Fyodor Ivanos' Character Sheet - Tales of Mystara, a Solo DnD Campaign

Back in May Justin Pfeil, tweeted an illustration of Fyodor Ivanos. He absolutely captured his likeness as I imagined him! If you are a subscriber to my YouTube Channel, or my solo DnD podcast 'Tales of Mystara' then you will be familiar with my solo adventuring party. I'm going to display the incredible art that Justin has made in this blog post. Justin has drawn up several of my characters so far, and always manages to get a true likeness based on the descriptions I provide. A description of Fyodor was given on Episode 10 of Tales of Mystara.

Fyodor Ivanos - 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…

Here is the information from Fyodor's Character Record Sheet. Enjoy...

Don't forget to 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

Character Background Information

Fyodor Ivanos is a human magic-user of neutral alignment, from a penniless background. He is Traladaran and comes from a homestead near Radlebb Woods, and wants to establish a wizards tower there. He is a very superstitious man. Although education was not widely spread amongst his homestead, Fyodor obtained a reasonable education from his grandfather and had access to books. Although many of the people he grew up with despise Thyations, because of his education, Fyodor does not share the same views.

As a dirt poor freeman, he toiled in the farmlands until his 36th year when he scraped enough money together to set out and achieve his dreams. He is now 42 years old.

Fyodor wears bright mismatching colours which include black boots with large cuffs, striking close fitting yellow trousers, a loose fitting white tunic laced at the frons, a deep green sash and a thick blue winter cloak, as well as finger rings, earrings, a gaudy brooch to secure his cloak and a heavy necklace about his neck. None of the jewelry is of expensive quality and all his clothing was handed down by his grandfather Pebarin Ivanos.

Pebarin was a well respected wizard who was driven mad by magic, and ended up penniless, but that aside, Fyodor still found his grandfather’s stories fascinating.

Fyodor’s hair is a deep brown with spatterings of grey. He wears it long, tied in a piratical ponytail. He has brown eyes, pale skin and close cut facial hair.

He carries a silver dagger at his hip, and his grandfather’s bright red saddlebag over his shoulder.

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. The idea to write this blog naturally developed from a YouTube video series I created back in July 2020, dedicated to the process of how to start and run a Dungeons & Dragons solo campaign .

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.

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
