I wanted to share a new YouTube channel in which I play Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition solo taking on the role of the dungeon master and the player while building an epic fantasy setting in real-time.
The channel attempts to combine the dark and epic with the absurd and comedic. It is very much inspired by my earliest experiences with AD&D and PCRPGs like Baldur's Gate. We take our D&D seriously, but we like to have as much fun as we can while doing so.
There is an evolving/episodic story with some intrigue, narration, and voice acting. All of the actual gameplay is done on the tabletop.
It's not for everybody but it's definitely for somebody!
Stop by, watch some videos, leave a comment and tell em' "Malfak" sent you!
I watched the Episode 3 trailer and a bit of the other videos. I'll sit down and watch more when I get the chance. As a solo adventure writer, I'm a big fan of solo D&D. I'd love for WotC to incorporate some solo rules officially into One D&D. The older editions had actual solo adventures that were great for learning the system.
Absolutely. Thanks for checking out the channel! Episodes 4 and 5 were a lot of fun.
Between the Dungeon Master's Guide, Mythic GM Emulator, and SaT (Solo Adventurer's Toolbox,) I have pretty much everything I need to run solo.
Let the dice tell the story. I think the key ingredient to running solo, regardless of what tools you are using, is that the DM (you) needs to be "surprised."
That truly is what makes running solo fun/interesting for me personally. When my "PC" has a question, the "DM" turns to the tables and Q&A mechanics. That way when "we" get the answer, we're both surprised!
In future episodes, I am going to separate the "Player" experience from the "DM" experience a bit more. I plan on doing supplemental "Behind the DM Screen" for each episode that explains how I am creating scenes/adventures, making checks, and creating NPCs, pretty much everything essentially on the fly with a few quick rolls.
If you haven't checked out the channel yet, please stop by for a quick episode to see what Malfak, the Half-Elven Sorcerer is up to. If it's been a while, the channel has improved quite a bit. Stop by for some classic, casual, and comedic D&D action.
Epic Solo: Episode 7 "For the Island is Perilous, and Wrought with Dangers..." is online!

What started as an experiment to share my love of D&D and SoloRPGs has turned into something that has exceeded my wildest expectations.
