Welcome to Tales of the Dice 👋🏾

There's a unique thrill in forging your own path, facing down dangers, and crafting a story all on your own.

Welcome to my solo Role Playing Game (Solo RPG) adventures. This site serves as a platform to chronicle my solo gaming experiences, transforming my gameplay sessions into engaging stories, weaving together the events of my adventures. The term for this type of writing is Actual Play Fiction (APFic).^[1]

A few years ago, I delved into the world of tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs) and quickly fell in love with Shawn Tomkin's Ironsworn. Ironsworn is a tabletop role-playing game set in a dark, Nordic-inspired world. The game's freedom to 'play-to-see-what happens' was a revelation. I loved how the game's oracles and dice rolls could send my character down unexpected paths, creating truly unique stories. The outcomes are dictated by the dice, so each story is a direct result of those rolls.

Tales of the Dice reflects that element of chance and discovery. Dive into my stories and see where the dice take me!

I will be playing Ironsworn and its variants and writing about them:

• Ironsworn - the base game
• Ironsworn: Starforged - a standalone, sci-fi evolution of the Ironsworn RPG
• Sundered Isles - a seafaring expansion for Ironsworn: Starforged
