CONTENT WARNING: MÖRK BORG is a dark, brutal game which will be full of potentially disturbing (non-sexual) content and gory, graphic descriptions so listening discretion is advised! Hello everyone and welcome back to the One Guy One Roll solo roleplaying podcast! I am so excited to continue playing the wonderful doom metal meets pickaxe to the face inspired MÖRK BORG enhanced with the solo rules supplement Sölitary Defilement.  This episode sees us continue to follow Qillnach as he takes his first shaky steps out into the wider world while trying to piece together his shattered memory. I really hope that y’all enjoy listening to the episode, I think it is perhaps the best I’ve recorded to date. As always, thank you so very much for taking the time to listen to the podcast!

S04 E01 - Lichdom - The Descent
Happy Spooktober everyone and welcome back to the One Guy One Roll Podcast! In honor of the spookiest month of the year, I have decided to start a new mini series using Lichdom! A lovely indie solo RPG in which you play as a sorcerer attempting to achieve immortality by ascending (descending?) into a lich. This game is quite simple and heavily relies upon storytelling delivered through prompts from a standard deck of 52 playing cards. While episode 1 ended up having a lot more world and character development than I expected, I was able to squeeze a little bit of proper gameplay into the episode. Things are going to be quite a challenge for Vrakh the Imperishable! I had an absolute blast creating this episode and I hope that y’all enjoy listening.

S04 E02 - Lichdom - Frozen Hell
Happy Spooktoberween everyone and thank you for tuning into the One Guy One Roll podcast! In honor of the spookiest day of the year, we are diving back into the twisted mind of Vrakh the Imperishable. Once again, I absolutely loved using the super simple indie solo RPG Lichdom to continue to tell the story of a mortal sorcerer journeying along the path to inevitable immortality. Much like in episode 1, things have not gotten much easier for the infamous Vrakh as our streak of bad luck continues. Fortunately, we are slowly gaining in power and knowledge in our quest to ascend (descend?) into Lichdom. Thank you so very much for taking the time to listen to the One Guy One Roll podcast!

Hello everyone and welcome back to the One Guy One Roll podcast! Even though we are no longer in the spookiest month of the year, we are diving back into Lichdom and the evil and twisted mind of Vrakh the (not yet) Imperishable.Unlike in the first two episodes, things appear to maybe be getting slightly better for our infamous anti-hero as he attempts to wiggle his way into freedom. I am out of town for the next two weeks so unfortunately I will not be able to record another episode next week but I am planning on finishing out this mini series so I hope that y’all are enjoying it as much as I am!

S04 E04 - Lichdom - First Truth
Welcome back to the newest episode of the One Guy One Roll podcast! We are once again playing Lichdom and diving into the twisted and corrupted mind of Vrakh the (hopefully soon to be) Imperishable. This is quite the exciting rollercoaster of an episode so I hope that you enjoy listening to it as much as I did recording it! This amount of world building and setting development that has occurred during this podcast has been really entertaining for me so far and if anyone is interested, once the series finishes I would be happy to provide all my notes and materials I have accumulated for this dying and decaying setting.

S04 E05 - Lichdom - Sail Away
Welcome to One Guy One Roll the solo roleplaying podcast where I play roleplaying games for your listening pleasure. We are heading back into Lichdom with episode 5! This is the first episode where Vrakh really starts to make some reasonable progress in his quest to achieve immortality as a lich. As long as the cards continue to play nice, it seems possible to wrap this season up in one or two more episodes. I am unfortunately going to be gone for the last two weeks of December for work, but hopefully I will be able to publish one final episode for 2023 next week!

S04 E06 - Lichdom - Second Truth
I am so happy to be back after the holidays and able to make yet another episode for the One Guy One Roll solo roleplaying podcast! Once again we are diving back into the lovely rules light RPG Lichdom where we are exploring the twisting story of how Vrakh the (not yet) Imperishable achieved his ascension into immortality through becoming a lich. Things really start to come together during the exciting episode and we are starting to get really close to our first attempt to conduct the ritual. I do hope to be able to produce and edit another podcast next week, but between last minute work calls, getting sick and having our furnace go out during record freezing conditions, it has already been a bit of a rocky start to 2024.

Hello everyone and welcome back to the One Guy One Roll podcast! For one final time we are entering into the dark, haunting world of Lichdom as Vrakh, our favorite necromancer, finally gets to attempt the ritual of turning into a lich after a century of preparation. I really hope that y’all have enjoyed this mini series and if you have any recommendations for what you would like to be on the next episode, please do feel free to reach out through the Reddit post, Discord or via Patreon. We will likely be either returning to Ironsworn: Starforged or Ronin, but I am always open to other options. As always, thank you so very much for taking the time to listen to the podcast!

