SotU - Session 1
The Pocket Solo Kit was ready for some Searchers of the Unknown, powered by the Solo RPG Kit.
Previously, I've posted my Pocket Solo Kit to get off my phone for a little bit and to play some analog solo gaming.
I've had fun making and finding pocketmods of Rules Summaries.
After making these tiny booklets, grabbing an A7 Notepad, Polyhederal Dice (a must for the Solo Gamer!) and a bic 4-in-1 pen (that included a mechanical pencil), I was ready for some gaming!
I decided on Searchers of the Unknown. The system is very straight forward, which meant quick gaming! Also, I used Silver Nightingale Solo RPG Toolkit as the Oracle.
The following are extracts from my notes, better than trying to decipher my terrible hand writing. I've been using the Lonelog method, which you may have seen me use previously.

~~END SESSION 1~~
There we have it. I decided, just because the PC was defeated, it didn't mean they DIED.
Also, being held captive makes for a fun follow up session!
How will they escape? Is the Wizard evil? What's in the other 4 Areas that needs to be discovered? What about the Cursed treasure?
Guess we'll have to find out!
Until next time!
I wish I could utilize pocket mods... my reading eyesight has a -2 modifier.
Very cool!
