Episode 27: The Solo Conversation with A Torch in the Dark
Show Notes

Today, Mark is joined by Michael, author of a number of forged in the dark games, to talk about A Torch in the Dark, his single-player dungeon-delving/revolution game. We talk about how "the conversation" which usually happens between players and GM still happens in a solo game. He also talks about his influences and what drew him to make a solo game.

You can find Michael on twitter @notwritinggames.
You can find A Torch in the Dark, as well as Michael's other games and his hugely helpful "An Amateur's Guide to Hacking Blades in the Dark", on his itch page, notwriting.itch.io.
