So, here's a log of my first solo game that I've been able to start and finish. I've only had a few false starts prior to this.

So, here's a log of my first solo game that I've been able to start and finish. I've only had a few false starts prior to this.

I went the way of +Sam H, and used FU:RPG, Fudge to work the probability, and Mythic, via the RPG-Solo software. My own setting, loosely based on Ravenloft, though you can't really tell. And some random generators for names and meta-creativity.

I think I worked the rules correctly, though it was a rocky start. Only thing that started to bug me was the combat portion. I definitely started to lose interest by the end and just wanted any out come...I'm not sure if it was my inability to make it interesting for myself or if it was the mechanics of the thing, so I'm thinking about giving it another go with the same rule set I've chosen, or check into FUBAR.

Anyways, I'd love some feedback on if it looks like I've understood the rules and such, but understand if that's tough to do, not being in my brain and all =P

Anyways, it aint pretty but, here it is.

-

Faustian is traveling with the caravan lead by the gypsy witch, Lucia Gaul.
Is the caravan currently moving?

(50/50 | 10[d10]) Yes, and...

Being followed?

0 = +0 +1 -1 +0
(50/50 | 6[d10]) Yes, but...

Do we know we are being followed?

-1 = +0 +0 -1 +0
(Somewhat Unlikely | 8[d10]) Yes

Is there more than one in pursuit?

1 = -1 +1 +1 +0
(Somewhat Likely | 8[d10]) Yes

More than four?

(50/50 | 4[d10]) No

4 = 4[d4]

Do they seem threatening?

-1 = +1 +0 -1 -1
(Somewhat Unlikely | 4[d10]) No

Are they holding back?

-3 = -1 -1 +0 -1
(Very Unlikely | 4[d10]) No

The caravan slowly made its way across the marshland road. Four trackers came up on the caravan and asked to see the leader. Lothas, one of the caravan guards, stood from his seat and waved the trackers over to the front seat of the ornate wagon at the head of the caravan. In a deep voice, Lothas greeted the trackers and asked what he could do for them.

Are they looking to trade?

0 = +0 +0 +1 -1
(50/50 | 5[d10]) No, but...

The speaker of the trackers pulls a pendant made of Fire Glass from one of the pouches slung across his chest. He held it high so that the sun caught the glass and sparkled with dark red hues.

Does it cast a spell?

1 = +1 +1 -1 +0
(Somewhat Likely | 3[d10]) No

Does anyone in the caravan recognize the amulet?

2 = -1 +1 +1 +1
(Likely | 10[d10]) Yes, and...

Does it belong to anyone in the caravan?

-3 = +0 -1 -1 -1
(Very Unlikely | 5[d10]) No, but...

Does it look familiar to more than one person in the caravan?

-1 = -1 +0 +1 -1
(Somewhat Unlikely | 2[d10]) No

Does it look familiar to Faustian?

1 = +1 +0 -1 +1
(Somewhat Likely | 7[d10]) Yes

Is Faustian alarmed by this?

1 = +0 -1 +1 +1
(Somewhat Likely | 9[d10]) Yes +Event: Violate / Military

(So, I forgot to add that it is a magical amulet. After I asked if it cast a spell, I got the "no, but+" result. I forgot to mention that, even though it didn't cast a spell, doesn't mean its not magical...)

Faustian swore under his breath as he realized the man was holding what was known as a Linking Stone. Made of varying hues of fire glass, they are made into jewelry that is then magically linked with another piece of fire glass of the same color. Among other uses, they can be used as homing devises. In this case, the other piece was magically embedded into the base of Faustian's skull, removable only by high level magic. It was placed there when he joined the clandestine mercenary unit, The House of Shadows. Of which, Faustian just recently deserted...

Does the amulet have the ability to pinpoint?

1 = +1 +0 -1 +1
(Somewhat Likely | 6[d10]) Yes

The leader shifts his gaze to Faustian while speaking with Lothas, and points in his direction, the amulet in his hand glowing softly red.
One of the trackers moves to put himself directly in the path of the slow moving lead wagon, in an attempt to stop the caravan. The other two trackers move to flank the wagon Faustian was riding.

