#1pRPG

2025-11-06
Pixelfed pilgrimage is a 1p1pRPG (one player, one page role-play game) designed to be played on Pixelfed. The idea was born out of frustration that not much was happening on Pixelfed and therefore find a playful way to make people engage with it and fill it with creative content. Because Pixelfed is best used on the phone, my game is more phone screen sized than one A4 page but I think it still falls into the category of one page games.
I hope you test it out and give me feedback :) enjoy!

For fun I do experimental literary projects. One of them is that I've started writing short stories and novels based entirely on playing a campaign of a one-player roleplaying game . I'm currently doing research for playing a campaign of this winter, but for now you can read my first story of a proposed ten linked ones in the fantasy game , online as a GDoc. I gab about this subject a lot at Mastodon!

If I ever get rich enough to build a home for myself from scratch, I will absolutely put murder holes in the foyer's ceiling

I've already written my first #1pRPG storytelling experiment, the first chapter of a coming novel all based on campaigns I did in the one-player roleplaying game #Ironsworn. Wanna read it on my Google Drive? Here you go! Feedback strongly desired!

I haven't talked about it for a bit, but my "Wikicloud" Medieval Germany vampire novel research project being recorded as a visual #mindmap in #Obsdian is going well. I'm about to play the #1pRPG #ThousandYearOldVampire, but the first third is set among the clergy of 1200s Black Forest Germany, so I'm starting by reading several hundred Wikipedia pages on related subjects as research for knowing what to eventually write about. If you're seeing the URL here, that's a page still to be read.

I've just published my new TTRPG, made for the one-page RPG JAM 2024.

The First Men in the Moon: The Mini-RPG is a steampunk, rules-lite TTRPG, set after the events of the book. The goal of the players is to build their own Cavorite-powered space capsule and embark on an expedition to the moon.

Available for free (or donation) now! 🌖

Update on my "Wikicloud" Medieval Germany vampire novel research #mindmap! I'm finally done reading and notating the "Middle Ages" Wikipedia page, and it produced a treasure trove of pages to read and notate next. Click through for more nerdy details on how this reflects my particular novel (about a priest who's turned into a vampire and suffers a spiritual crisis for a millennium), and keeping myself open for the random turns of a #1pRPG one-player roleplaying game (#ThousandYearOldVampire).

The latest version (8-23-24) of my "Wikicloud" visual experiment in research recording, in which I not only log the Wikipedia pages I read in preparation for writing a vampire novel later this year partly set in Medieval Germany, but how those pages relate as far as which of them linked to the other and led me there. Today I finally finished reading the biggest and most comprehensive article at Wikipedia about it -- "Middle Ages" -- and you can see that I ended up pulling off around a hundred links to other more specific Wikipedia articles I want to continue reading and notating this way, each represented in a titled box in a grid-like visual layout. Red boxes are considered "major" topics; green represents artists, cultural topics, intellectualism, etc.; yellow is science, tech, leaders, wars, etc.; orange is specifically Catholicism, because the vampire in my novel starts as a priest; light blue are important tertiary subjects that inform my novel but that perhaps don't actually need to be read in full; and purple (the ones with images) are "destination pages," particularly interesting or unique topics.

Big news! I'm building a "Wikicloud" #mindmap again of a very large subject I need to study right now! Namely, Germany in the second half of the Medieval period (1000-1500 AD), in preparation for finally playing the one-player roleplaying #1pRPG #ThousandYearOldVampire. Using the popular Obsidian, I made a card for the Wikipedia page covering the Middle Ages (center of map), then popped in a new card every time I came across a link on that page that looked interesting, for reading later. (cont)

Screenshots from how much I've built out now of my latest "Wikicloud" mindmap visual representation of what a deep rabbit hole examination of a subject at Wikipedia actually looks like if tracked and mapped, in this case Germany in the late Medieval period (1000-1500 AD), research I'm doing in preparation for playing the one-player roleplaying game Thousand Year Old Vampire soon. I started at the "Middle Ages" Wikipedia page, then every time I came across a link on that page that looked interesting enough that I thought I should eventually check it out, I created a new card for that future page in my mindmap. Then I create yet more thematically linked cards around that one once I get to it, and more and more build a complex visual map of what it looks like to hop from one related link to another at Wikipedia, which I think we've all done from time to time. Building it in the popular app Obsidian, in the hopes of being able to share it with others who might want to go on a similar reading/studying adventure at Wikipedia.Screenshots from how much I've built out now of my latest "Wikicloud" mindmap visual representation of what a deep rabbit hole examination of a subject at Wikipedia actually looks like if tracked and mapped, in this case Germany in the late Medieval period (1000-1500 AD), research I'm doing in preparation for playing the one-player roleplaying game Thousand Year Old Vampire soon.

New RPG day! Just unboxed Miru, a god-hunting solo game, and Tiny Library, a deck of micro-RPGs.

Miru will be my first foray into solo journaling RPGs. I also have The Magus, which I got via some bundle, but I feel like trying out Miru first.
