Main summary

Key takeaways

Gaming

Storyline / Month Theme: Super Solo September (September 2026)

  • This video is an update for “Super Solo September” (September 2026)—a community, month-long event where creators and viewers pull superhero TTRPGs from their shelves and create/share superhero-themed content.
  • The host (Turk) frames September as a focus on:
    • Superhero-focused play, drawing, painting minis, and story creation
  • October is planned as a shift to horror/zombie-themed solo play.

Gameplay Highlights / What’s Being Played or Covered

Core focus: Marvel Multiverse Solo (X-Men) actual play + mechanics reading

Turk plans a solo X-Men campaign using the Marvel Multiverse Solo core materials.

Expected structure

  • A “session zero”
  • Approximately 3–4 episodes of actual play during the month
  • Weekly live streams where he:
    • Reads through Marvel Multiverse books
    • Reviews mechanics

Materials referenced

  • Marvel Multiverse books including:
    • Rivals
    • Deadpool oneshot
    • Young Adventures
    • Secret Wars expansion
    • (and other referenced materials)
  • He describes the books as functioning like hero “history” / background guides, which he’ll use for campaign inspiration.

Supporting superhero RPG content

Streamed/featured miniatures and card tools

  • 616 dice
  • X-Men character cards (used for inspiration/oracle-like prompting)
  • HeroClix minis (e.g., Marvel Girl, Domino, Wolverine) as stand-ins for battle maps

On-deck oneshots / additional systems

  • In the Shadow of Glory
    • A 2-player journaling zen experience (from Raven’s Ridge Emporium)
    • Possibly involving partner play
  • Midnight Muscadines
    • Magic-focused
    • Turk hopes to do a oneshot rather than a full overview
  • Sentinel Comics RPG
    • Turk wants to revisit it solo
    • He references an earlier group actual play called “The C Team”
    • Interest includes seeing how it handles solo play now
  • Index Card RPG
    • Specifically Vigilante City
    • Turk wants to explore it as a superhero/vigilante setting
    • If Marvel solo rules are available, he’ll avoid overcomplicating by using them; otherwise he may use Mythic or similar oracle tools

Key Strategies / Tips Mentioned

  • Use inspiration tools instead of waiting for perfect prep
    • Turk plans to use X-Men cards as oracle-like prompts (NPCs, encounters, inspirations).
  • Modular approach to solo play
    • If a system doesn’t yet have dedicated solo rules, he’s prepared to improvise with oracles/Mythic until official solo rules arrive.
  • Campaign pacing adjusted for schedule
    • Due to a new full-time job:
      • Reduce posting to ~2–3 videos per week (from 4–5)
      • Keep at least one X-Men solo video per week

Schedule / Format Changes (Operational “Gameplan”)

Live stream day/time shift (for Marvel mechanic reading)

  • Live streams likely move from Mondays to Sundays or another after-work day.
  • Target time window: ~5–6 PM PST
  • Duration: ~2 hours

Twitch

  • Twitch will remain in use, but Turk indicates it’s for a different purpose (details to come later).

Community “How to Participate” (Event Mechanics)

  • Use:
    • Hashtag: #SuperSoloSept
    • Discord: a text channel called “Superhero September” for sharing battle reports, story sessions, and minis
  • End-of-month reveal:
    • Turk will publish a video or live stream reviewing what community members created.

Charity / “Good Deeds During Play”

  • Turk is promoting Hero Initiative throughout the month.
  • It’s described as a nonprofit that helps comic book creators in need.
  • He mentions a description link and that he had permission to promote it.
