Last month I meant to post a solo play for Ship of Lost Souls, which hit stores in November. I even played through all three chapters of the eponymous 3-act adventure. But it turns out Tjalva Garheltdottir is just too strong. Even after a shaky start (failing all of her skill rolls in the first chapter), she managed to tear through those zombie pirates and their demonic overlords with very little difficulty. It did not make exciting reading. So this month I am focusing on the release of Heroes' Struggle, the collection of six 1-act stories based on the first six Heroic Works adventures for The Dark Eye. (Note - Mild Spoilers below for one of those adventures.)

Last time, I talked about diving solo into the first chapter of the longer adventure in the Aventuria Card Game base set, “Legacy of Wildenstein.” That was definitely a challenge, but eventually Mirhiban Al'Orhima won out and made her way towards Castle Wildenstein to claim her heritage. This time, things went a little better. Let's talk about why... (spoilers for “Legacy of Wildenstein” below)
