Hey, thanks for all the positive comments, folks! Means a lot to me that all you people are getting something good out of this little experiment of mine. I’ll try and keep ‘em coming once a week.
Out of curiosity, where did you get the "threads" concept? I'm thinking it must be a Savage Worlds game mechanic and I definitely like it, but I did an internet search for it and have come up negative. Thanks!
It’s from the Mythic GM Emulator.
@@MeMyselfandDieRPG Thank you, sir! I'll take a closer look at the book.
Only just found this series I'm trying to learn to play dnd 5e solo and this is going to be a huge help, thankyou sir
Thank you so much for this. I'm new into solo rpging and was overwhelmed with Mythic. Somehow you have made it feel less daunting.
Hello, Trevor! I watched this episode with my boyfriend. He was very engrossed in seeing Sgt. Garrick and the town get wiped off the face of the map, forever. We both can't wait to see the future of the story as time continues.
within 20 minutes or less I was so attached to Wilborg that I was actually kinda sad when he died ;-;
SPOILERS 😉
I've always had a little problem watching big group D&D games personally, in that there's always just too much going on and it usually ends up giving me the sensation of "feeling left out of the friend group", but this series has allowed me to be a lot more immersed and feel like I'm actually a part of something, that I'm really involved with the story even if I'm only just watching. Great stuff, honestly.
My problem with group RPGs on CZcams is they drag on for hours without any real action. Solo seems much more focused.
@@shaneintheuk2026 Okay, you clearly don't actually play TRPGs, so I have to ask, why are you interested in watching other people playing them?
So, do you need to play TTRPGs in order to enjoy and watch other people playing them? @@mattpace1026
Watching through this series again in anticipation of season 4!
This episode is a great example of how things going “so wrong” in the beginning can make for an epic story!
That was a LOT more entertaining than watching a bunch of people sit around and discuss which minor action their character is going to take. Nicely done.
And constantly go off topic and ramble.
Mostly in jokes.
"Jokes"
Man, doubling back to this first episode - it really shows the beauty of solo play that this whole thing could've gone a COMPLETELY different direction had Simon simply tried the social approach to free Vilborg! A totally different season, right there.
You know I just finished binge watching the entire series for the first time, and when I first saw this comment I was like. “Haha funny comment”
But now… I’ve realized that you were right all along.
I’m 10 mins deep into this and already I’m hooked. Such good editing and the guy is great. Better than most group play through vids
The guy says thanks :)
Hello, Trevor! I am Tarcisio , from Brazil. I have a channel here about solo RPG (in portuguese language) , and I can say your channel is one of the most wonderfull things I have seen related to this way of playing rpgs! A wonderful video indeed! Here in Brazil we have a small but very engaged and dedicated solo rpg community, and we will be always watching your videos. Thank you very much!
Tarcisio, boa noite. I am a Colombian player who is considering solo rpg. I can probably understand the Portugese. Where can i find actual solo play in Portugese?
@@rolanejo8512 Hola! Puedes ver mi canal! Tengo más de 500 videos de RPG solo y literalmente cientos de gameplays Simplemente escribe "Tarcísio Lucas" (el nombre del canal) en CZcams.
Boa @Tarcisio Lucas! Qual é o canal mesmo?
OMG, your show is everything I've ever wanted to see as part of the Solo RPG community! Thank you, and subscribed!
I'm watching this in the break room at work and everyone looks at me as I chuckle at the dramatic cry for Vilborg.
One of the most entertaining shows I have ever watched. Funny and made me see how soloable RPGs can be!! I'm inspired
I just finished watching S3 last night and I'm back here for some nostalgia. Simon's infamous luck really showed from the very beginning huh.
Ooo I didn't even know that Mythic GM Emulator was a thing! very cool.
I’m so into this concept now. I don’t have a gaming group but I have tons of RPG books. I want to play and just picked up Mythic. Thanks for posting. I’m excited to get started playing solo.
This is great and probably the best example of the GM Emulator I've seen. Thank you for doing this and will certainly watch more. Great job!
