One Guy One Roll

S01 E19 - Ironsworn: Starforged - Blue Danube

Welcome back to the solo RPG podcast One Guy One Roll! I had a really great time producing Episode 19 and I hope that y'all enjoy it as well. Luckily, I was able to find the time this week in order to produce a second episode, and I am hoping to be able to continue to do into the future. However, I am starting a new job in two months and it requires six week of training halfway across the country. My plan is to try and record enough episodes in advance so I can continue to release them while I am out of town. Your continued support means so much and inspires me to continue to create new episodes!
This paragraph is going to continue a summary of the episode. If you wish to avoid being spoiled, simply skip down to the next paragraph! The episode starts off with a rare moment of contemplation for Nikora, who rarely had the time for this kind of introspection. However without power or gravity, the Second Chance is tumbling uncontrollably towards the night-side of the fiery planet below. A low level of oxygen is the primary issue for Nikora and Petra, who is in a medically induced coma. Nikora needs to ration what little amount he has left and performs some important calculations in order to see if he has enough. The night-side of the planet should be insulated from the chaotic energies which crippled the spaceship leaving it tumbling through the void. After getting a chance to detail a little bit more of the ship's layout, Nikora comes up with a crazy plan that just might work. Down in the 'box,' Nikora's skiff 'Fatty' has a power cell that might just be the ticket they need to get out of this dire situation.
Thank you so very much for taking the time to listen to the episode! Your continued interest keeps me motivated to continue to produce and edit content, which takes about twice as long as the actual recording. If you enjoy listening to One Guy One Roll and wish to help me keep the podcast ad-free, I have provided a link to the Patreon page. I am incredibly appreciative to those of you who have decided to contribute already. Comments, suggestions, or praise is always appreciated! Take care and stay safe out there y'all.

S01 E20 - Ironsworn: Starforged - Silver Lining

Welcome to Episode 20 of Ironsworn: Starforged here on One Guy One Roll, the solo RPG podcast. I am still falling a little bit behind my intended schedule of producing two episodes a week, but I am doing my best to keep the content rolling! I had a great time making this week's episode and I hope that y'all enjoy it as well. Your continued support means so much and continues to inspire me!
As always, the second paragraph is going to be a summary of the episode which may contain minor spoilers. If you wish to avoid being spoiled, simply skip down to the next paragraph! During the intro scene of this episode, we get a brief introduction to a new character who is being approached by the Chondrite (Spacers) Guild in a dust bar located on a dying planet. When we last left Nikora aboard the Second Chance, he was about to enter the reactor room and attempt to restart the reactor using a borrowed power core from the skiff, Fatty. Luckily, Nikora is able to enter the room with no issues and hopefully is able to restore power to the spaceship without getting fired by radiation. After falling asleep at the controls, Nikora and Petra end up inside of an asteroid belt where the Second Chance, seemingly never able to get a break, gets pounded by some rouge chunks of rock and hopefully doesn't break apart! The episode comes to a close with Petra and Nikora having a serious conversation together over the last bowl of Vita-Pro where we learn that Petra really might be starting to develop a soft spot for our protagonist.

S01 E21 - Ironsworn: Starforged - Safety?

Welcome back to One Guy One Roll, the solo RPG podcast where we are currently playing through episode 21 of Ironsworn: Starforged. I have been having an absolute blast continuing to create content for this series and I hope that y'all enjoy listening to me as much as I enjoy creating it. The amazing support of all my listeners continues to inspire me!
This next paragraph is going to be a summary of the episode which may contain some spoilers. If you wish to avoid these, simply skip this paragraph! The episode start off with a flashback to a decimated world with Nikora and Zari performing the difficult and draining task of stripping crashed spaceships of their useful salvage. This planet, now known simply as Armageddon, was an important location during a struggle between two of the nobles houses in which the atmosphere and planets surface was devastated. This horrific catastrophe led to the nuclear disarmament of the entire Forge. Back in the present time, Nikora and Petra manage to successfully enter into the Drift and arrive at Aegis Hold. Nikora believes they should be able to clandestinely enter into the settlement, repair and re-equip the Second Chance, and escape before being identified by the Brotherhood of Steel Guild which controls it. Unfortunately, the Second Chance is spotted almost immediately upon entering into the system be a group of snub fighters. This group of individuals are flying an incorrect coat of arms for one of the noble houses and it is clear that they aren't Brotherhood of Steel members either. Both Nikora and Petra seem to think that something strange is going on here... however neither are quite sure exactly what that is yet.

