I started a new solo adventure in a contemporary action setting (kind of like the show Reacher). I realized I almost never play a game that doesn't include powers, magic, supernatural, or something fantastical, so it's kind of refreshing!

Here's a very cool actual play using The Secret Of Tockley Manor from Mythic Magazine. I love the depth Daniel has built here! Just reading the list of tools he's used is fascinating.

In Mythic Magazine I did an article with Event Crafter scenarios, which randomly whip up thematic narratives that evolve as you go. The Quiet Table (love that name!) did an excellent actual play of one :) Watching it, this is exactly what I had in mind :)

I had a really nice discussion with PJ at The Solo Roleplayers Podcast, talking about using prepared adventure modules in solo play. We talked about the Deconstructing Prepared Adventures For Solo Play article from Mythic Magazine #50, and even got in a few Scenes of play! Maybe I can return to the show some time to finish the game :)

Curiosity question for solo roleplayers out there: do your PCs engage in combat as often as they would in a group game, or do you find yourself steering away from combat into other adventure activities? I'm wondering if playing solo makes a difference on combat frequency.

So, we're down to the final few days of the crowdfunding for the Spanish translation of Mythic GME 2e! It's been fun watching this process. I see that orders kind of jumped in the last few days, so I'm guessing there are people who wait to the end of a campaign? I'm not fully versed in crowdfunding ways, but I like the excitement :)
