Session 2 of English Eerie is finished. Things get a little stranger, but as I have finished my second session with 3/4 of the drawn cards being clues things just haven't quite escalated yet. I have a feeling tomorrow's session is where this powderkeg is really going to blow.

My first session of English Eerie - Rural Horror Storytelling for One Player by Scott Malthouse of Trollish Delver (http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/225811/English-Eerie-Rural-Horror-Storytelling-Game-for-One-Player)
I'm planning to continue playing out the story a day at a time until it reaches its conclusion. Tonight's session drew two of the four Clues, which made today's entry somewhat heavy on exposition. That does mean of course that future sessions will begin to ramp up rather quickly.
Here is my character's description, to help provide context for his writing:
Sir Edward Parsons (Resolve 5, Spirit 5)
I grew up in Derbyshire and the now Lord Christopher was my best friend. Upon coming of age we went to different universities, I became fascinated with ancient histories (particularly that of the Romans in Britain) and spent the majority of my life (and what was left of the family fortune) digging for relics up and down the windswept heaths and moors of England's back country. Lord Christopher followed in his father, the late Lord Christopher Sr, by becoming a minister of Parliament. Despite the distance in our positions, Lord Christopher was the frequent receipient of my letters and I of his.
Recently however he has become quite withdrawn and had not answered at all the letter I sent a month ago, so I made the decision to call on him to ensure he was well. I found him ill, pallid, and weak with no explanation to be had. It pained me to see my hale and hearty friend reduced to this state. Moreover, he tells anyone who will listen about the strange lights and sounds he has seen on the moors that surround the manor and of the strange shapes he swears he sees outside his windows at night. I have decided to stay at the manor for a week or so to ensure my friend is on the mend before returning to my own home in London.
I hope you enjoy and continue checking the doc as Sir Edward delves deeper into the madness that is consuming his friend.

Just putting this out there in case anyone is interested. If you have an Alexa from amazon, you can play a D&D like adventure by saying “Alexa, start dungeon adventure”. Alexa will act as the DM. I tried it tonight just for a couple of minutes and it was pretty cool.

Not really role-playing but solo minature gaming: I just started playing X-Wing miniatures casually with a friend and really like it. Only had two games so far but I enjoyed them very much. Ordered the base game and a few ships (we played with his collection). Since I love tinkering and solo gaming I came up with this very simple first draft of a solo ruleset to play against a simple AI. It is more a brainstorming document and needs testing but I had to get the concept on paper.

So please feel free to try it out (I have to wait for my game to arrive) and give me feedback. I know there are a few solo rules out there and even apps but I was looking for something more generic. A set of guidelines that is quick and dirty and can be used for all ships.
So here goes nothing...
