Single Player Mode for @rtalsoriangames.bsky.social’s Cyberpunk RED is missing some modern touches that make for a satisfying solo #ttrpg - but you might want to get it anyway, even for non-solo games, because of what it DOES have. Check out Aaron’s review! cannibalhalflinggaming.com/2025/10/16/i...

It shouldn’t have been called Single Player Mode

Cyberpunk Red has been going strong for around five years now. The game came out around the same time as the tie-in video game Cyberpunk 2077, and represented a return to form after 2005’s Cyberpun…

Oh hey my day job is relevant. There's a lot of talk about them, for sure. But I've seen projects that felt much less precarious fall through. So I'm sitting in meetings and reading emails about work coming up, but. Q4 '25 is already rough in construction, and I think hopes are getting badly pinned.

"There is value in seeing how people play games, and from what they derive satisfaction and value. That said, the realities of how actual playstyles break out can get a bit complicated. " - Aaron Marks #ttrpg cannibalhalflinggaming.com/2025/10/09/c...

I don't believe in cursed dice.

But I do believe that D1-C3, the discord dice bot for the narrative dice Star Wars games, is a fickle being who holds grudges and loves chaos.

I love it.

"A thing that I'm really thinking about is the holistic quality of the game. This is a game that, even if you don't ever actually get a group together to play it, it enriches your life and it provides you with meaning and you can sit down with it and engage with it."

Torches in Shadowdark running out in real time? Using too many Bullets triggering a personal session in Cowboy Bebop? Leftovers being used to change the B&B and characters in Yazeba's Bed & Breakfast? Daily powers in 4e D&D? These all allow the game to do what it values with regards to story beats.

I don't think it's universal, like there's a list of such that supports the story always in every game you put it, I think it's whether a mechanic/system helps the game that it's in enable the experience that the game wants to tell.

Think of all the ways people in a community react in the presence of that sudden stress. The key is to make sure enough human drama exists so that the weirdness does not become the point. The simple test is to look and see if discovering and destroying the creature resolves all the crises and return things to the status quo. If that's the case, add in more trouble and turmoil among the supporting characters.
