Rolling AloneShow Notes
Welcome to the Rolling Alone Podcast The "home base" for this show is the Rolling Alone Substack Drop by and comment, like, share. I write 3-4 posts per week, including reviews, tips, ideas and play reports about my Solo RPG journey. Join me as I "think aloud" about designing my upcoming Solo RPG. I have created a 2-page version for the 2026 Game Jam. It's a vertical slice of the eventual full game, and it can be downloaded and played as PWYW on Itch. My 2-page game is called The Apartment Below. Feedback welcome! I will be updating the game and discussing it on my Substack
