This is a sequel episode to the series playing the Ironsworn solo roleplaying game, if you’re new to it I recommend going back to the first episode in which I create the character I am playing, Terilius the Iron Monk.

In this series while playing Ironsworn, I’m going to bookend each episode with a topic more or less related to the game session. In this third part of the series, I also talk about using more or less random inputs to facilitate creativity in brainstorm and ideation sessions, and it’s also a general update about the podcast given I hadn’t published in quite a long time.

I had taken time to add sound effects in the second episode, I was thinking of doing the same for this one but honestly I gave up, this has been a long time waiting and I have more in the series coming up. That said for those listening to the whole thing I’d love to hear whether the sound effects make a big difference or not (because it takes a really long time to add in).

Rough timeline:

  • Beginning to 22:00 min: Intro and talking about random creative input for inspiration
  • 22:00 to 1:00:00 min: Playing Ironsworn (part 3)
