Hello everybody and welcome to the very 135th episode of The Shut Up and Sit Down Podcast.

A podcast all about board games, except when it's not.

For example, this very episode.

My name is Quentin Smith and I am joined by Tom Brewster.

Hello, hello Tom.

And today we got something pretty special that I'm super excited about.

Not least because I have to do very little work in this podcast episode.

We're going to be talking about solo RPGs.

One player role playing games.

Although that's actually kind of not what these games are.

Basically, these games are innovative storytelling experiences for just one person

sat on their loansome.

It's Tom.

You've been sat by yourself a lot for the last few weeks, haven't you?

I find this mind blowing quite honestly a year ago before we published your 1000 year

But of course in the pandemic, who would have guessed it, they're now a thriving genre

and people are doing absolutely fascinating things with them.
