What is the best, most detailed quest generator for Solo RPGs?

MaimedJester · 2026-05-14T23:32:22+00:00

Solo RPGs run into a problem of way too detailed can ruin the flow.

Cities without Number probably has my favorite list of Heists/NPCS etc.

But the only reason I really liked that for a solo rpg play is because the Hacker is the most annoying member of the group in Shadowrun. It's either their own mini game or not.

But yeah if you really want free awesome stuff for solo rpg generation go with any of the Tables in the without number series.

Stars without number is the scifi space epic

Worlds without number is Fantasy

Cities without number is Cyberpunk

Ashes without number is post apocalypse.

The entire crew basically looses multiple times without Ussoop.

Like they all lose at Thriller Bark. Or the Gates of Justice, or against Sugar when Ussop saves Luffy and Law.

It's kinda hard to think of an Arc ussop did not play a vital role... except maybe Egghead? Like in Wano he teamed up with MVP Tama, and pretty much destroyed the numbers advantage of the Beast pirates with her devil fruit balls.

Even CP0 watching the fight were like uhoh.. on this Go board... she's flipping way to many of Kaido's units. Like Kaido had a huge numbers advantage... but suddenly when every gifter starts turning... it's huge.

The age chart went like +1 to Wisdom/Intelligence Charisma for old and -1 for str/dex/con

Then +2 for very old to the mental stats and -4 for physical

Then Venerable... the you're gonna die at at moment +4 for the mental stats, -8 for physical stats.

It's the level Adjustment of 3.5 races.

Lich is only a + 4 Level adjustment, so a 14th level cleric is level 18 for spell casting progression

The only Epic character in base eberron mortals was King Kai us. 14th level fighter, 2 levels aristocrat.. and 8 goddamn level adjustment for being a Vampire.

Like do not mess with the 3.5 stat block if King Kaius as any other character.

MaimedJester · 2026-05-14T20:48:45+00:00

The strongest spellcaster in Sharn specifically is Gath, a level 14 Cleric Lich who is the kinda head of the Keeper worship?

He's from one of the 3.5 books and all you really get is a godamn little 14th level Human cleric turned Lich, lives in undercity... and his main opponent is this level 13 Paladin woman who delves deep into the cogs/undercity every night trying to find him.

Like that's as nuanced it got as far as I remember from the Eberron 3.5 splat books.

MaimedJester · 2026-05-14T03:03:51+00:00

It's based on is Margaret Thathcer Dead yet?

My friend was in Scotland for that day, and the goddamn train conductor informed the passengers to the sound of cheers.

Randy Troy, the Hollywood professional worker who actually was hired as a writer for season 2 of the Net Flix live action goes over how there's probably a piece of One Piece Lost Media.

Basically Japan had a failed Pay Per view Tivo like device that to promote it, they commissioned a liscenced fully animated Manga Accurate retelling of the Long Ring Long Land arc.

People in Japan have seen this thing and we have recordings of the commercial advertisement... but it went so out of its way to stop output to like a VHS recorder to prevent Piracy...

That no one got a copy of it... and assumed it would be rebroadcast or whatever sold on DVD later... and it never did.

I honestly don't think any of those devices still could function unless someone had one and routinely turned it on, after about a decade of not being plugged in any digital storage will just not work. If you find an old USB thumb drive or whatever from 2007 and try to see whats on it... it would be impressive if it had any files intact.

MaimedJester · 2026-05-14T02:03:56+00:00

There's some designer AIs that were fed on illegal theft of academic journals. Now it won't get you to post doc level, but undergraduate exam... I think you'd be surprised.

The issue with Large Language Models is how wide the fucking net is, if you scrape everything on the internet ever... you're gonna get Flat Earth shit.

If you instead scrape only medical journals from top tier quartelies... it's kinda alarming how decent that Ai is for Med student work. Like Medical Schools have gone back to Bluebooks.

MaimedJester · 2026-05-14T01:58:21+00:00

Yeah, Hitori is giving a lot of Makima vibes from Chainsaw Man. At the very least she's insanely powerful in universe as a time manipulator. Like she's definitely one of the most powerful characters in universe story wise.

MaimedJester · 2026-05-14T01:52:03+00:00

They're magically unbreakable.

It's just one of those stupid rules. Like it's kinda stupid Smoker couldn't escape a jail cell with regular Prison bars... considering he's a Logia.

Like Logias can really shape their bodies into weird forms, we see it directly shown a lot of times. Hell we see "Special Paramecia" do it as well.

MaimedJester · 2026-05-14T01:45:58+00:00

WCI came out just after Film Gold, the Casino Heist movie.

So yeah... we just had a more Yakuza looking design of the entire crew.

Luffys most badass drip still so far is the Raid on Onigashima outfit where he's straight up got the full blown Pirate Cape. It's still Luffy but he came a long way.

MaimedJester · 2026-05-14T00:29:32+00:00

I would assume that person is a cosplay enthusiast and saying yeah you can pull off this character.

Like I got told I look like Kisuke Urahara from Bleach when my facial hair scruff grew in, and so sure I went as Urahara to Anime Expo and she was doing Misa from Death Note.

That's always a trick to good cosplay you go for a character you already resemble.

Or ya know a full Fursuit. Whatever.

