Welcome to Rolling Alone, the fortnightly audio magazine dedicated to the craft, the gear, and the deep depths of solo tabletop roleplaying.
Every episode is a curated magazine-style bag of goodness, designed to fit your commute or your quiet evening at the desk.
Interviews with creators, YouTubers and practitioners; fun segments looking at tools and terms; bite-sized reviews. All this and more on Rolling Alone.
Rolling Alone isn't just a podcast; it’s a toolkit for the solitary adventurer. We believe that playing alone isn't a backup plan—it’s a premium way to engage with the hobby on your own terms.
Fortnightly | 45 Minutes | 100% Solo.
The Oracle is waiting. Subscribe on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or via our Substack to join the conversation.
Grab your dice. Grab your journal. Let’s get rolling.
Rolling Alone: Steam Spies, More Brain Science and Indie Game Design
Welcome to the Rolling Alone Podcast
The "home base" for this show is the Rolling Alone Substack (https://rollingalone.substack.com/)
Drop by, comment, like, and share. I write 3-4 posts per week, including reviews, tips, ideas and play reports about my Solo RPG journey.
Join me as I "think aloud" about designing my upcoming Solo RPG. (https://rollingalone.substack.com/p/thinking-aloud-about-game-design-396) I have created a 2-page version for the 2026 Game Jam. It's a vertical slice of the eventual full game, and you can download and play it as PWYW on Itch.
My 2-page game is called The Apartment Below (https://rolling-alone.itch.io/the-apartment-below). Feedback welcome! I will be updating the game and discussing it on my Substack
I have started a Ko-Fi page for those who might want to support the podcast. Head over to the Rolling Alone Ko-Fi (https://ko-fi.com/rollingalone)to make a donation. Everything received will go towards improving and developing this podcast.
