I stumbled across a web app today that might be useful for recording solo games. It's called True Novelist (https://www.truenovelist.com), and it's a KISS program at its core.
In the left column you have nested threads for scenes, characters, and places. In the center you have a basic word editor for writing about those things, and on the right you have some simple options.
Currently I am using it to work up a peanut gallery for a paranormal investigation game I've had kicking around in my head. Given the ease of moving things around in the nested threads also makes me think this could be good for a solo Microscope game I've been thinking about.
Having played Microscope can see how this would be a great way of recording the output - thanks for sharing will have a look properly later :)
ReplyDeleteWow! It looks like it has the bare-bones functionality of Scrivener, but with web accessibility, and for free. I'm impressed!
ReplyDeleteJohn Perich funny you should mention it, I found this when I was looking for an web alternative to Scrivener. The only downside is that I haven't discovered an export function. It may be there and I'm just overlooking it.
ReplyDeleteGeoff Osterberg HI Geoff - just started using it to organise a cast and a few locations for RPG group, the expert function is there, under "Story Tools", everything comes as a zip file organised in the same tree structure as you create. The files are all HTML but very easy to extract the contents if need
ReplyDeleteMalcolm Iggleden thanks! That makes me much more comfortable with investing time into it. I have a paranoia of services going under and taking my content with them.
