journal games

author: slimelia   date:

i've been looking at singleplayer ttrpg games lately because it turns out i own a fair few as a result of various itch.io bundles i've bought throughout the years!

i've yet to play any, but i must admit the "solo journaling rpgs" have piqued my interest. it's just not something i knew even existed and i feel like it might be a fun creative writing exercise

i own the alone on a journey zine which contains 3 games in it, and i printed the printable booklet version a good few months back now and never touched it.

i keep toying with the idea of playing one of these journaling rpgs and posting the journals here - either one post every day or just one post a week. but i also.. don't know if i'm willing to be that vulnerable in a public setting. i suppose i could write the journals to my gemlog, which is still public but feels more private because of how it is accessed.

i dunno. do you think it'd be interesting? should i bite the bullet and be publicly vulnerable or hide my shame in geminispace? have you heard of solo journaling rpgs, or played one yourself? i'd love to hear what you think! thoughts on a postcard to slimeblog@slimelia.uk

that paragraph made me sound like a blue peter presenter lmfao