S01 E22 - Ironsworn: Starforged - Shine On You Crazy Diamond

Welcome back to One Guy One Roll, the solo RPG podcast. I am Herocydides and currently playing Nikora Sokolov using Ironsworn: Starforged. This is Episode 22 and I hope that y'all enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed creating it. We have been experiencing rolling brownouts over the last week due to record heat, so I have been attempting to get this episode published for the last couple days and I am super excited to finally be able to accomplish that. Thank you so much for all the amazing support you continue to provide! It really means a lot to me and continues to inspire me!
As usual, this paragraph is going to be devoted to a summary of the episode which will likely contain some light spoilers. If you wish to avoid being spoiled, I recommend skipping this paragraph! The episode begins with a distant observation of Petra’s mother who is making antagonistic plans with someone who used to be very close with Petra. Back aboard the Second Chance, Nikora and Petra are being escorted by two snub fighters back to their base which Petra believes will be a death sentence for them and the Second Chance. Nikora comes up with a crazy plan that could potentially end up with the complete destruction of the spaceship in a giant fireball. Luck seems to be on Nikora’s side, until he ends up stumbling across some independent miners illegally harvesting minerals from the planetoids in this system. Suddenly, a Brotherhood of Steel (mercenary guild) corvette arrives and the non-complainant miners attempt to flee but get totally annihilated by the heavily armed spaceship. Just as the episode comes to a close, Nikora and Petra get spotted by the BoS and are told to prepare for boarding.

S01 E23 - Ironsworn: Starforged - The Cost of Safety

Welcome to One Guy One Roll, where I am host, play, and GM roleplaying games for your listening pleasure. This is episode 23 of Ironsworn: Starforged where I am playing Nikora Sokolov aboard the Second Chance. It has been an eventful last couple of episodes and I have been having a blast recording them for y’all. Luckily, it’s starting to feel like I am finally catching up on the podcast and once again I apologize for the length of time between episodes recently. Thank you so much for all the amazing support you continue to provide, it really means a lot to me.
This next paragraph is going to be a summary of episode 22, which will contain some light spoilers. I recommend skipping this paragraph if you wish to avoid being spoiled! The episode begins with a flashback of Nikora as a kid growing up down in the slums surrounded by towering guild halls. The destitute, starving boy often had to dumpster dive, an illegal activity, in order to survive, which often led to severe punishments. After the introduction, we learn a little bit more about the Brotherhood of Steel and how they operate within the Forge. This leads directly into Lieutenant Eren Slater of the BoS entering into the Second Chance, searching the ship and conducting an interrogation of Nikora, specifically asking about Subject A. After successfully engaging in some smooth talking, Nikora gets the Lieutenant to agree to escort them to the Aegis Hold proper where they can get the spaceship fixed up, take on some supplies, and hopefully even fix Chance. Unfortunately for the Lieutenant, the colonel in charge of the Aegis Hold is furious that she allowed this potential breach of security to occur and assigns her to be personally responsible for escorting Nikora and Petra around the station and ensuring they don’t get up to any funny business. Our episode comes to a close with the three of them leaving the Second Chance as massive docking clamps are being installed on the landing gear in order to prevent them from leaving.

S01 E24 - Ironsworn: Starforged - House Arrest

Welcome back to One Guy One Roll, the solo roleplaying podcast. Episode 24 of Ironsworn: Starforged was a little bit slower paced than the last few episodes but it was still quite fun to record. Just so everyone is aware, I am going to be heading out of town for the next three weeks for training. I recently started a new job and training begins next week. I will not have access to my computer or recording equipment during this time so the podcast will be on hiatus. I will definitely be back in September so stay tuned for more content then. Thank you so much for the support y’all continue to provide, it really does mean a lot to me.
This next paragraph is going to be a summary of the episode, which as always will contain some light spoilers. If you wish to avoid being spoiled just skip this paragraph! Our first scene begins with Nikora staring at an unfamiliar ceiling, he is currently being held in Brotherhood of Steel accommodations which are serviceable but not comfortable. After getting a chance to relax and recover from his wound and get the bare minimum of supplies needed for a jump from the Brotherhood, Nikora manages to convince Lieutenant Eren Slater that he needs to procure some electrical components in order to fix up the Second Chance. She begrudgingly agrees to escort him through the settlement and even allow Petra to stay behind and catch up on some well deserved rest. After a brief tour of the Aegis Hold, they arrive at an informal bazaar where contract workers can buy and sell luxury products and other things not available in the official stores. Here Nikora manages to meet a worn down older man who goes by Tinker. Tinker used to be a contract engineer for the Brotherhood and is willing to join Nikora aboard the Second Chance as long as he does something for him first.

S01 E25 - Ironsworn: Starforged - The Price of Freedom

It has been a long time, but welcome back to One Guy One Roll, the solo roleplaying podcast! I have really missed making episodes of Ironsworn: Starforged and I am glad that I was able to find the time to do so. As y’all are aware, I recently started a new job and have been out of town training over the last month and have not had access to my computer or recording equipment. Luckily, I have been able to come back home for about a week and thus I have been able to get this episode recorded and edited. Unfortunately, I still have three more weeks of training to accomplish so I will be heading back out of town again until early November. Thank you so much for the support and continuing to listen to the podcast every while I have been out of town, it really does mean a lot to me.
As always, the next paragraph is going to be a summary of the episode which will contain some small spoilers. If you wish to avoid being spoiled just skip this paragraph! Since it has been such a long time since our last episode, we began with a lengthy recap of the whole season in order to get back into the story of Nikora Sokolov, Petra, and the Second Chance. We also got the chance to see what Creed, the first person we swore the Iron Vow to back in Episode 0, has been doing this time. Back aboard the Brotherhood of Steel controlled Aegis Hold, Nikora learns that his trial has been scheduled to occur in almost two years! This length of time is unacceptable to him, so he comes up with a plan to get himself, Petra, and the mechanic Tinker out of this situation. After a deposition, Nikora is forced to swear another Iron Vow and is finally able to leave the Aegis Hold, although he now owes yet another vow, and this one has a time limit on it. Our episode comes to close with the Second Chance making yet another blind jump into Drift space, where yet more adventure awaits our ragtag band of misfits!