Lothas, still impersonating as the caravan leader, glanced nervously at Lucia, wondering if he should give the order to halt the caravan, or keep going through the tracker in its way...

Does she give the signal to halt the caravan?

-1 = +1 +0 -1 -1
(Somewhat Unlikely | 10[d10]) Yes, and...

Lucia stands and cries out for the caravan to come to a halt, and demands that the trackers stop to explain themselves, or she will give the order to attack the trackers.

Do the trackers stop moving in on Faustian?

-2 = +0 -1 +0 -1
(Unlikely | 2[d10]) No

Lucia gives the order to attack.

Faustian rolls his eyes and sighs in resignation ( his character sheet says he's a very Flipant Roguish type...) as the two trackers close in on him from either side. He jumps from his seat and nonchalantly tries to evade the two trackers by hopping into the back of the wagon, before they are able to grab him.

Does he succeed? (+1d for his AGILE Body descriptor)

5 = 1[d6]+4[d6]
(discarding the low roll d6, I get a Yes for the 4)

As Faustian scrambled over the wagon and down the other side, Lothas and Lucia dealt with the other two trackers.

Lothas attacked the lead tracker with a surprise head butt.

2 = 2[d6]

Due to the trackers quick reflexes, he was able to pullback and Lothas connected with the trackers chin, dazing Lothas. Does the tracker seem fazed?

-1 = +0 -1 +0 +0
(Somewhat Unlikely | 1[d10]) No, and...

The tracker grabs Lothas and flings him to the ground.
Meanwhile, at the head of the caravan, the tracker at the front advanced on Lucia as she muttered strange words and made signs with her hands. Is she able to cast her spell before the tracker reaches her?

5 = 3[d6]+2[d6]

Lucia cast her spell in an attempt to put the trackers to sleep, but the spell had no effect, as if the trackers had some sort of magical protection. The tracker reached Lucia and swung at her head with his club.

6 = 6[d6]

The club connects, and knocks Lucia unconscious.

Faustian spoke a single word of magic and in his hands faded into existence two shadow-like scimitar swords (He is a Shadowy-Spell-Sword kind of class) and he jumped to attack the two trackers trying to catch him. He lunged and danced between them parrying their attacks like blurs of shadow. He catches one tracker off guard and strikes for a killing blow.

5 = 4[d6]+1[d6]

One down, three to go...Faustian spun on the now shaken tracker closest to him, and attacked with a blur of his shadowy blades.

5 = 1[d6]+4[d6]

Faustian strikes down the second tracker and focuses his attention on Lucia, just as she is knocked unconscious.

The tracker who knocked her out, moved to help his comrade with Lothas, while Faustian moved to help Lothas. Does he get to Lothas before he is set on by the two remaining trackers?

2 = +1 +1 -1 +1
(Likely | 3[d10]) No

Are the trackers able to make a killing blow to Lothas before Faustian reaches them?

1 = -1 +0 +1 +1
(Somewhat Likely | 4[d10]) No, but...

Lothas rolls to one side, just missing a fatal blow to the head. Is Lothas able to get back up onto his feet?

1 = +1 -1 +1 +0
(Somewhat Likely | 4[d10]) No, but...

Faustian reaches them and attacks.

4 = 2[d6]+2[d6]

Attacking both trackers, he is only able to put one down before the other attacks him.

2 = 2[d6]

is Faustian wounded?

4 = +1 +1 +1 +1
(Sure Thing | 8[d10]) Yes

Is it a mortal wound?

1 = +1 +0 +0 +0
(Somewhat Likely | 5[d10]) Yes, but...

Lucia is a witch who can bring back the dead...

Lothas, now back on his feet and behind the last tracker, swings his large curved sword at the tracker.

7 = 3[d6]+4[d6]

He makes a killing blow to the last tracker.

Lucia groaned as she came to. Lothas ran to her and pointed to Faustian, explaining that he had been mortally wounded. Is she able to bring him back from the edge of death?

-2 = -1 +0 -1 +0
(Unlikely | 4[d10]) No

...The End
