Amazing band, one of the best gigs I've gone to this year.

I always liked the Monty Python one, and want to try the pirates themed one. Fluxx games are really fun indeed.

UK maybe?

Depending on what I am looking for:

• BBC Radio 6: mainly new stuff, although I have been surprised with very good oldies.
• The newsletter To the teeth for all things metal https://totheteeth.substack.com/ The playlist in spotify is really good too.
• Last.fm, even if it's not as used anymore, I still find very good recommendations there.
• Spotify Discovery playlist has surprised me a lot in the past, but not that much lately. It suggests me what I was in the mood to listen to last week, maybe not that much today. The daily mixes are fine, but it's pushing the same songs too much.
• The website https://1001albumsgenerator.com even if I am not a fan of some genres, it's good to learn about some records.

From this same thread I am sure I will use https://www.gnoosic.com in the future.

This looks great. I'm looking forward to getting the finished version.

The standard solo recommendation currently is Ironsworn: great mechanics, fun, and free. It's easy to play as all the rules can be explained as: throw dice and the result can be good, "good but (something not so good happens too)", or bad.

You also can get Black Streams Solo Heroes. A small supplement with rules for solo OSR. Maybe Cairn or Mausritter can be easier if you have no experience. Even Mork Borg has a free version, combined with the solo rules Solitary Defilement can be amazing if you like the setting

Some solo games are more focused on the journaling side, pretty much making up what happens based on some random prompts.

Another option is getting a game master emulator. There are lots for free that you could use pretty much with any game. "One page solo engine" is a great option.

Spending time making battlemaps is gaming too! But I totally understand what you mean.

Yes, I spent some hours (time passed quickly) checking some games in the workshop. I'm quite impressed with some of the findings.

I just bought it today, so I really would like them to be welcome!

As a main solo player, do you have any suggestions? I got it to test new games before buying, but I can see myself using it exclusively for some specific games with long setups, so I can pause mid game to continue later.

Or just the website if you can't support the developers https://goblin.tools/ No need to install anything, it works great using the browser.

I found about it not long ago (also because my partner suggested it: "you may like this - Like? I love it!)

It's a fun vr game! I used to play Eleven table tennis non stop, but this one is keeping my friends and me busy in a similar way to you: great sessions once a week.

I can't pick just one band, however, I clearly remember the first time I listened to

• Black metal as a genre
• Aphex Twin
• Aenima by Tool
• Traversee by Year of no light
• Black Sabbath
• Industrial Rock in general and Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails in particular
• Hyperballad by Björk

I'm sure there are more if I think for longer.

I recently played a small campaing with Cairn and I enjoyed what these systems with a few abilities achieve. Barrow Delver is a nice set of solo rules for it.

Mausritter is a great intro to the "OSR spirit": due to the player being a mouse, you won't be a hero for long if you run straight to every dangerous situation. Einzelmaus exists to play it solo.