S01 E26 - Ironsworn: Starforged - Shades of Gris

Once again dear listeners, it has been far too long since I’ve been able to produce a podcast. But let me welcome y'all back to One Guy One Roll, the solo roleplaying podcast! It has been an extremely busy couple of months for me and I have really missed making episodes following the story of Nikora Sokolov aboard the Second Chance. For the time being, I am back from training and should be able to dedicate more time to the podcast. In fact, I would likely have been able to record a couple of additional podcasts, but unfortunately my old potato computer finally decided to crap out. Fortunately, I had backups of most of my important data including content for this podcast. I am super excited to finally be back home and able to hopefully produce content more regularly for your listening pleasure. Thank you so much for the support and continuing to enjoy the podcast every while I have been out of town, it really does mean a lot to me.
As always, the next paragraph is going to be a summary of the episode which will contain some spoilers so if you wish to avoid being spoiled please skip the remainder of this paragraph! Last episode we were finally able to disembark from the Aegis Hold, a Brotherhood of Steel stronghold. However, Nikora has just under two years to discover the source of various raids upon the system or else the dangerous Lieutenant Slater will be tasked with hunting him down and bringing him to justice! After completing a blind jump into the Drift, the Second Chance encountered an exploratory vessel belonging to the Union of Practice Chirurgeons (UPC), the medicae guild. This vessel has been tasked with tracking down the various ingredients needed by the UPC for their various tinctures and other remedies. The captain of this vessel recruited the Second Chance to investigate whether a nearby planet has a specific type of organic substance they have come to this system to collect. The captain even appointed a member of the UPC named Zoya to accompany Nikora on their planetary expedition. This strange planet simply named Gris ends up being quite different than anything we have encountered on this show yet, and amongst the towering ruins that dot the dusty landscape… perhaps not everything is as dead or quiet as it would otherwise seem.

S01 E27 - Ironsworn: Starforged - Mind Over Matter

Once again dear listeners, welcome back to One Guy One Roll, the solo roleplaying podcast! As I mentioned in the previous episode, I should be able to hopefully keep producing new episodes for y’all to enjoy in more regular intervals. I am thrilled to be able to produce additional content and had a great time recording this episode. Thank you so much for the support and continuing to enjoy the podcast even while I was out of town! As always, the next paragraph is going to be a summary of the episode which will contain some small spoilers, you have officially been warned so skip it if you wish to avoid these spoilers.
Episode 27 continues where the last one left off, with Nikora, Petra, and Zoya under a mesmerizing mental assault from a strange serpentine creature down on the long ago abandoned planet of Gris. This creature grows by consuming the thoughts and especially the emotions of those around it, it does not have a mouth or any other orifices. Over the course of the rest of that day, the away team from the Second Chance became mental food for the creature. Luckily, Nikora is a stubborn man with a powerful will and who is the only one who has a chance to fight back against this kind of mental attack. This creature’s bones also contain the specific alchemical ingredient that the UPC (Union of Practice Chirurgeons) exploratory vessel was looking for. If Nikora and the rest of the crew can manage to break free from the creature, they will be able to successfully complete the Iron Vow which was sworn to the captain of the UPC vessel.

S01 E28 - Ironsworn: Starforged - Dark Crystal

Welcome back to One Guy One Roll, the solo roleplaying podcast! I am thrilled to be able to keep producing additional episodes for y'all and hope to continually be able to do so for the time being. Episode 28 really ended up in a different place than I had been expecting it to do so. Thank you so much for the support and continuing to download and listen to the podcast. The next paragraph is going to be a quick summary of what occurred and will contain some small spoilers, so feel free to skip it if you wish to remain entirely spoiler free!
The episode begins with an introduction to the current political shenanigans going on between at least two of the noble houses. This conflict will likely have a negative impact throughout the Forge especially this small skirmish descends into all out war. Back aboard the Second Chance, Nikora gets reunited with an old friend of his thanks to Tinker as they set off towards Creed, who is located on the other side of the Cososus Flow. At the conclusion of their first jump, the ship ends up in orbit around a new planet with a strange satellite that defies explanation and seems to bend their understanding of physics. Petra then enlightens Nikora about the Precursors who inhabited this part of the galaxy before the arrival of humanity. Our episode comes to an end with a sunrise that appears to be awakening something ominous inside of the strange structure.