S03 E01 - Ronin One Shot - The Wanderer
Hello dear listeners and welcome back to the One Guy One Roll podcast where I have a new One Shot for y’all today. Unlike the first One Shot, where I played the wonderful game Artefact by Mousehole Press, I have decided to split this ‘One Shot’ into different sessions so the episodes stay within the standard time constraints of the main show. My intention was to limit the amount of editing required while making this kind of content so just be aware that this content is likely to not be as carefully manicured as the main show. During this first episode of Ronin I have nothing but positive opinions about the system and I hope everyone enjoys listening to it as much as I have enjoyed recording it. Anyways, please sit back, relax and enjoy the story of Ginjiro as we explore the exciting world of Sengoku era Japan.

S03 E02 - Ronin One Shot - Orange With Black Stripes
Good morning, afternoon or evening and welcome back to the One Guy One Roll solo RPG podcast! Today we are diving back into the story of Ginjiro the Orphan as we wander through the feudal Japanese countryside having interesting encounters and situations. As you might have noticed, I have decided to update the organization system for One Guy One Roll so it is a little bit easier for me to organize all of the content on the channel. Instead of One Shots being assigned Season 0, each different system is being given its own season. Much like after finishing Episode 1, I have nothing but positive opinions about the system and the stories you are able to create using it. Anyways, please sit back, relax and enjoy listening to this week’s episode. As always, thank you so very much for taking the time to listen to the One Guy One Roll podcast!

S03 E03 - Ronin One Shot - An Old Friend
Welcome back dear listeners to the One Guy One Roll podcast! Once again we are going to be playing the RPG Ronin, continuing the evolving story of Ginjiro the Orphan. Ginjiro is an ex-samurai who is wandering through the feudal Japanese countryside having all kinds of interesting encounters with different people and events. Although we have been taking a break from playing Ironsworn: Starforged over the last few episodes, do not worry! It is absolutely my intention to return to playing as Nikora, but I just needed to take a break from that story and try out a new RPG system which I had been greatly enjoying. Anyways, I hope that you enjoy listening to this episode of the One Guy One Roll podcast! As always, thank you so very much for taking the time to listen to the One Guy One Roll podcast!

S02 E01 - Artefact One Shot - The Rainstick
Hello dear listeners and welcome back to the One Guy One Roll podcast where I have something quite different to present to y'all today. I felt like I needed to take a bit of a break from working on Ironsworn: Starforged (don’t worry we will be back into the story of Nikora soon) and decided to start up a new project I am calling One Guy One Roll One Shots. These will all be called Season 0 and I really had a great time with this different kind of format. Just be aware that these One Shots don’t have any time constraints and are also more rough cut than the main show. My intention was to limit the amount of editing required while making this kind of content so just be aware that this episode is not as carefully manicured as the main show. I have nothing but high praises for Artefact and I highly recommend the system for anyone that is even slightly interested in solo RPGs and want to experience something that honestly made me feel real emotion and connection to my artifact, a staff known as The Rainstick. I hope that everyone enjoys this considerably different content than usual! Thank you so very much for taking the time to listen to the One Guy One Roll podcast!

S01 E05 - Ironsworn: Starforged - Redrum
Good morning, afternoon or evening and welcome back to the solo roleplaying podcast One Guy One Roll. Hard to believe we are already on episode 5 of Ironsworn: Starforged, where we are currently following the story of Nikora Sokolov aboard the space station Prosperity. This episode begins with a quick discussion about how the Mythic GM emulator works when introducing a new scene and the effect of chaos factor. After that, Nikora makes a gruesome discovery while exploring the trade center. This horrific discovery help us to uncover additional background information about the basic political structure of the forge. Leaving this section behind, Nikora returns back to the elevator shaft and makes an exciting discovery which brings him a little closer to resolving one of the major issues aboard the station, although earns himself a few new bruises in the process. As always thank you so much for continuing to listen to me ramble on for about 30 minutes twice a week. I can't wait to see what other kind of shenanigans Nikora can get up to as we continue to explore the Prosperity. Any comments or suggestions are greatly appreciated! Further episodes will continue to be released once or twice a week as I am able to produce them. Have a great day y'all and stay safe out there.   Links: One Guy One Roll Podcast: https://oneguyoneroll.podbean.com/ Ironsworn and Ironsworn: Starforged: https://www.ironswornrpg.com/ Mythic GM Emulator: https://wordmillgames.com/mythic-game-master-emulator.html   Intro and Outro music provided by: Signal To Noise by Scott Buckley | https://soundcloud.com/scottbuckley Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.com Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