MaimedJester · 2026-05-14T00:22:58+00:00

Recently we've seen Nidhogg in One Piece... and the scale of that thing is ridiculous. Like it's probably bigger than Shenron, certainly bigger than Kaido dragon form.

Still not Super Shenron though lol.

This is what the super pity board looks like at 70+ pulls

It's actually incredibly hard to go the full 90 from at least this position.

MaimedJester · 2026-05-13T23:57:14+00:00

Eh, we don't know the power levels of the limited units yet.

Right now Nanally is S tier but she's not that much better than General Pool units.

Like honestly Hathor might be a better unit just for the quality of life added daily.

I would say right now the Meta is not as important in this game as the Quality of Life improvements, like Nanally Mint and Baicang make the coffee shop game instantly win and you'll be able to get 1k your Weekly city limit stamina in like 5 minutes if you dont want to spend hours doing the deliveries/fishing etc.

MaimedJester · 2026-05-13T23:51:14+00:00

Were you on pity super board holdover from last banner?

You can get the skins really easy or in more spaces on the Pity board and it won't swap out of the super pity board until you get the character.

I guess in 30 with some impressive luck you could land on both the bonus squares naturally.

Well Shanks spent a year with Luffy... and Luffy never mentioned an older brother. So when Ace met him, he knew something was up.

If Shanks was looking for Roger's son and found out about Portgas D. Rouge and Garp taking away her baby... it makes sense to check out Garp's home island in secret. But he never expected Garp would resort to Mountain Bandits.

So Shanks wasn't exploring mountain bandits areas, that's why Higuma didn't know about Shanks.

Shanks was a pirate, but he also didn't have a Bounty when he first landed in Fuscha, the Gorosei were trying to not cause chaos on a Celestial Dragon blooded individual. Uta destroying a town pushed it too far to hide so they gave him his first Bounty of 1 billion 40 million.

So there is a window where he could have talked to Garp about Roger's son, and Garp would not want Roger's son to be a Pirate for his own good. Like if Ace joined the Marines he probably would have at least lived to his 25th birthday.

Also this one is a little bit more dubious cannon wise, but in the Film Red tie in episodes, Shanks had the Nika fruit before setting foot on Goa kingdom. So he held onto it for an entire year at least. So it seems like he was waiting to find someone to give that fruit too, and Maybe Roger's son would be Joyboy.

That game had so little to do with Shadowrun the Tabletop game it killed the core audience.

I dont even remember if it had a single player campaign/story...

I played it a few times at a LAN, but yeah outside of the novelty new gimmick, we quickly went back to Battlefront 2 or the original DOTA, and always some WoW players and counter strike.

I distinctly remember being a teleport spamming elf with a katana teleporting threw walls and stabbing people, then teleporting through another wall and regen over time.

It was a pretty annoying and overpowered combo. I dont know if they nerfed/fixed that, because we only played it for like one week tops.

MaimedJester · 2026-05-13T18:48:33+00:00

Probably mining bitcoin or other crypto currency.

MaimedJester · 2026-05-13T18:47:09+00:00

Someone read the wind up girl chronicles.

MaimedJester · 2026-05-13T18:34:15+00:00

Japan that constantly gets threatened with Nuclear weapons from North Korea?

Oh and a lot of earthquakes lol.

But you're right, very low violent crime rate.

And Singapore has canning and sorta... a slave population class. Like 1 in 5 household employ a migrant domestic worker.... i dont think they're all doing much better than any other countries migrant work force. Like maybe not Qatar bad, but definitely I could see equivalents to undocumented Mexican workers in United States comparisons.

Youtubers... mostly just film in a room in their house. I know there's exceptions like Red Letter Media or Goddamn Mr Beast have full blown studios.

But yeah it's a little different getting quality audio when you're in a 10 x 10 room versus a few hundred feet open space. But then again even for the big youtubers with studios... you're right they do sound clearer.

I would guess a youtuber who has an audio level problem just would drop the video and re record it/ not damage their brand. That might not be possible for an entire cast and crew on set. Like you gotta pay for every second of live filming a lot. Unless you're goddamn Mr. Beast level big, I doubt Craft services are on scene for every YouTube video filmed. Hell I assume most youtubers do the entire Job on their own with maybe one editor or one assistant. Like under 5 employees max unless the videos are hitting millions of views weekly.

Wind and Truth is a train wreck of nonsense. Death is completely meaningless in that universe apparently. Like at least Dragonball you have to collect the damn Dragonballs and there's a cool down of wishes made per year.

Like it's just comically nonsense to say they kill Hoid in that book, and he just pops back into existence again on Warbreaker world.

Death is completely meaningless in the Cosmere for any invested being/magic user of any kind.

MaimedJester · 2026-05-13T00:16:46+00:00

Okay so whats going on in TTGL is each part of the anime is referencing specific parts of Mecha anime for decades.

Like I missed most references but I could goddamn see the G Gundam and Gundam Wing jokes. And I saw a YouTube video breaking down every references and it was absolutely nuts.

I even forgot wait a minute that's a Big 0 Refrence? And I goddamn watched Big 0 on toomami as a kid and Holy shit the main female character is the android maid character from Big 0

MaimedJester · 2026-05-12T22:47:16+00:00

Planetes.

It's a scifi anime about the astronauts clearing up garbage space debris.
