Today we’re talking with Paul Czega again about his zine The Ink That Bleeds. We talk about how exactly you “write to find out” in order to play solo journaling games more immersively. #ttrpg #indiegames #journalinggames #journaling

Speaking of group #journalinggames: last night I went to the memorial service for a good friend. She had "beaten" breast cancer only to have it metastasize months later. She started planning her own farewell party, but the cancer was too fast.

Among the activities she had planned

Have any solo journaling games traumatized you (in a good way)?

I've added some community copies to Blood & Foam, my solo journaling game about the first time a mermaid travels to the surface. Sensual, raw, brutal.

What is your favourite mechanic or activity on map-building solo games? Do you prefer prompts to help you create places from scratch, or prompts that already have a place described and allow you to add details?

Solo RPGs and journaling games offer unique mental health benefits, allowing players to explore their thoughts and feelings in a reflective way.

These games provide a personal space for self-care and deeper introspection beyond traditional tabletop RPGs.

Solo RPGs and journaling games gave me advantage on mental health rolls in a way D&D couldn't

Haven't you heard? Paul has a new game! And created a new classification of journaling games, y'know, by accident. You'll have to play it to figure it out!!!

I only just mailed the first copies of The Sneeze to buyers yesterday and already the Paul Czege Quotebot on Mastodon is posting quotes from it 😲

#JournalGaming #ttrpg #TheSneeze
A screenshot of two posts today by the Paul Czege Quotebot, which read: "This woman didn’t make eye contact. None of them do. My salsa class was sixteen women, all older, and the husbands of three of them. I didn’t know any of their names. The instructor would have us change partners, and if I didn’t say “Hi” my new partner wouldn’t either, just “Okay,” no eye contact, and then into dance position. And it’s because they’re here for the touch, even the married ones, human touch, but knew their reason would be exposed to me by their eyes." And: "Lately I’ve been calling the world and characters and stories running in you from journaling games as your approximate self your inscape. It’s a term used by Gerard Manley Hopkins for the aspects of something that comprise its unique identity. I think the narratives running in us from playing immersive journaling games create us just the way Hopkins means."

Just started my first game of Apawthecaria! Really enjoying how easy it is to sit down and respond to the prompts.

Meet my poultice pounder, Rin, a fox with a bad habit of getting into trouble.

#Apawthecaria #SoloRPGs #JournalingGames
A picture of a journal page that reads “Apawthecaria Guild of Poultice pounders Journal” with a black guild symbol of a mortar and upright pestle in a circle in the center Journal page with a picture of a fox playing in a overlarge blueberry bush on the left. On the right is a character sheet for the game Apawthecaria. A journal entry for the game titled “Origin: Journal #1” with cursive writing and small sketches of objects and characters.

Not So Grave is out now. A solo journaling TTRPG where you're the caretaker of your own cemetery. Tending graves and slowly uncovering who's buried beneath each headstone. Bittersweet and quietly reflective.
