This is a sequel episode to the series playing the Ironsworn roleplaying game, if you’re new to it I recommend going back to the first episode in which I create the character I am playing, Terilius the Iron Monk.

In this series while playing Ironsworn, I’m going to bookend each episode with a topic more or less related to the game session. In this episode given it is still the beginning I briefly go over what tabletop roleplaying games are, what a solo game is, the rules system for Ironsworn, play through the first session, and finish off with sharing some thoughts about feeling embarrassed.

Rough timeline:

  • Beginning to 18:00 min: Intro and system
  • 18:00 to 55:00 min: Playing Ironsworn
  • 55:00 to end: Fear and embarrassment
