Key Points

Logistics of playing and creating Actual Plays
- Share your actual plays somewhere people can subscribe because it pushes your work to those who want to see it.
- Create a backlog before you start releasing (💭 Commentary: Argh, oops. I failed that.)
- Create a production schedule you can stick to.
- Croaker noted some tools that other roleplayers have used: e.g. Miro, Google Keep, Notion, Roll20, etc.
- Interesting: Write Firster of Playing With Myself also enjoys playing solo ttrpg on mobile!
Telling stories
- Plan an overarching narrative, to put oracle rolls into context.
- Write out the story
- Showcase the mechanics of the game (and visually distinguish from the story)
