Midnight Throne to play.

Wilona's Cave

Just Released - www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/563193/fire-blood-…
From Publisher:
Fire, Blood, & Teeth is a solo survival and meta-mystery pamphlet RPG about waking alone on an island with no memory of who you are or what brought you there. There weren't many solo RPG's like this and I sort of couldn't believe it so I made it!

Using a standard deck of cards, you explore the island, manage hunger, health, and sanity, craft practical tools from broad material functions (that will make sense when you see it), and gradually piece together what the island means, why you’re there, and who you even are. Discoveries are intentionally interpretive: the game provides structured prompts, and you decide whether what you find becomes food, shelter, a weapon, a clue, or something stranger.

The game is designed as a thinking-focused solo experience rather than a journaling game. No writing is required beyond optional notes or character tracking. Please indulge your wildest non-journaling solo play fantasies with clear instructions, simple mechanics, meaningful choices, and open-ended interpretation rather than freeform diary prompts. No need to buy (and then NOT use) a new $20 Moleskine notebook for this one folks!

Included in the download:

• 1 tri-fold pamphlet ruleset (6 panels, like a brochure for a vacation rental or retirement home).

• 1 two-sided reference and character sheet

• card-based oracles for tons of stuff

• survival systems for hunger, health, sanity, travel, and camping

• functional crafting rules based on material properties (I actually think this little crafting system is kind of a banger!)

• open-ended structure with multiple possible endings. In fact there are infinite endings.

• combat system that I came up with sort of at the last minute but actually kind of rules

Best suited for players who enjoy:

• solo survival play

• being okay with ambiguity

• open-ended symbolic interpretation

• abstract (but not super abstract) resource management

• the TV show LOST. Or at least those who watched an episode.

Play requires:

• a standard 52-card deck

• the pamphlet

• the included reference sheet

• probably an index card or two as the character sheet is a bit narrow if I’m honest.

Suitable for one-shots, extended solo campaigns, or as a reusable island survival framework for other solo RPG playstyles. Also can be used as a placemat at a Diner.
