I come for the gaming, but I stay for the philosophy.

You're hilarious, some off the wall comments leading into some very insightful observations.

I do believe "hell is other people", given my past

“I forgot that crumb”, I feel attacked lol

Dude, your channel is slowly turning into one of my favorite channels on Youtube. I'm still thinking about that video you made about the psychology of the shadow from Carl Jung, even tho I didn't make any comment on that video. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

As someone who mostly has 5e stuff and a weekly game with other people, I want to solo to both use the stuff I collect and better learn the rules.... but I also want to try to run a game where the PCs aren't psychopaths that just kill everyone. That's the real reason I say I want to solo. I want to find out if it's possible to survive in D&D as a proper group of people. That and I want the monsters to act in their own self-interest as well rather than just running at swords until they die. Hell really is other people.

Technically, I'm a 5. It's the creativity that gets me. Constantly making new discoveries that were *right here all the time*, et. al.. But in my quiet heart of hearts, there's a whole lot of bonus here, too. I'm like Scrooge McDuck up in here, doing the backstroke in a swimming pool full of itch downloads, enjoying the The Thing Itself. And thanks for making that okay. :D

Where's the mork bork guy?!

Three’s a crowd. It’s officially a party 🥳

Playing solo to own instead of rent hit real hard with me. I have only been a DM for other people for the entirety of my 15+ years of playing pen and paper rpgs. When I discovered solo play a few years ago I realized that what I really wanted was to finally be the player in a game. Being able to use my years of DM experience to enhance my solo play has been the most rewarding feeling I have ever had gaming. Even more so than a really really good group session. I dont know, there is just something about coming up with ALL of it alone that makes the cool bits that much cooler. Thanks for making me think of all this.

Fabergé egg analogy is amazing. Thanks for that.

This punk approves. On point and insightful as always. Give yourself 10 achievement points!

Thanks for another great video Mr. Alone, I loved all the acceptance of reasons for doing things. Especially enjoyed the section on these characters in one’s head

I categorize my youtube subscriptions. I just moved this channel from RPG to Personal Growth.

So, I took the bus over to The Dungeon Dive. I stood there on sidewalk and could see Daniel inside. Laughing, loving, crying. I remembered the wise words you imparted on me, “don’t you dare go there! If you do you are not welcome back!” I took your wise comments to heart. Tossed my Spider-Man costume in the trash can on the corner, and walked back. In the rain. Ashamed of myself. Thank you for this new video. It was great background entertainment while I was working on some DCC RPG art I got commissioned to do. 😁

clicked on the video for motivating myself to do some solo rpgs... subscribed for the dog named "Werner Herzog".

Making peace with myself about no. '8' a couple of years ago has brought me into contact with a whole world of wonderful and interesting people as I follow my very dynamic interests.

Lately I have been solo roleplaying because I have loads of modules that I have never gotten to run and I want to play them, dammit. I played a mashup of Scarlet Heroes/Black Hack and ran through Sailors on the Starless Sea (DCC zero level funnel) last night. I really want to make a video on how I run through modules solo but I do not have the set up to record. One day. Anyway, love your channel once again. You cover a side of the solo rpg world that seemingly no one else covers. Thanks Mandrake.
