RPG overviews, LARP battles and Unboxings!
These videos are my little experiments working with a different media format. I might go a bit crazy here and the videos may come out slightly wonky. It turns out that video editing and finding the right lighting can be rather mind boggling! Nevertheless, I hope you find this stuff interesting and/or fun. Humour me =) follow me on YouTube.

Solo Actual Play | You are Not Alone in this Life by Ben Auden Roswell | Role Over Play Dead
This solo game by Ben Auden Roswell is a hack of Takuma Okada's Alone Among the Stars. It's a clever generator for creating a journal full of moments of dread and horror as something unknown inexorably takes over your life. You can play this game one day at a time, writing in a journal or as tweets, or you can just do all of it in one go like I did here.
Each moment of horror is generated by drawing a playing card, which determines what kind of event occurs, while a die roll tells you what kind of change this horror heralds (Horror, Transformation, Enclosure) and when you record your fifth tally in this category, the game ends. I dramatised my ending a bit, but otherwise played by the rules!
Thanks to the author for a chilling time playing this game. And thanks to my partner Elisha for pointing it out to me.

Solo Actual Play | Alone Among the Stars RPG by Takuma Okada | Role Over Play Dead
Join me, Kai Poh as I play Alone Among the Stars by Takuma Okada! Along Among the Stars helps you generate a random series of discoveries on faraway planets, using a deck of cards and a six-sided die. It's an influential solo game that has resulted in many hacks (Alone at the Table games). It's a good exercise of the imagination, and I found that it put me in a peaceful and relaxed place.
This is part of a new Actual Play series that we're working on. Previous Actual Plays have been audio only; I've started doing these new ones with a webcam and a microphone. We're still working out the technical issues and hopefully future recordings will sound clearer and better.
Find out more about this solo RPG at https://noroadhome.itch.io/alone-among-the-stars.
The Alone at the Table collection can be found at https://itch.io/c/486917/alone-at-the-table.

Star Crossed RPG - Actual Play - *CW:Cheeky* | Role Over Play Dead
Elisha and Kai play Star Crossed, a 2-player game by Alex Roberts and published by Bully Pulpit Games! It's played by acting out scenes between two people who really want to be together, but really shouldn't. Players pull blocks from a wooden block tower to represent moments of increasing attraction, and if the tower collapses, the main characters succumb to mutual desire! We had a lot of fun with this one.
We bought our pdf of the game at http://bullypulpitgames.itch.io
