I do love a good solo RPG or solo adventure book. Sooo I went through my extensive list of solo RPGs etc.. and created a Starter Pack! It is currently a short list but there are still a lot of creators who are not on Bluesky yet. If I missed anyone, please let me know! :)

Yeah, I've had to scale back on crowdfunding. It is getting so expensive! 😪
I haven't looked at it yet so I may change my mind lol

I was so sad. 😪

It is not very interesting. The amount of actions are quite limited and repetitive. IMO, it's not fun for those who are familiar with the Sims or those who aren't. 😔
I would play Monopoly over this game. Expectations are different lol

As a longtime Sims fan, I had high hopes for the board game but it missed the mark. If you're craving meaningful choices, this isn't it. It may suit those who enjoy flavour text and super light gameplay.

I am watching Love is Blind and this season is UNHINGED.

This scene made me chuckle. Is the PS5 in the room with us?? 😆

Why are you lying?!? Omg...🙄

Thanks! I did a lot of research and this one was a "newer" model and it was on sale! I don't buy a lot of Brother products, but their printers are rated highly online. :)

I like it. Very catchy 😆

Haha ok phew! I've been thinking about getting a 3d printer but my friend has 6 so I can just ask him to print things for me. Hehe
Paid, of course. 😁

Omg, why did I wait so long to get a laser printer?? 🤯

I can print all of my PDF solo RPGs quickly and bind them with my booklet maker thingy.

Very technical language here LOL
