Had a question / thought. Have any of y'all tried running a solo game using a player-facing supplement and an oracle / system? Like, say, A Field Guide to Hot Springs Island and an oracle when you get somewhere to determine what's true and what happens? You could just ignore the DM material, use the oracle, and be as surprised as the players when you find out the player-facing material is a lie. I'm sure the oracle isn't going to create quite as interesting a setup as the DM's guide might, but you could be surprised by what happens.

I was thinking of doing this with something like Pelgrane Press' Book of Smoke, but just wanted to see if anyone else had given this a shot.

  1. I've heard it discussed, but I don't recall any posted actual plays. I've always been a build the world on the fly kind of guy. (Note to self, post that as a possible theme for SGAM2018.)