Wonderful to go back to the beginning again
When I put this on I didn't expect to find a favorite new series. This was awesome! I can't wait to catch the further adventures, WHAT AN OPENING--it's crazy how so many things going wrong can suddenly raise the stakes, emotionally
Fantastic production values, great narration and presentation, surprisingly engaging (for a one-person show) and (perhaps predictably) excellent voice work. Get yer arses in gear and watch this - looking forward to episode two!!
Coming back to relive the legend from the beginning
Absolutely awesome! I have watched other solo rpg videos and the people doing them have always filmed the entire thing with the camera pointed at the table. Doing it with the camera pointed at the player is so much more engaging with being able to see the player's reactions and facial expressions to what is going on. Really enjoyable!
I can see this would be excellent for writing stories!
I'm impressed! I could've never have imagined how a solo game could be this fun. Great show!
Watched through the second season, but wanted to come back and watch again where it all began with Simon. Love the stuff Trevor!
And this is what we call adhd at its most entertaining. I like the randomness.
Where it all begun. Just watched the S3 finale
just recently i bought mythic, and have used this particular mm&d/episode 1 to follow along.
this has helped me immensely in creating my own solo rpg. i’ll be using it with
“the fantasy trip” that i’ve played for many years.
thanks :-)
TFT is aces
Season one great opening Trevor
I told you I would be here haha 😂
Holy crap, I'm so hurt for Simon, right now. Poor Wilborg!
I just found this series. This is really done well. I've been getting into solo play using Mork Borg and it's interesting to see what Mythic GM can do differently. And Trevor is a joy to watch!!
Solo!?! ...... I'm in!
Also, I love the energy of this. Going to have to up my game. Keep these vids coming!
That was a successful play with all the actions and explanation done. Very well done and I appreciate the voice acting very much. Thank you very much for this videos keep on doing it.
I like what you said about logic and interpretation obviating the need for the emulator. I think the minis actually helped in this case as well as they allow you to better visualize the flow of the action. I've never used minis in my solo play, but I think I may start. Thanks for teaching me something!
Poor Simon! Poor Willborg! What will happen next? I can hardly wait! That was great to watch. I am solo playing with Mythic now for the past week.
Thus the adventure begins
I'm sitting around waiting for season 3 and decided to go back to where it all started. And I'm happy I did 😊
Vilborg!!!! Fantastic Trevor- Really cool to see the possibilities of one person gaming, enough production to support the game, but not overwhelm it and, as always, fantastic character work. Looking forward to the next one!
I just finished episode 17 and decided to come back to this episode for fun. It's really fun to refresh my memory on how it all began. None of us, including Trevor, had any idea where this would all end up. Thanks for doing this Trevor! I have decided to dive into my own solo play and more play with my sons thanks in part to these videos.
Started rewatching these to get a handle on Savage Worlds as I am using it now for my solo campaigns. It is jarring how quickly it became apparent that "Simon Sucks". 😞
You think I won't restart this series for a third time Trevor?
Well, there was 30 min I should have been working... but instead I was enjoying this. No regrets. Well worth the watch and impressive for a first episode. I look forward to seeing your story develop... as long as it doesn't cut into the RL table time.
This is one of the best rpg podcasts
is this the legendary "simon sucks" i kept hearing about?
This was so good, I loved it!
This was a really epic beginning!
Someone --- certainly not myself -- recommended "Me, Myself, and Die." I am so appreciative of that other person. However, I am most grateful to you, Trevor! This is really marvelous! I am so enjoying every episode! You got game, man! 👍
I could listen to Trevor Devall all day.
...I miss Voiceprint.
It is funny that I startet playing solo rpgs because of you and by rewatching this for the upcoming season, I realized the best friend of my first solo character also died in the first session.
Basically same age and length of RPG gaming here, Trevor. Just seeing you start the concept made me happy, after the last two years sort circuited my groups' play habits. I have a lot of catching up to do!
That’s some fantastic solo playing! Keep it up, I’ll be following for sure. Cheers from Brazil!
