About Solo wargaming (huge list of games)

[Dubbya]

Always good to see more discussion on solo games. Fir a minute I thought you missed five parsecs/leagues before seeing they were listed under fivecore.

where can you get Fear of the Dark? the link is to a facebook group and there's only a demo version available there...

EDIT - Perilous Tales is another one... in fact most of the links are to facebook groups. Rather than send folks down that route, could you actually link to the where the game is available?

While I completely understand not wanting to touch Facebook and similar, a search for "Fear of the Dark wargame" and "Perilous Tales wargame" come up with the usual places to buy them as the first responses, quicker surely than asking here?

It's imposible to make a post about Solo wargaming and not Talk about Iván Sorensen and Nordic Weasel. I played years ago 5 men in Normandy and 5 men at Kursk, and he has developed a lot of rulesets, even one that is called solo tool kit or something like that that works as a genéric solo system for any ruleset.

The last one has been Forgotten Ruins and It deals with a weird modern settings where modern soldiers fight orcs, trolls and even dragons.

Self-Promotion time.....

I have two solo-games, Under the Martian Yoke, Homer;s Heroes: Bronze Age Bad Boys[/b], Odin's Ravens: Viking Age Bad Boys[/b] and Combat! Starring Vic Murrow which are all available on the Wargame Vault. 

I also made solo rules for Osprey's Men of Bronze/Wars of the Republic that can be found in the The Ionian Revolt supplement also on the wargame vault.  You need a copy of one of those core rulebooks to play solo though.

Wait a minute... You're the person behind the Blood and Spectacle blog?!?!?

Your blog is a reference in the world of wargame and RPG designers.

I don't even know how many times I've read the posts on your blog about creation and design, or just talking about wargames, solo or not.

What I didn't know was the number of games created, I'm looking at the list on the blog and it's really impressive.

It's more than 10 years of posts on that blog, and they're not just AARs, reviews or generic posts about wargames... there are posts about wargame creation and development that are incredible.

Thank you so much for such an enormous and exhaustive work!!

Thanks, you are making me blush.

Sometimes I have more to say on that topic than other days.  I am glad to read that the blog is appreciated.  That helps drive me.
