Quick way of setting up an adventure

Quick way of setting up an adventure

Nice little technique that can be adapted to the solo toolbox (credit: WarriorMonk of StoryGames.com): 

needs: a setting map, and two d6s

1) Choose one dice to be the starting point, and the other to be the end point.

2) Roll the 2d6 over the map

3) start the adventure at the place where the starting point dice lands

4) Your destination is where the ending point dice lands.

5) The number of each dice represents the danger level of each location. If both dices are low, it means the danger is in the path you take to the place.

6) Compare each place along with danger levels, and apply creative aids as needed,  to figure out why your PC is going from one destination to the other and why it's dangerous.

7) Once you have the setup, it's adventure time!

Now, I know of stuff like the Dungeon Generators and even world generators on Donjon, but what sort of stuff do you guys use for Procedural Generation in your solo RPGs? This video got me thinking of them.

Interesting article I found while doing a google search for solo roleplaying.

a good format for writing down solo plays in a blog post

a good format for writing down solo plays in a blog post

I'm still searching for a good way to format the text in a blog post to distinguish between mechanical bits, narrative bits, GM text and player text.

For example:
- mechanical bits like dice rolls are in [ ]: (Example: [roll 1d6 = 5])

- normal narrative bits are written without formatting (Example: John threatens the thug with his knife.)

-GM text is written in code blocks (Example: you can see it in this post here, can't do it on G+: http://dieheart.net/ap-dungeon-world-one/)

- player text (in character) is written in italics (Example: John: "Hey, do you really want to do that?)

The aim is that the reader can instantly distinguish between the different parts of the write-up so it's easier to read.
Does anyone have a better idea? Color is not an option in my blog.

A while ago I wrote a rpg system which should be easily playable solo (originally it was intended with Tiny Solitary Soldiers). It's generic, uses descriptive character creation and dice results which are similar to FU. Not playtested though.

So, thinking about that one-page planet I shared, would you like a toolkit that lets you create your own planet adventure sets?
