There's a mystery out there folks, and it's been centuries - nay - MEGAcenturies since anyone has tried to crack the case of "Can you make a Solo Mystery RPG?" We tackle this one using the usual systematic rigor that is typical of a man alone video, painstakingly talking out of my bee-hind for over an hour about "what I think." You don't want to miss these thrilling moments:
Talk about mystery in TTRPG
Talk about the problem of mystery in SoloRPG
Talk about what makes a good Mystery PERIODT
Talk about how it might be done in soloRPG
(Timestamps coming from my number one commenter you just wait I know you're out there).
