Definitely gonna use Mythic/Rory's/various other divination-inspiration/RPG tools in the near future. If I wanna post stories generated with these tools (as narrative rather than play by play with mechanics on display)...

Is there a good place to post these things semi regular in G+? I imagine I'll just post several comments in a single thread as I expand a story. Can you lock down comments from others but still comment yourself on your own post?

I would just blog it but I really feel leveraging the community here (any community, not necessarily Lone Wolf) or someplace similar would be very informative to me as a writer, as well as just getting it in front if more people.

Thanks for any advice. It is appreciated.

I am working on a dungeon generator based on the random tables in OSRIC and the DMG. You decide what type of area you need and it creates it. Bust out your graph paper, because you will need it.

Methodology: What the hell am I doing?
Combat in a solo rpg is not the easiest thing in the world. Nor is
the building of a dungeon as you go. Sure you can click a button and
have a full-fledged dungeon but to have done progressively, as your
character moves, is something else entirely. For c...

More shameless self-promotion - Post 7 in "Solo Role-Playing Series" has gone up. This one is just an example of play that includes oracles (tarot, icon dice, etc., as opposed to systems with finite, concrete results of a yes/no roll or a random table.)

I doubt it's anything anyone here hasn't already thought of - remember I'm aiming for beginners who want to do play solo but are looking for a "how to" they can follow as a guide. A benchmark, even a low one, can be useful when getting started.

Hopefully, I've demonstrated the use of the oracle well. If you feel otherwise please let me know! The last thing I want is to be too vague as to what I'm doing.

I welcome feedback so i can improve the post, clarify my statements, which i sometimes get garbled between my brain and my fingertips, or follow up with ideas in a future post.
