   Thanks for this notice, Stu! I’ll be sure to check out the Kickstarter when I have a chance. Tonight, I’m reading the rulebook for Tainted Grail: Kings Of Ruin that I’ll be playing at my birthday party tomorrow that I’m celebrating with a friend. Our birthdays are both later in the month, but his wedding anniversary conflicts with his, which is why they’re early (mine is actually Sunday of next week, and his is almost at the end of the month).

   Version 5 of ToA that you mention appears to be the public playtest, link offered from the Kickstarter page. Granted, you may have received a secret link in your email for your previous loyalty. Publishers can send stealth links for DTRPG goods, not viewable by the public, at least that has been my experience with past digital file crowdfunders, such as rough drafts and so on.

   About those oracles, if you like those a lot, you may want to check out some of Jason Evans Payne’s on DTRPG, publishing as Infinium Game Studios. He has a rich GM-less toolset available with plenty of free samples to check out, including monster AI and a whole lot more in his Flex line! Get on his notifications list, and you will find that he has some great file sales throughout the year! Oftentimes, if you get a digital file, if he ever creates a hardcopy version, he usually emails you a significant discount for your loyalty.

   Finally, when you referenced your ToA play, I remembered something that I wanted to ask you. Do you listen to solo play podcasts at all? Here are some really good ones that I listen to: The Iron Realm, where you can actually play along; Legend Of The Bones; Tale Of The Manticore. These creators host supplemental material on their associated sites, some of which you can use for your own games, such as tables, license-free music, and so on. The reason I was reminded of this now is that there is an antagonist looking for a horn in Tale Of The Manticore, which reminded me of your characters’ quest in your ToA game!

      Thanks John.
      I often have podcasts on in the background when I am working as they are great company, I will admit I don’t listen closely so often don’t take in what is being said. Tales of the Manticore is one I do sometimes play so I will have a wee listen to them again.

      I do have a few pdfs from Infinium on my harddrive, very useful they are too although some of the bigger pdfs I find overwhelming. That said they are full of useful stuff for the soloist.

      I think the playtest version (V5) of Tales of Argosa is free to anyone who has purchased Low Fantasy Gaming, both the deluxe version and the Original which is free, so if anyone wants to try out TofA, get the free copy of LFG and you get the playtest version of TofA along with it.
      These days its rare I treat myself to physical copies of RPG’s but I am making it a goal this year to get hardback copies of the games I play the most, TofA being one.
