Heya everyone,
Hope you all had fun with Mythic Starters 2 last week and had some fun 1920's Weird adventures. This week I used a creative suggestion made by Jim: 'Tucker's Kobolds'.
Recently, I played around with a kobold character in a solo game of Tiny Dungeon and I thought it would be nice to use her tribe's background as a base for a kind of expanded wandering monster table y...

Heya, everyone!
Hope you all enjoyed having a go with Cogpustule's Workshop last week. I recently included a small actual play that covers the first room, if you are interested to see it play out.
Unfortunately, my family is having to go into quarantine at the moment, so I'm hoping everything will turn out ok.
This week I had fun trying out Tiny Cthulhu as a ruleset during a few ...

Heya, everyone!
Hope you all had fun using the Modular Notice Board cards from last week. This week has been pretty hectic and stressful for me, unfortunately, particularly with my day job.
However, I did manage to have some solo fun and played through the finale of a small Basic Fantasy game I have been running! It revolved around strange barrels containing dangerous slimes being delivered across...

Hope you all enjoyed trying out Rapscallion last week. I'm considering using it for chapter two of an actual play set in Tales of the Burrow.

Heya, everyone,

Heya, everyone!
I had great fun this week converting more of my solo gaming session notes into part 3 of the Deck of Point Crawl Locations and compile them into the rest of part 1 and part 2. As with the earlier additions, you will probably recognize some of them from my other resources. It was an enjoyable trip down memory lane for me!
As part 3 moves the card count towards what I thought would b...

Heya, everyone,
Hope you all had fun last week trying out some micro-adventures with the Fichtean Micro GM Emulator I made for the business card jam!
This week I wanted to create some fun encounter-based stuff you can slip into your favorite set of random encounter tables to spice things ups and create interesting story hooks along the way.
Random encounter tables have this nice GM-less worl...

Heya, everyone!
This week I had lots of fun playing around with an oracle seed loosely inspired by Deathwork's creative suggestion: Nekomimi.
The theme of this suggestion had me thinking about the Tales of Sakura adventure toolkit I wrote quite a while ago which is based around a loose fantasy version of ancient japan. I created the Mark of the Fox Demon oracle seed using thi...

Hope you all had fun taking The Whispering Church out for a spin last week!
Jesper Ohlsson's creative suggestion 'Hidden beneath the Snow' got me thinking about a postcard RPG I made a while ago as a physical reward for Singular Paladin patrons. I liked it as a gruesome cross between an undead Dowton Abbey, Blackbeard, and Ravenloft.
I always imagined H...

Heya, everyone,
Hope you all enjoyed the point crawl cards so far! This week's upload is inspired by Amanda Rader's jar of linguistic deliciousness: 'Whisper' and 'Ardent'. Which I thought was really fun to use as the inspiration for a pick-up solo game using Basic Fantasy!
Anyway, what started out as a pretty basic plot hook eventually got turned around on its head, and my characters p...
Heya, everyone!
Here is the second part of the point crawl location deck I've been working on. Most of these locations either featured during my own solo campaign, in GMless games with my son or were inspired by your past creative suggestions.
It has been so much fun seeing a lot of these adventure locations again while going through my session notes and putting these cards together!
I've also started to think of a similar setup for dungeon generation and creating a dungeon ...

I decided to prototype the pointcrawl system I'm currently experimenting with as a deck of cards for quick pick-up games with my son. I mostly use Basic Fantasy or Iron Falcon for these, but they are system neutral.
Took me a bit longer, as the layout for cards always manages to spin out...

Heya, everyone,
Hope you had a fun time with the second part of Crucible of Spiders last week! This week's upload is a small standalone NPC reaction system I made using comparative behavior states and context.
It basically uses an NPC's previous behavior state and lets you interpret a new state based on the old one. I thought the system would be nice as a small series of the 'the good, the bad, an...

I would like to tell all of you how much I appreciate your continued support and how grateful I am to be able to write up the solo roleplaying stuff I play for others to enjoy as well. Lots of fun things planned, and your suggestions and creative input have been so valuable to me.

Something special for you all this week. I've been having a great time solo gaming using Jason Tocci's thematic 2400 games.

Sheltered from the worst desert winds by rock mesas, Windhowl Oasis offers respite to those venturing into the cursed ruins of Ossuh. The sand blown remains of the ancient kingdom hide lost treasures eagerly sought by collectors and practitioners of dark magic.
Spirit-wraiths glide restlessly among broken statues rising from the sand dunes. They serve as the eyes of the dracolich Xakaroth that lairs in the sprawling catacombs underneath. 2020-10-27 23:02:05 +0000 UTC View Post
