Hi there, I'm Ray, this is my blog where I'll be reviewing and doing actual playthroughs of Solo Tabletop Roleplaying Games (TTRPG), and solo adventures and ...
Round 6 Results Die Roll: 1 Cards: Ace Clubs, 7 Diamonds Prompts: Illicit, News in the Broadsheets This one took a bit of time. Real life got in the way and sapped my motivation to sit down and write. I'm not entirely happy with this chapter, but at least I got something done. Character Sheet Name: Jon Smithson [x][ ][ ][ ] Day 17: Illicit News in the Broadsheets Today was a quiet day. I had no…
Round 3 Results Die Roll: 4 Cards: 4 Diamonds, Queen Spades Prompts: Long Overdue, Letter From a City Official This is a bit of a shorter one this time around. I may update this post with the next entry, I'm not sure yet. Character Sheet Name: Jon Smithson [x][ ][ ][ ] Day 16: A Letter from the Courts I have received truly awful news today. A letter arrived at the inn I have been staying at,…
Round 4 Results Die Roll: 6 Cards: Jack Clubs, 5 Spades Prompts: Dangerous, Walk in the Park I plan on actually referencing this specific chapter later in the D&D game I'm playing Jon in. My idea for Jon is he comes from a heroic sort of culture where boasting is a common form of entertainment. He'll be regaling his companions about the time he faced off against several well armed thugs with a…
Just a quick update on the Barbarian in San Silibia project. I'm still working on it, I just have not had time to really sit and write anything out. I did take time to generate all the remaining prompts for this play-through of the game and I have 16 entries left including the epilogue. Doing this has given me a bit of inspiration for where the story will go. I'm not entirely sure if that's to the…
Round 3 Results Die Roll: 2 Cards: 5 Clubs, 5 Diamonds Prompts: Intriguing, Coffee in an open air Cafe I was not sure what to do with this one at first, in my mind Jon is not the type of person to frequent a cafe, and I had trouble thinking of something he'd find intriguing. Figuring he was from northern lands, the coffee itself might be the interesting thing to him, so I went with that, and tried…
Warning: There are references to slavery, and violence in this one. Round 2 Results Die Roll: 2 Cards: 9 Clubs, 9 Spades Prompts: Shocking, A Visit to the Countryside Because two cards of the same value were pulled, Jon's actions will lead to a change in the city. Because a double value was also pulled, this means that one of the boxes on the sheet gets filled in. Once all boxes are full, the…
The first in a series of actual play posts for a game of A Visit to San Silibia.
A Visit to San Silibia is a journaling game by Jimmy Shelter ( itch.io ), where the player roleplays a visitor chronicling their time in the mysterious fantasy city named San Silibia. San Silibia is described as a city that is not found on any map, both a part of and distinct from our world. Over several rounds of play, cards are drawn to give prompts for the events that happen in that round, and…
