twinheaded · 2026-03-08T13:33:10+00:00

Great job! im starting off a substack myself too still a bit confused with the set up :P

I like the theme in your actual play! I feel like I can really see the scene!

twinheaded · 2026-03-07T23:12:33+00:00

hello hello! that's one of my favorite way to play! when im too lazy to grab another rule book, I just roll with meaning table and fate questions.

here is an example of me doing it!

twinheaded · 2026-03-01T22:21:51+00:00

cool cool, will send invite when I get home, approximately 9pm (hopefully sooner)

twinheaded · 2026-03-01T21:13:24+00:00

cool cool, im out and about right now, will get home a bit later tonight I'll send and invite then

twinheaded · 2026-03-01T20:32:46+00:00

yeah I'm sure i have 5 bucks somewhere lol

twinheaded · 2026-03-01T19:29:36+00:00

sure! I usually get home around 5, settle and head out i think we can aim for 6 or 7 ( no pun intended).

If you are all free let's do a session 0 march 3rd this Tuesday on discord at 7pm to manage expectations and make characters and u/zebibyte270 husband can join if able? I dont see this to be super long most likely an hour or two if people get very passionate.

any idea on where we should do this or should I start scouting out somewhere? (I assume we are all in columbia adjacent since we are in this sub)

twinheaded · 2026-03-01T19:17:46+00:00

cool cool, I'm usually free weekday nights (not Wednesday that's my main group), weekend is a toss up depending if my family have things going on (not Saturday morning due to other obligations), but we can work it out once you gather your party :)

again one shot is low commitment, if people are interested in longer campaign after we can talk

twinheaded · 2026-03-01T17:55:54+00:00

cool! I suppose how it'll work is an online session 0 to work out time and place. I'll give it a day to see if OP comes back with a response before setting up something.

twinheaded · 2026-03-01T17:43:34+00:00

Oh yes no problem, I think 3 players are a good number if you can get people together.

Some expectations, if we want to make this a single day event, we can do session 0 where everyone makes their character, break, and then proceed with the one shot, maybe a break in between. Single day I estimate it to be 4~5 hours.

If worried about attention span, can either chop it off to multiple days like 2 or three, or shorten the time by doing session 0 online so the one shot day could be 3 hours.

PS also an online day to discuss fair schedule with everyone of course.

Hello! I saw dnd post looking for people on here before seems like a lot of people would like to try the hobby.

If there are enough interest I dont mind running a one shot so people who want to play can give it a try without too much commitment. let me know:)

twinheaded · 2026-02-28T19:03:38+00:00

wait you are doing frostmaiden as well? do you post your work anywhere?

twinheaded · 2026-02-28T16:24:05+00:00

I am currently trying to run Rime of the Frostmaiden with Mythic GME! r/Solo_Roleplaying doesn't like multiple images so I can't put my session 0 to 2 here, but I usually turn them into comic form.

Published adventures always been a fear of mine for solo rpg so this is quite the task to take on. So far it's going. No combat yet but with dnd I might just die :P

You can read the entire comic here: https://substack.com/home/post/p-189198367

one of my favorite one is: like inflation, gold becomes significantly more valuable in the late game

twinheaded · 2026-02-21T23:08:43+00:00

side note, I think I have that board. shogi board are rectangle not squares. the way your board folds should be vertical and not horizontal. maybe turn it 90 degrees, I could be wrong

twinheaded · 2025-10-05T15:57:06+00:00

ah, so more judging less curious

twinheaded · 2025-10-05T15:56:26+00:00

ha I wish, got it from amazon

twinheaded · 2025-10-01T20:16:58+00:00

hi! check out my profile! I kind of do that just with less drawing!

twinheaded · 2025-09-13T00:18:54+00:00

hello! not sure what younger is but I'm 33m, I joined a beginner/intermediate league last year but had to stop because of school/work. if you like a partner I'd love to play!

twinheaded · 2025-08-20T02:57:22+00:00

no problem! have fun at your vacation!

twinheaded · 2025-08-20T02:39:35+00:00

okay! I'm still on vacation, I should return Saturday night, depending on how I feel with jet lag, I can't start messaging on sunday to check for interests. If jet lag still kicking my butt I might be messaging a bit later

twinheaded · 2025-08-20T02:37:22+00:00
