Thank you for this. It's really useful. And superbly done. If I can suggest one small modification: In Alone in the Crowd on p. 3, you mention that "Settlements can also be discovered by chance. For each day travelling there is a 1-in-8 chance that a settlement is discovered." I believe this should also be mentioned on the travel chart in Sölitary Defilement. But that's the only thing really.
Streets of Decay also acts as an oracle for generating streets, but does not include the additional rules for each shop type, location, and event, as found in Alone in the Crowd. It might be good for some sparks on inspiration, though:
Don't know where to ask this, so I'll ask here. In your example play in SD (page 28), you mention Plague Larvae. And DNGNSTOCK will also randomly generate them. But I can't for the life of me figure out the source reference for them! Where do they come from!? Where do they go!? Where do they come from Cotton Ey.... Ahem. Sorry.
But seriously - What book/add-on/whatnot has Plague Larvae?
I’d plonk down a stack of gold for a 3rd printing!!! I printed out the pdf in booklet format and it looks ok next to all my other supplements. I’m sure the peasants would think it’s fine. However I am too rich to accept anything but a professionally made product. Lol
in Solitary on pg 9, there is a list of stock creatures, three of which are to be found in “Core: lll”. There is no pg. 111 in the core rulebook. What is “Core: lll”? I didn’t find it in the Heretic supplement (the 3rd MB book).
I've just started getting into Mork Borg and came across your supplements. Congratulations on selling out on your recent print run. Are you able to advise if you'll be doing another?
Personally I find PDF's awkward to work off and much prefer physical copies.
Out of curiosity do you have any intention or thoughts regarding a potential solitaire rule set for Cy_borg?
Hey! I just realized I missed the print version... Do you plan to release another one soon? If not, is there a way to obtain the "Alone in the Crowd" pdf? Thanks :)
Thanks for asking! I don't think I am going to have time un the next 8 months at least to work on anything like CY_litary Defilement, so if anyone wants to then go for it! However if you base it around Solitary Defilement I would appreciate if the Third Party License was used.
Really great! I think this "pbta" approach should be included in the core version as well. really great! Any thoughts on if a strong hit or a miss with doubles could cause?
Recently come by the Solitary Defilement rules for Mork Borg thanks to the Dungeon Dive channel. Brilliant combination of the Moves system and the Narrative systems for Solo RPG play. I have been having a blast working through my own Mork Borg Solo Campaign. I would really love to get a printed version, maybe through Drive Thru RPG POD perhaps.
There will be an announcement very soon. For now it will be a deluxe boxed edition, limited to 100. More once my collabor and I have finalised a couple of details!!
Yes. I'm looking at a very quick Kickstarter to cover those who want a copy - plus some extras... I'm hoping to get things moving next month: I ordered paper sample swatches yesterday.!
Now that the content and rules have settled down I will add page numbers - and maybe even a few extra graphical touches in the next update. Gimme a week or two :)
Admittedly, this doesn't show much mechanically, so I will add that I am at 2 progress of an 8-step journey/adventure (rolled into one) and am on Misery #2, using d2 for my morning calendar rolls.
Thanks! Just working on some new rules for linear 'micro-crawls' - for when the full dungeon crawl just seems excessive. It really feels like the missing piece of the system... Watch this space over the next day or two!

I'm bummed I missed the deluxe boxed set. Any idea when there will be a reprint?
You didn't miss it. It is available now from Max Moon games
I got it! Nice glow-in-the-dark edition box :)
Is there a Spanish version?

Thanks again for doing this. Truly.
A typo on page 2: the name of the creator of Ironsworn is Shawn Tomkin (not Tomkinson).
Omg, thank you. I must have automatically typed it because my bff's surname is Tomkinson!
hello I know you don’t want to read this but please I have no shame please do one more reprint thank you
It's on the cards for later this year. Honest!!
What supplements can i use for solo play in towns and villages?
Cheers
The expanded edition includes Alone in the Crowd, which is a pretty comprehensive city crawl supplement:

Thanks in advance!
I made the up for that campaign. Penciled them in early, but only settled on the stats etc much later when it came time to encounter them.
But they're also in the DNGNSTOCK generator! Is there a secret listing of lovely nasty monsters somewhere? :-)
DNGNSTOCK has a load of creatures culled from my solo and group games :) they only exist therein... but I could do a downloadable appendix sometime.
Well, no pressure. You've done enough already. Rest. Relax. Restore d6 health.
Will there be a 3rd printing? I’d love to get the box…

