Solo Surveyor launched in Alpha at version 1.11 as a free mapping tool for solo roleplayers, and it's now at version 1.36 after incorporating community feedback. I shared it to Reddit in r/Solo_Roleplaying, which garnered early interest, prompting shares and feedback there as well as via Bluesky and Mastodon. Key Improvements since then Although I […]

After having played (and recently finished our campaign of) Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition, and a few other smaller TTRPGs, I know my memory in a moment […]
If you follow me elsewhere, you know I value ethical and universal design. You should want to keep playing a game because it's fun or rewarding, but not because it's addictive or trying to get something from you (like your money, data, etc).
