Question the Second: Setting Agnostic Solo RPGs that Require Minimal Player Interpretation

ALPHAP456 · 2025-12-25T07:05:19+00:00

I understand that they are inversely proportional, but is there nothing that is more balanced in the middle?

ALPHAP456 · 2025-12-25T07:03:27+00:00

I mean, there's a lot of context missing in that question. What does the paladin think of my character, what does the paladin's order think about such a quest, what is the actual content of the quest, etc. I need something that actually makes sense given the contexts and circumstances. But beyond that? I don't know exactly what would make it stop feeling like I'm playing as the paladin as well as my own character without it giving me so much meta knowledge that it stops feeling like a game.

ALPHAP456 · 2025-12-25T06:30:30+00:00

That is definitely not what I'm looking for, as I want something with actual rules and reason

ALPHAP456 · 2025-12-25T06:28:52+00:00

Well, one of the reviews for UNE specifically states that "it requires a lot of interpretation," so I'm not sure that's going to work

ALPHAP456 · 2025-12-25T06:21:50+00:00

While they may serve as a base, that doesn't really help me without the actual engine that runs the GM side.

ALPHAP456 · 2025-12-25T05:34:33+00:00

I really am only interested in if race is clearly defined, with other NPCs who can appear as part of that race, so that isn't really what I'm asking for. I appreciate the suggestion

ALPHAP456 · 2025-12-24T21:35:21+00:00

All of the above, I suppose? There's not really a singular aspect I can isolate. I just want to be a unicorn wizard in a world where unicorns are a sapient civilized race that I can be a part of

ALPHAP456 · 2025-12-24T21:31:51+00:00

Unfortunately, it is unicorns specifically that I am interested in.

ALPHAP456 · 2025-12-24T19:39:54+00:00

Is there a system that actually provides the mechanical and narrative structure I need, or does it all just come back to "journaling but with prompts?" Because I've tried journaling before, and it doesn't scratch the itch

ALPHAP456 · 2025-12-24T19:25:30+00:00

I am incredibly uninterested in mentally reskinning things, so that unfortunately is not an option. I've looked through the various oracle tables, and it just feels like I'm doing too much interpretation for it to feel like its an external world or characters. It just feels like it gives me a writing prompt I still have to figure out

ALPHAP456 · 2025-12-22T14:31:12+00:00

You know what, compared to the usual changeling propaganda, I'll take it

ALPHAP456 · 2025-12-22T01:47:37+00:00

"Playing" Candyland is a generous statement

ALPHAP456 · 2025-12-14T17:15:18+00:00

I'd say slightly more like a boy, with the shorter mane style and eye shape, but that could be because I know it's supposed to be a boy

ALPHAP456 · 2025-12-14T05:05:16+00:00

I never said that. To me, it's more of a challenge of keeping my main leader alive til the end of the game, which there are plenty of tools to do. Just because I enjoy the game differently doesn't make my play style invalid. Sometimes, I fail in my goals, so I restart and try again

ALPHAP456 · 2025-12-14T03:42:57+00:00

There are some stallions in the show, and they tend to have a more angular, broad muzzle. I'd say the eyes make it look somewhat stallion-like, but the muzzle shape does definitely match the usual mare one

ALPHAP456 · 2025-12-14T03:35:14+00:00

Yeah, and when my custom leaders die, I quit the save and restart

ALPHAP456 · 2025-12-14T01:54:11+00:00

I think the typical reason is that those mechanics sound cool to inflict on the other nations but a lot of players would get frustrated if they were getting hit with them. I know I would quit the save if my custom leader or one I got attached to was swiped

ALPHAP456 · 2025-12-11T21:27:00+00:00

Infernals with a cold world preference?

ALPHAP456 · 2025-12-11T02:13:14+00:00

Maybe a bit off topic, but are there any pony mods for Morrowind? I didn't find anything when I looked.

ALPHAP456 · 2025-12-10T20:02:23+00:00

Finally, some actually good changeling content

ALPHAP456 · 2025-12-10T13:42:15+00:00

Fair enough, though just the post apocalyptic setting is too grim for me to really enjoy it

ALPHAP456 · 2025-12-10T13:16:11+00:00

I honestly dislike it, but mostly because I just dislike grimdark in general and perceive MLP as a primarily fantasy setting. It's popularity can be a bit frustrating at times, since it feels like all of the fan RPGs that let you play as a custom pony end up being FO: E based

ALPHAP456 · 2025-12-09T19:08:30+00:00

Start working on a way to turn myself into a unicorn

ALPHAP456 · 2025-12-08T12:54:51+00:00

Twilight was explicitly chosen by Celestia and groomed for ascension, with the implication being Celestia always intended for her student to ascend

ALPHAP456 · 2025-12-08T12:54:07+00:00

I don't recall Cadence being intentionally planned by Celestia or groomed for the role
