I had intended to run games during Extra Life’s official Tabletop Weekend a few weeks ago but health issues got in the way. But every weekend can be Tabletop Weekend if you believe.
So join me April 26-28 for my Extra Life Solo TTRPG Weekend! I’m playing solo TTRPGs and chatting, most importantly I’m raising funds for Extra Life. Every donation enters you in a draw for signed copies of My Mother’s Kitchen, as well as DriveThruRPG gift cards. For the signed books I’ll need your mailing address (I’ll send them anywhere) and for the gift cards I’ll need your email address.
As for the games, it’s going to look something like this:
Friday at 6:30pm MST
I’m starting the weekend out with my usual Solo Friday, playing Eli Hauschel’s Ghost-Fi. Ghost-Fi is a game that explores themes around death and loss. Eli’s product page says it best:
“Death is a tool of storytelling. A necessary one. The most human thing we can do as storytellers is to show how to deal with moments in life, no matter how difficult they may be.”
Saturday starting at 10am MST
I’ve lined up a mix of some favourites along with games I haven’t played before. I’ll be taking breaks in between each session, both to get food and break the VODs up so I can edit them for YouTube a little easier. The day will look something like this:
- The Mysteries of Addy Sea by Lirio Blackburn. A solo journaling game of exploring all thirteen rooms of a haunted bed and breakfast.
- To Swear on Your Honor by Cat McDonald. What sort of legacy will my valiant knight leave behind?
- My Mother’s Kitchen by Fleit Detrik. Playing as a spirit trapped in a family cookbook, can I free myself and continue my journey?
- Remember Us by Mallorie Mize. Explore death, grief, and tragedy through the lens of an adult coming back to their childhood home.
Maybe a bit heavy, but I think this will make for an entertaining day of solo games.
Sunday at 2pm MST
Sunday is a Dead Belt Survival Run! A game of desperate salvage by Navi and Shawn Drake, I’m going to roll up a character and then we’re going to see how long my neophyte belter can survive exploring derelicts ships all alone in the black. I might give myself some plot armor for the first hour or so, so we don’t have too short a stream. But after that the gloves come off and my character lives and dies by the luck of the draw.
I hope you can make it out for some or all of the weekend. Stop by to check out some excellent solo TTRPGs, and of course make a donation to Extra Life. And spread the word, the more the merrier!
