Hello and Welcome Back to the Solo RolePlayers Podcast, To wrap out our free and affordable game month I have for you today my interview with Loner creator Roberto Bisceglie.

For more info, and to go into the draw (roll), you can head over to the SoloRolePlayers Patreon and sign up for free over there. Hope you enjoy. -PJ   P.S.

Heya SoloRolePlayers,  Jim has some exciting news he has just announced that starts in a mere couple of days and in celebration and support of that I wanted to bring his full interview over from the Patreon feed to here so that as many people as possible could hear about it and get involved.  A lot (but certainly not all) of this interview was included in the Beetle Knight [SPOTLIGHT] episode from the other week but this is still well worth the listen even if you heard that. If you want to just straight ahead to the announcement I will put a chapter in the episode (there’s a first time for everything) and you can also check out what its all about on the Brooklet Games Website. Hope you enjoy, -PJ

Hello and Welcome Back to the Solo RolePlayers Podcast.  Today on the show we are trying something a little different as I present to you this fantastic bug sized role playing game. This game is our months highlight for the topic: free/affordable games.  If you want to hear the full extended 90 min [ACTUAL PLAY] and the full hour long [INTERVIEW] with Jim Hall, you can join up as a FREE member over on the SoloRolePlayers Patreon and listen over there. You can check out Beetle Knight over at Brooklet Games for one of the beautiful hand made copies (which I highly recommend) or head over to Itch.io for the PWYW digital/printable version. The format of this episode was a bit of a spontaneous experiment. Its not something I’m going to do all the time but I had a lot of fun putting it together but I’m too close to it to tell how well it holds together. If you wouldn’t mind, take a moment to send me a quick email to soloroleplayerspodcast@gmail.com to let me know what you think.
