The "progressive solo play" of Ironsworn RPG for #SGAM2018 was a resounding success! I think at times it was far more difficult to pull off as the month progressed, because the later players really had a lot to read through to keep up on the various story threads. It really showcased how well built the system is, how open it is to playing fast and free mechanics-wise, but still allowing for imaginations to really take over when inspiration hits (yet provides a wonderful level of oracular assistance when the ideas just aren't flowing for players). In the coming weeks I'll be making the Google Group we used to track everything publicly available for everyone to peruse. I definitely learned some management tricks putting this project together; hopefully I documented it well enough that this can be used as a template for more such game sessions to be run by anyone with the gumption to do so! Thanks again to all who participated this year!

Last call for #SGAM2018 Ironlanders! Are you in? We start scheduling this coming week as SGAM starts Thursday. The nice thing about this is that it really won't take much of your time; it's only a partial game you'll be playing/posting! If you're in, read the attached previous post to send a request to the Google Group. Originally shared by Dan Davis Join in the fun of a progressive solo play of Ironsworn during the month of November for #SGAM2018!

I've finally got most of the details nailed down for the crowd-sourced "progressive" solo play of Ironsworn for #SGAM2018! FINALLY, right? Sorry. Anyway, I've got a Google Group set up for this, and a few documents/sheets in Drive shared out to the group. This should cover most of what we'll need to track for the month. I'd like to see how many people are interested in doing this, so I can kind of feel out how many days we need to set aside per "chapter" of play in the game/story. The original thoughts I saw here were to put a 4-day limit on the play turns, but looking at how many days there are in November, that may not allow for everyone to have a crack at it. How many people would be up for this? We're talking "I'm in"s, not "That'd be kind of neat"s, here. :) I'll be opening up the group shortly, though I've still gotta figure that part out now... invites? Maybe I'll ask anyone who wants in to the grou...

#SGAM2018 Expounding on a previous thread, I'd like to propose a project to be run for Solo Gaming Appreciation Month 2018 (yes, it's a thing!): a crowd-sourced "progressive" solo play of Ironsworn RPG! For the sake of simplicity and to attract both old hands and new in the Ironsworn community, we will be playing a continuous game set in the Ironlands per the core rulebook. No hocus-pocus, no sci-fi mods, no additional assets outside of Volumes 1 and 2; strictly by-the-book. All useable parts of the game are currently available on either DriveThruRPG or on the ironswornrpg.com website. You don't have to be a story-based player; if you can post up solid understandable actual play notes, those of us who like to write will likely jump in and flesh out your play turn! Each person will be assigned a turn in the overall order of players, and will have a maximum of 4 days to post a "chapter" in the story. There will be one overarching Vow to hold the story to...
