Episode 7: Four Against Darkness

Welcome to Die Alone: a Solo RPG Podcast! Each week I’ll be playing a different solo roleplaying game and talking about my experiences the following episode. I’ll also occasionally dabble in solo tabletop games and adventure gamebooks. I’ll be looking at the games as a play experience, as a meditative and creative exercise and also looking at them from a designer and artist viewpoint. In Episode 07 of Die Alone, I talk about playing the solo dungeon delving RPG: Four Against Darkness Four Against Darkness is a solitaire dungeon-delving game that may also be played cooperatively. No miniatures are needed. All you need is this book, a pencil, two dice, and grid paper. Choose four characters from a list of classic types (warrior, wizard, rogue, halfling, dwarf, barbarian, cleric, elf), equip them, and venture into dungeons created by dice rolls and your own choices. You will fight monsters, manage resources, grab treasure, dodge traps, find clues, and even accept quests from the monsters themselves. Your characters will level up, becoming more powerful with each game... IF THEY SURVIVE. You can get Four Against Darkness on Amazon or Drivethrurpg. You can adjust and print your own grids HERE You can find the maps and helpful sheets I used from Boardgamegeek https://boardgamegeek.com/filepage/164130/4ad-comprehensive-playsheets-grids-characters-enco Kickstarter Links: Knock!
