It isn't for me, I don't think, but he is including a free introduction solo adventure PDF.

So I had a couple of personal breakthroughs today.

So I had a couple of personal breakthroughs today.

First is the use of a dry erase surface. Writing on a paper has such a feel of permanence that I hesitated to simply jot things down as I played a session, so I kept getting drawn into prose which slowed down the action. However the new plexiglass on my wargame table also makes a great dry erase surface, which by its nature is transient. I was jotting and doodling away as I went, seeing my progress accumulate before my eyes.

The second was that I say down at the table with no plans or anterior motives. I didn't know the setting or the plot, much as I would were I setting down to a more traditional game with a GM. Roy cubes and the ME, and a few other tools lead the way. Here again the dry erase helped, because I simply jotted down the first logical thing that popped in my head.

I'll attach a couple of photos, including my untimely demise in a crypt I tried to shelter in during a sudden snow storm in th mountains. I was looking for a victim snatched by cultists, because apparently even random generators love the classics. Never found the poor soul.

Finally got this off my hard drive. Introducing Perilous Intersections, my solo RPG engine.

I'm currently trying to put together a solid, relatively generic set of Idea Generators for use with solo roleplaying, and I'm looking for good examples to work off of. I already have the Action and Subject tables from Mythic, and I was planning on somehow incorporating the list of Dramatic Situations. What are other good lists or wordbanks to draw from? Does anyone else have IGs they particularly like?

How can we measure our solo roleplaying?

How can we measure our solo roleplaying?

At the moment I've come up with these:
Time gamed per week
Dice rolled
Session length
Sessions per week
How many memorable moments
NPCs encountered
Immersion

Can you think of other measures? (It doesn't matter if they're silly.)

Thanks

I just thought of something: you don't need to emulate the GM. You can be the GM, and emulate the players. This should be much simpler, as the range of responses of characters is much more restricted than the range of responses of the GM.

You can pick any old module and emulate a PC party.

What do you think?
