NEW FOR SOLO SEPT: Detritus by @gomezwrites.bsky.social 💥 A solo post-apocalyptic RPG, part gamebook/part journaling game. Ten years after The End, it's time to go on a journey. Tell a curious explorer's story while you reflect on your own experiences and learn a little about yourself along the way

The cover of Detritus, A solo narrative journaling adventure. The title appears in yellow, as if spray painted on the black asphalt background. A white dotted line runs down the center of the cover and off into the 'distance'

An interior example from Detritus. The lefthand page is titled Hit The Road, Jack and includes a story segment, an illustration, and a place specifically for rolling dice and recording what you find. The righthand page includes spaces for describing your discovery, reacting to questions for your character/yourself as the player, and illustrating your discovery

NEW FOR SOLO SEPT: Escape the Iron Dungeon by @gomezwrites.bsky.social 💪🏽 A solo fantasy-themed hexcrawl workout plan. WORKOUT PLAN? Use the arcane knowledge (movement suggestions) in this dungeon escape to get stronger IRL. Take on mighty challenges like planks, diamond pushups, chest flys, +more!

The cover (front) of Escape the Iron Dungeon - Get the Keys, Get Stronger, Get Out. It's a pamphlet. The font is spiky like a metal band. The image shows five dark fantasy-style keys. The bottom of the panel says: gather 2 six-sided dice, a pencil, weights of your choosing, and the grit you'll need to escape

An example of some of the interior panels of Escape the Iron Dungeon. Visible: some of the workout move hex map, setup directions, and a log for tracking the weight and reps for each of the exercises