As my 2 year old used to say....... MORE!! :p
Bro, amazing! Cheers from Brazil
Amazing what can happen alone, with imagination and motivation. Bravo!
What an absolutely emotionally devastating start, but I'm already completely hooked. Great show!
Just finished season 2 and rewatching season 1 already
Wow, this was super intense and inspiring. Gave me the feels, too. Well done!
This is awesome Trev! youtube is the future! -Murf
It's not voiceprint but I'm intrigued, and sold.
Welcome to the show!
Just finished this season and I'm immediately coming back around again for a rewatch because I enjoyed it so much. I tried solo rpging a few years ago and I was disappointed because I felt like I couldn't accomplish a good roleplay aspect all on my own. Came across this channel a few weeks ago and I'm inspired! I have so many new ideas for how to make solo gaming more entertaining for me. (And a bunch of new supplements to make it easier lol) Many thanks to you, Trevor for the creative boost and a story that had me literally screaming out loud with excitement at times. Super excited to start on this journey all over again!
❤❤❤ this is so educating. Creatively entertaining and uplifting. Loads of ideas are coming from your channel :) Please keep producing quality material. I'd love to see more from your podcast.
This is great to watch to study for writing my book. If anyone asks, I wasn’t here.
Your energy and passion shines true in this. I'm late to the party but I'm loving it!
Brought here thanks to your interview with ACG. This was so enjoyable, thanks so much! Cannot wait to catch up!
That was really good! Can't wait for more!
These are great! Just discovered them now, very underrated.
This man deserves way more popularity.
This is absolutely brilliant.
Just watched the first episodes and I really enjoyed it. Thanks for recording it. I can’t wait to see what happens next.
I love everything about this!!!!
It is a really great start. I'll be happily watching the episodes as they come!
Having a rewatch and having a lot of fun!
Fantastic stuff! Thanks for the great show!
Your excitement is contagious! :)
Truly inspiring! Go on Trevor! \m/
Fantastic work!
I enjoyed every single minute of it.
I just found this series. I'm really enjoying this. Thank you for doing this.
This was awesome! Well done sir.
Very fun to watch, hope this grows fast!
This video was great! I love your multi-camera set-up, the way you interact with the audience, the in-video text coming up to give supplemental rule info, and being able to see the combat minis. Everything about your video is just absolutely wonderful from top to bottom! Please keep it up!
That was absolutely fantastic, Trevor. You had me on the edge of my seat the entire episode!
Brilliant, just brilliant.
I'm a fan of solo role-playing and this is an excellent idea for a series. I really hope you have great success with this. Good luck!
Starting once again! This is so good!
Great show. You packed a lot in.
Can't believe I haven't discovered your stream before! Love it
Great energy and enthusiasm! Excellent production value too. Well done!
So happy to have discovered this! Instantly subscribed! Gonna binge the rest... Keep it up, mate!
That escalated rather quickly, poor Vilborg.
Just wanted to add my chime of "great job!" This is a wonderful setup for a show and I eagerly look forward to your next episode!
So fun to watch -- great show! Really looking forward to the rest. thank you!!
Brilliant. Love the stream of consciousness
thank you for this. I shared ti with some RPG friends. It's helping me through the Quarantine! I hope you're making more of these. thank you, thank you, thank you!
This is EPIC! I've been getting into solo rpg recently so you're videos are a great way to learn more about it :)
That was super entertaining! Thanks!
Man, that was awesome! Just loved to see it, and it engaged me in a way I have never felt watching these sort of entertainment! Eager to watch the rest!
“Wait, this man legit plays Palps in Lego Star Wars?”
*Good, goooodddddd, Anakin…*
I have to try this now. Absolutely amazing.
You my friend got a recipe for success, I'll definitely keep watching this channel.
Was just introduced to this channel, and I've had a wonderful time watching the beginning of Simon's story. Thank you!
I'm 5 minutes in and this is already very fun. I checked to see if you were still making videos and I was happy to see you posted a week ago. There is definitely an appetite for this type of content so please keep going!
