Today I am ecstatic to bring you the first official episode of the month of December, famously the last month of the year and even more famously all about the mysterious, tantalising, and more that just a little twisted british/celtic folklore inspired tabletop roleplaying game.... Dolmenwood.

This episode was a labour of love and if you can feel that ...

Hello and Welcome Back to the Solo RolePlayers Podcast.

Today on the show I got a hot little game to the table, known to some as Kal-Arath. This affordable, old school, small foot-printed little gem is great for short (or long) sessions on the go or at home.

Hope you enjoy the actual play of Kal-Arath.
