A few times on the channel, I've been asked to show what it actually *looks like* to solo play. Though it is an incomplete portrayal of stream-of- consciousness-internal-thought to try and translate it into words, I do my best to walk through a *relatively* simple game that I'm using *relatively* simple solo rules for, to show you the types of thoughts I have in considerations I make. Hopefully this shows you a little of what it actually looks/feels like and inspires you to give it a try yourself. As you can see one of the most important rules I have for myself is that "there's no perfect answer”; the best approach is to just try different things until you get it right (especially when you are adapting a non-solo game to solo play)
Note: Yes, I know I read all of my dice rolls wrong, I rolled a 5 and 5 and 5 and 4 and 2 and 1 and 1. I ROLLED AND READ AS BEST I COULD

![(Pendragon Solo, Ep 2) Complete Pendragon Starter Set Book I: Sword in the Stone [#PenTAdragon]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/t2Kv_-htcnw/mqdefault.jpg "(Pendragon Solo, Ep 2) Complete Pendragon Starter Set Book I: Sword in the Stone [#PenTAdragon]
I pushed it to the limit in Episode 2 and was able to finish off the ENTIRE Book I of the Pendragon Starter Set. It was worth it: we learned decision/trait rolls, got lots of character development, made some tough decisions, fought TWO fights in an Ultimate Squire Royal Rumble AND...went to the barber.
First 25 mins is some prep and commentary on how the campaign will go. Im thrilled but I have a long way to go! Get to the point people - skip ahead to start of play at 26:30
