For solo RPG club today I played Dark Mall, a liminal dead mall crawl in this issue of TUMULUS. I survived gathering video evidence of the Whistler, the Mall Walker, and the Balloon Cloud before barely escaping! And I love the included exercises that get you thinking about ways to improve the game.
