Episode 09: Solo RPGs featuring Shawn Tomkin

In this episode of RPG Heroes, we delve into our main topic: "Solo RPGs" with the help of the very generous Shawn Tomkin, creator of "Ironsworn", an award-winning RPG that can be played solo, co-op and GM-led. We talk about solo RPGs, putting fiction first, world-building as session 0 and of course who Shawn's RPG heroes are.
