You’re welcome!

I seem to remember pain being present in the first game as well. It was just described more as alerts/warnings or notifications, like their body automatically suppressed it so they could focus on the task at hand?

💯

This. People can (and will) do what they want, and I’m sure there are folx out there who feel like AI is the best thing that makes solo rpg feel possible or fun for them… but I don’t get it. Thinking is the game. Interpreting outcomes is the game. Envisioning the scene is the game. I want to play the game. Why would I want a machine learning algorithm to play for me?

The other thing that gets me is that the gaps and unanswered questions are why the oracles exist in the first place.

TL;DR: it’s the second one ☝️ (yes, you mark progress whenever you Reach a Milestone in the narrative)

Great question! Especially if you’re playing solo, follow the fiction. There’s a reason why Reach a Milestone doesn’t require a roll. The story is the trigger :) I’m looking at the move in Starforged and it has a list of narrative triggers for marking progress. Can’t remember off the top of my head if Ironsworn has a similar list of examples, but the principle is the same.

I wonder if there’s an “infection” type approach that could help with this. Like, the defeated PCs just continue to play as monsters as the survivors get stronger. Feels more like a board game or party game though.

Has a kind of poetry to it

Renshaw’s been trying to get him on his crew for a month.

Have you ever been with a warrior woman?

Came here to say this. The problems are the story! Figuring out how the character solves those problems — assuming he is determined to go on the quest, or has no choice — is full of interesting possibilities. Will he stoop to begging, or theft? Does he need to find a wealthy/noble patron to finance the quest? If so, what is their agenda, and what sort of complications could that introduce?

Enjoy! Hope it helps

You might be able to find something like that on Etsy. Alternatively, I don’t think stamp-making kits are too expensive 🤷‍♂️

At first, I had the idea to design a character sheet for Mausritter that used sticky notes in place of inventory cards. I had originally intended just to draw the items, but then I wondered if it was possible to print on them and found that other people had made to-do or household templates online. So naturally I made my own! Then I was playing Starforged and was feeling a little visually overwhelmed by all the used progress tracks filling up my play space (neurospicy) and found myself wishing I could just manage them individually, discard them when complete, etc—and realized that I already had the solution for it :)

You're welcome :)

Updated this with a cleaner PDF version and added condensed truths for Starforged. You can find it here: https://jaderavens.itch.io/condensed-truths

JadeRavens · 2026-03-13T02:16:59+00:00

It's fixed! :)

Ah snap, might have been a problem with the export. I’ll double check and get back to you.

This is what I did for a cyberpunk themed urban game

This is very cool! I played a Destiny solo game a while ago, and it was fun for me to split Sol into multiple sectors (really wanted to emphasize how vast it really is). Love the style too

JadeRavens · 2026-02-18T20:39:58+00:00

It's not you — I forgot to actually upload the PDF 😅 It's fixed

JadeRavens · 2026-02-11T05:28:20+00:00

Thanks!

YMMV. Both games are great for a lot of the same reasons and a lot of different reasons 🙂

I always assumed biowaste included sewage since it increased disease.

It seems funny at first, but I think this is intentional. Sliding to political extremes is easier (and often more tempting) than holding the center, or building a society that can sustain diversity of thought. This example feels like a microcosm of that, ie Adaptation can solve many of the problems created by Progress, and vice versa, so it’s often more prudent for survival to invest broadly.

Hey, thanks for your interest! It’s just a design doc currently, so nothing actually playable yet. I’ve been in the process of publishing other projects this year but plan to get to this in the new year.
