Dragonbane! You've nailed the vibe I got from reading the rulebook, and I'm hyped to see you trying out Lantern of solitude, I've been interested in it since picking up and reading through the Silent Cloister. Good luck noble frogs!

Thanks, Solum! Having a ton of fun with it. And it's great that you also interpret Dragonbane as more chill. A lot of people take it so seriously hahah

The Conan the Batrachian killed me! What an excellent start to a campaign! Your Frogkin duo is fire. I'm really pumped for this actual play. Dragonbane has so much character, it is certainly one of my impulsive RPG buys that I do not regret. The system is simple enough to run solo and crunchy enough not to be simplistic. I am rooting for our green skin guys!

Hahah thanks a lot for that, really appreciate it!

I'm 100% with you, it's a simple but rewarding system, with a satisfying crunch.

This has the makings of a pretty epic adventure. I'm with you on enjoying sturdier characters, and I bet it will make for some good shenanigans. I'll definitely be following along.

Ah, Dragonbane! On my list to get sometime.

This has such a light and fun atmosphere. I can picture these Frog Kin so well (the great art at the top sets the stage) as they interact with the bothersome humans.

The Lantern of Solitude seems very worthwhile to check out.

Thanks, Kerova! It's a well written adventure, with a lot to help first time solo players and veterans alike. I'm really liking it.

Great write up! Really like those character sheets, they definitely look like they'd be easier to work with than editing pdfs. I'll be interested to see how both characters having army of one works out as well. I think rules as written the army of one heroic ability is only supposed to work when you are fighting alone, but having two characters with the ability will definitely let you have much bigger and challenging fights!

Thank you! I've found these sheets online (maybe on the Dragonbane Discord? I forget). Here they are if you want: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1c9TqhSEvwG57U0ojmU4Fi9MJFlADW1OqPKGN_EWlcpA

Yeah, Army of One is for single characters only per the solo module, but I have more fun with sturdier characters hahah. I don't think that dying early makes for good playing or reading, but a lot of people like that!

Thanks for reading.

Hahah I think I'll get back to when Densetsu comes out. I'm really glad you were enjoying, thanks for that.

You know after rereading this I never thought anybody would actually start in Mirewake. That’s interesting.

Hahah yeah, it sounded like a great place to introduce the characters and start the campaign rather then going directly to the first mission. And since I didn't have any gold, I figured it wouldn't break anything.
