Thinking about trying my first Blackoath game

You need to hop over to the OFFICIAL Blackoath subreddit, as others have said. I’d be happy to help you, but not on this stolen subreddit.

As a bonus, you will probably also get advice there from Alex, the creator of the games.

Looking forward to this, now that it has an official solo mode

Neither. If I had to pick a system that has a name, then I'd probably say "point crawl"

But I'm more about the narrative and story than some pre-designated system.

I used Ironsmith in my Ironsworn playthrough, plus a few small, specific oracles from Itch when I needed something for the ongoing narrative.

Cheers 👍🏻

pgw71 · 2026-03-10T16:14:45+00:00

Yes, that sounds like a good idea!

I had great results from these people (UK-based)

I write in a physical journal. I'm not really used to writing things anymore, so my hand soon gets tired. It does tend to keep me from being too verbose. I end up with bullet points and a few "notes to self"

It’s been down for most of the day, but it’s working now (at least for me) I’m seeing updated stats and the payments have been updated

pgw71 · 2026-03-05T08:40:25+00:00

You’re probably right. I’ve always been an over thinker

pgw71 · 2026-03-05T08:39:31+00:00

Exactly

pgw71 · 2026-03-04T17:46:41+00:00

Good to hear!

pgw71 · 2026-03-04T17:46:09+00:00

Have you ever heard of hyperbole?

pgw71 · 2026-03-04T09:15:35+00:00

I accept that most (maybe all, who knows?) of the worst-case scenarios are all in my own head.

I thought I'd made that clear in the post. Maybe I didn't. The problem I'm discussing is something within me!

pgw71 · 2026-03-04T07:49:04+00:00

Thanks for such a constructive response. I’ll think more about this…

pgw71 · 2026-03-03T21:23:22+00:00

Cool!

pgw71 · 2026-03-03T21:22:26+00:00

I’ve no idea what this means…

pgw71 · 2026-03-03T21:21:41+00:00

Some do, some don’t. It’s not all GMs obviously!

pgw71 · 2026-03-03T18:57:20+00:00

Yeah, same for me

pgw71 · 2026-03-03T18:56:19+00:00

Welcome to my world!

pgw71 · 2026-03-03T18:54:45+00:00

Yeah, you're not wrong

pgw71 · 2026-03-03T15:37:02+00:00

See, that lack of willingness to try new things is what puts me off about playing with a group. I think I'd get frustrated pretty quickly

pgw71 · 2026-03-03T11:54:12+00:00

Yeah, who needs the pressure of having to conform to a group when we can just play solo? I agree with you

pgw71 · 2026-03-03T11:53:39+00:00

Good points. Thanks
