Yolanda Vorloi's Character Sheet - Tales of Mystara, a Solo DnD Campaign

A great comic book artist and friend of mine Justin Pfeil drew Yolanda Vorloi. If you are a subscriber to my YouTube Channel, or my solo DnD podcast 'Tales of Mystara' then you will know that this is one of the characters in my solo adventuring party. I thought I would dedicate a post on this blog to display the art the Justin made, which is a true likeness and based on a description I provided. The same description is also given on Episode 8 of Tales of Mystara.

Yolanda Vorloi - Tales of Mystara, a Solo DnD Campaign

If you aren't familiar with Tales of Mystara: Tales of Mystara is a mixture between a solo Dungeons & Dragons campaign, a dark fantasy novel and a narrated audio dramatization. The rules of the table top and the roll of the dice dictate where the story goes as well as whether a character lives or dies. Nothing is precious and no one is safe from the roll of the dice…

As well as the awesome artwork depicting Yolanda, I've decided to provide information from Yolanda's Character Record Sheet. Feast your eyes...

I would also highly recommend that you check out the brilliant work Justin does on his web comic's, which include The Keep on the Borderlands, A Duel in Padua, and a few others. Justin can be found on Twitter @comics_alert and his official website is justinpfeil.com

Enjoy :)

Character Background Information

Yolanda Vorloi is a human thief of neutral alignment. She is a member of the Vorloi clan of Specularum, a very wealthy and titled Thyatian family. She is the niece of Barron Phillip Vorloi and as a young girl, she was very close to her cousin Marianna, her uncle's daughter and also his pride and joy. Yolanda’s family is the third corner of the triangle of Great Families in Specularum, and often clashes with the Torenescu and Radu clans. As a Court Lady, her formal title is Lady Vorloi, but as an adventurer, she does not use this formality, nor does she adorn her family crest, in an effort to keep unwanted attention at bay.

Yolanda also has ties with the Kingdom of Thieves. She has worked for them many times as a talented scout who has a picture perfect memory, she has been an asset. She can commit the general layout of a building to memory.

Yolanda is 24 years of age, but intelligent beyond her years. She is 5’ 3' ' tall and of elfin build - a little smaller than the average Thyatian woman and although weaker in physical strength, she makes up for this with her swift agility. She has dark brown hair and brown eyes. Her complexion is tanned and she wears her hair in a single long braid.

Although Yolanda is a thief, it is not obvious, she dresses like most adventurer’s do, in fairly common although expensive quality fashion. This includes black ankle length trousers, fine leather armour, a good sword belt with an ornate sword sheathed to her side and a bow and quiver of arrows strapped to her back.

Yolanda could be described as selfish and is likely to save herself before she will help others. She is also quite ruthless at times, and will willingly slice the throat of a sleeping enemy without hesitation.

Hello and welcome to this blog. “ How to Play Dungeons & Dragons Solo ” . This blog will explore the concept of playing Dungeons & Dragons solo . This means playing the game completely by yourself with no Dungeon Master.

Playing Pre-Published Adventures Solo Part 1 - a Solo D&D Tutorial

I’ve been asked on several occasions how I play pre-published adventures solo. I’m going to explain some of the rules I use here. The key to running pre-published adventures is to master the art of switching perspectives. I covered this in more detail in Tales of Mystara - The Palace of Evendur - Episode 2, and also in a previous article. In summary, sometimes in your solo game you will want to switch from being the player to being the Dungeon Master. This will aid you in the task of running pre-published adventures without ruining the element of surprise. The main goal when doing this, is to try to avoid meta gaming wherever possible. Playing Pre-Published Adventures Solo Part 1 - a Solo D&D Tutorial The Basics A really basic example of avoiding metagaming is deciding which direction the party will take when several options are presented by selecting the direction randomly. A simple roll of a die can be used with each side representing a different cardinal direction. F

Avoiding Meta Gaming with Character Actions - A Solo D&D Tutorial

In the first Episode of Season 2 of Tales of Mystara, I discussed some of my solo role playing mechanics, in an effort to help listeners better understand how I run my solo games. This is something I will try to do regularly in Season 2 and I figured it would make sense to include these short tips in this blog. I have been asked on several occasions how I stop myself from meta gaming, especially when running a pre-published adventure solo. This is actually a pretty easy thing to achieve, if you approach the problem of solo gaming in a certain way... Avoiding Meta Gaming with Character Actions - A Solo D&D Tutorial I've always approached the concept of playing D&D or other tabletop role playing games solo as a design problem that needs to be solved. For me, the problem is handled from three angles: The first angle is to emulate the role of the Dungeon Master, so I can experience the game from the perspective of a player. The second angle is to emulate player
