Episode 2 of the Echoes in the Dark podcast. Apologies for the back to front ordering. I'm considering changing the hosting, and it's screwed things up for these first 3 episodes.
From episode 4, all will be normal!
Echoes in the Dark is a Shadowdark solo actual play podcast for mature audiences.

Episode 3 of my Shadowdark solo RPG podcast.
Thank you to Kelsey Dionne and the Arcane Library.
*NOTE* I lost the original file for this episode and I'm aware there are few 'unedited' portions of this version. Apologies, but I'll try to tidy things up from now on. Hopefully it doesn't spoil your enjoyment too much.
If you like what I'm doing, please like, share, subscribe, give it 5 stars where you can! It will really help to promote the podcast and help me to do bigger and better things.

Welocme to the first episode, the pilot if you like, of The Echoes in the Black podcast.This solo roleplaying podcast where darkness presses in, torches gutter low, and the dice decide what survives the night.This is not a scripted drama.This is not a novel with dice as window dressing.This is a real solo RPG campaign, played openly and honestly, where mechanics, random tables, and oracle questions actively shape the story.I’ll be using Shadowdark RPG with one or two light house rules, and I’ll be running it solo using the SoloDark rules, with a few elements borrowed from the Mythic Game Master Emulator for open-ended questions, twists, and unexpected turns.Sometimes the dice will give me exactly what I hoped for.Sometimes they will ruin my plans completely.The dice will whisper fateThanks to those who have trodden this path before me, including Me Myself and Die, Tale of the Manticore, Legend of the Bones and Legends of the Fireside.But most of all, thank you to Kelsey Dionne, and the Arcane Library, for allowing an old man to feel 13 again and letting me tell some odd stories inside the best RPG ever.