Well, my Wretched Royalty friend, keep an eye on the Max Moon website. 3rd printing this summer!
Ok looking forward to this as well! Thanks!
i'd plonk down a whole stack of silver for a 3rd printing of this! my skeletal hands shake with anticipation...
Random rules question- When making a 2D20 roll and adding a stat (Strength, Omens, etc), do you add said stat to both D20s?
Any plans for print run #3? :)
Is there somewhere I could obtain Alone in the Crowd as an individual file instead of as part of the bundle on DrivethruRPG?
Great great supplement!!! Having fun running my own solo campaign: https://www.smokeraven.com/mork-borg-session-00-exquisite-corpses
in Solitary on pg 9, there is a list of stock creatures, three of which are to be found in “Core: lll”. There is no pg. 111 in the core rulebook. What is “Core: lll”? I didn’t find it in the Heretic supplement (the 3rd MB book).
It refers to Rotblack Sludge, which has Roman numerals.

There is a budle with all the solitary defilement and one shot dungeons on driverhrurpg
Congrats on selling out that 2nd printing pre-order. It'll end up being a nice little collectors piece within the community.
Hi there - I had a question. When looking at the chart for rolling for # of room exists (page 13) - what does the “-“ mean? Thanks!
No exits! Either backtrack or try and find a hidden door.
I was afraid you were going to say that!
Hi, any plans to make a version of this for Cy_borg? If not, do you mind if others do and base it on Solitary Defilement? Thank you.

Ditto!

Is there a waitlist or contact list that those of us willing to jump in as soon as another printing is available can be put on? Sign me up if so!
Hi - there won't be a waitlist, but I am considering how to handle pre-orders and will make an announcement here in August or September.
Oh cool! Where do I sign?
Stoked for this 🤙
Hyped for this!
So glad to hear this!
Any updates regarding physical copies reprints?
I'm on board with this!
I will def buy
Hi - please see here for a new edition (limited to 100 boxed copies) now available for pre-order from Max Moon games:
https://www.maxmoongames.com/product/solitarydefilementbox/17?cs=true
Ditto!
Dropping comment so I remember
good idea!
I am also very interested to hear about a print copy.
Another comment saying I'll buy a physical copy as soon as they're available 😁

Another lonely voice here crying achingly into the void, "Yes, yes, if there is another print run, would purchase!"

There will be an announcement very soon. For now it will be a deluxe boxed edition, limited to 100. More once my collabor and I have finalised a couple of details!!
Very excited about this!
dang, sure hope I'm quick enough to snag one 😬
success 🤙
Can you release a digital version thats ready to be printed and made into a zine?
Haven't been able to get my hands on a physical copy and I really prefer to not use a computer when I play. If not I'll just have to camp your Etsy XD
The PDF should be printable in booklet format from your PDF viewer or printer settings. But let me know if you have issues doing this!
Is there a chance you will relase a plaintext version or one without the full page art?
Hi!
I have just put a plaintext here - feel free to reformat if for your viewing needs:

This looks very nice! Btw will there be another KS print run?
Possibly - I've got a few bits of house keeping and then will take stock of what is left and put some listings up!
Is there any place where we can buy a print copy if we missed the Kickstarter?
I'll be selling some in the new year! Watch this space! :)
Awesome! Thank you!
Copies available here!
https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1188668527/solitary-defilement-full-bundle-solo
Thanks for the notification, but they've already sold out! I hope you'll make more.
There are a few more, unearthed from a lost, forgotten crypte... https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1188668527/solitary-defilement-full-bundle-solo
Any plans on publishing a printed version?
Yes. I'm looking at a very quick Kickstarter to cover those who want a copy - plus some extras... I'm hoping to get things moving next month: I ordered paper sample swatches yesterday.!
Excellent! I’ll look for you on KS!
I'd be very interested in this!
Hi William and Iain! The pre-launch page is now live! Hope to launch on 16th August!
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1d10plus5/solitary-defilement-solo-resource...
How about page numbers?
Now that the content and rules have settled down I will add page numbers - and maybe even a few extra graphical touches in the next update. Gimme a week or two :)
Keep it up!
Been using your system the last few days. Great job! Here is my first play using a dungeon with brand new randomly rolled characters: https://rpggeek.com/geeklist/283947/item/8246277#item8246277
This is so cool, thank you for sharing!
Days 2-4: https://rpggeek.com/geeklist/283947/item/8248540#item8248540

Oh this is awesome! I might try playing this co-op style with a friend.
CÖ-OP BORG!
Man oh man, I do love this! Some quality stuff.
Thanks! Just working on some new rules for linear 'micro-crawls' - for when the full dungeon crawl just seems excessive. It really feels like the missing piece of the system... Watch this space over the next day or two!
Perfect timing! I just bought MB a couple of days ago for solo!
Very cool!
This is very good, the 2d20 narrative resolution is so clever.
I've just seen your solo oracle, too! Great work!
