Hello, it is me, your regular weekend host Mertie and I am here once again to guide you gently into Saturday with our usual feature What We've Been Playing, where we write a little about the games we've been, yes, playing. This week, Bertie - before fleeing for a well-deserved break and leaving me with the keys to the place - runs a one-on-one D&D game; Connor plays with his Moon Flesh in Warframe, and I've been serenely gallivanting over yonder hills.

But enough about us, what about you? What have you been playing this week? Do tell all! And don't forget we have an entire archive of previous What We've Been Playings for your leisurely perusal, just in case you forgot what you were playing a year or a month or a week ago.

I'm a little busy outside of work at the moment with rehearsals for a play I'm in (The Importance of Being Ernest), but I did find time for another Dungeons & Dragons first: a one-on-one game. I've been wanting to do one of these for a while, and, as I discovered recently, one-on-one games are a whole thing. Duets, they're called, rather poetically. You need to modify campaigns a bit to be playable this way, because most are designed for groups of four or five people, and you probably need to give a player a companion character as backup. But otherwise, it's totally doable. Some people make adventures exclusively for one-on-one games.

I ran a mini-adventure called D8 Night , created by the now-closed dice shop Dakota Irish.
