Someone asked "How do you guys solo play?" on the subreddit.

I LOVE this question so i took a moment to write up my answer https://www.reddit.com/r/mythic_gme/comments/1db3owa/comment/l7t7h99/

If you're on Reddit still, and you I'd love to see your answer.

Also, OMG some of the ways people do this sounds ... so painful. Like OMG WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT TO YOURSELF, but it just goes to show how different our 🧠s are.

Seeing how radically differently people approach is also insightful in that it gives us a clue as to why some people find so much more enjoyment with solo play AND an frustrations in group plays

We don't just enjoy different types of games (trad vs narrative vs whatever) and settings. We also want to interact with our games in different ways at different speeds. There will always be some degree of "impedance mismatch" when playing with others.

Continuing to replace the AI-generated images in my game now that I understand how problematic it is.

It's turning out to be making my game better. Below is a comparison between the AI image I'd generated (on the left) for a snowy outpost and what I drew (on the right).

The AI version is evocative enough, I suppose, but it's obviously AI generated. And the image on the right is MUCH closer to what I envisioned for the scene (despite my art skills). I like mine better.

Thanks for saying so! I'm kinda struggling with it, but it's coming along slowly!

@lonespelunker Keep it up! It only gets better and easier! (I don't do visual arts, but I do music. I know how this goes. 🤣 )

How was your weekend? I love a rainy weekend in the Pacific Northwest corner of America, as it relieves my guilt of doing what I want to do ... staying inside. I read a little, wrote a little, hacked a little ... even played a classic from the 90s (Curse of Monkey Island on ).

I also did a little math. Yeah, been thinking of taking the "Yes, and.." dice mechanics used for luck rolls in games (not sure who came up with it first), and fusing it with Mythic GM Emulator's Fate Chart, popular with the crowd. Since I'm always playing with my notes written in on the screen, I hacked it in . Shared the details in case anyone wanted to do something similar in their favorite programming language.

@howard awww man that Elisp RPG stuff of yours always looks amazing but I have no use for this in my Emacs 😭

The "1 to 10" scale sounds like it was iteration zero and the text stuck because you don't enter numbers anymore, though?

@howard So much of the #Emacs community's output falls under "I will never use that but I am overjoyed that somebody made it."

Our ethos is not monolithic or rigid, but an essential component is forty solid years of "Look at this amazing thing somebody made."

Looks like there's a new #solarpunk #TTRPG on the block: https://www.sdrgames.studio/pages/why-we-fight by the creators of the "Earth Rising" board game.

"Why We Fight is a solo+ narrative TTRPG where you play a crew of eco-punks fighting fascism to build a brighter, greener future."

"(...) help struggling refugees and the havens they’ve made, and build a thriving, self-sustaining solar-punk community, all while pushing back against a force that seeks to blame the powerless (...)"

Ab jetzt beginnt ein neues das Zeitalter des Solo-Rollenspiels. Habe bereits mit #Ironsworn erste Erfahrungen sammeln dürfen und nun ist es Zeit das etwas „professioneller“ anzugehen 🤭

@pnpnerd Ich finde es voll spannend, wenn Leute sich für sich hinsetzen, um Solorollenspiele zu spielen.

Hab viel Spaß! 😄

Est-ce que vous connaissez des coins d'internet où on peut trouver fictions interactives, genres des livres dont vous êtes le héros qui auraient été numérisés mais dans un format structuré qui permette à un programme de parcourir le contenu ? L'idée serait de faire un robotchat qui affiche un paragraphe, lance un sondage, les membres du salon votent pour choisir le paragraphe. Ce serait pour revivre la saga Loup Solitaire en coop.

O.M.G.Squeee! I just stumbled across this amazing video by Howard Abrams about "Crafting Ironsworn in Emacs" which discusses how he's integrated all the moves, tables, and mechanics of Ironsworn into Emacs, allowing him to easily play solo Ironsworn games.

THEN he went and genericised the system to play other games.

Regardless of how you feel about #emacs you should check this out. Every solo playable game should have a tool this awesome.

I should play Colostle today. I need another scene. I should also play Battlecrest.

Why are you playing systems? are living off their social interaction and emergent storytelling, which is not-existent or strongly diminished when playing solo. Which system do you play and what makes them work for you?

samurro,

@kik @lextenebris So much text. And yet I fail to see what new bring to the table. My intention was never to shame #solorpg players. I was just genuinely interested in motivation/experiences...even quotations marks are ignored...sigh

kik,

@samurro @lextenebris As you say, so much text. If you're still failing to see the interest of solorpg, maybe it's time to consider you may have preconceptions and are attached to them, to the point of refusing the answers to your very questions. And yes, you get heat because your contempt is showing.

Did some sketch painting tonight. It's prep for a Solo RPG called Apothecaria. Decided to paint the little cottage my Witch is gonna inherit.

I think it's done, gonna let it fully dry, then maybe go in with some shadows but we'll see. Don't wanna over-work it. The point is to be a quick sketch.

The Captain’s Log #notebook from https://www.getdigital.de/star-trek-notizbuch-captains-log.html is the perfect companion to Star Trek Adventures. It’s even #fountainpen compatible.

So I'm interested in trying to find something I can use as counters for #SoloRPG purposes.

I'd particularly like to find some flat disks, roughly about 2cm across, that I could glue paper to. I got some printable sheets with counter designs and they're about that size at the smallest, so that would be ideal.

I imagine there must be some #boardgame pieces I could seek out, preferably cheap ones, but no luck finding any so far.

Anyone with any clue where I could look? #Craft stores maybe?
