In lieu of starting a 4th tabletop RPG bookcase, I am retiring my softcover books to the "great cardboard bookcase on the floor," but before I do, I thought I would do a quick (1.5 hr) run through of them for new solo players. Also featured at the end is a list of 40 SoloRPG/SoloRPG-adjacent YT creators to follow. Together, THIS is your entrance point!
NOTE: Below is the list & timestamp of all the games and creators. If you decide to buy any of the games, it would really help me if you utilized my affiliate links from either @NobleKnight_Games or @DriveThruRPGs Purchasing through these links will support keeping this channel fresh:
