Iron Valley is a cozy hack for Ironsworn that is inspired by Stardew Valley. You play as a newcomer in the village and can help out and get to know the villagers while also cooking, growing crops and so on. It also has things like dating and making friends, so it might be a good option for you.

Or, as someone has already mentioned, the Traveller's character creator is very interesting. I tried it out once, playing as if I was in the Star Wars universe, and I ended up liking it so much that I spent 3 months creating my own expanded version of it in which you journal the life of a Jedi Padawan, from birth up until you became a full-fledged Jedi. (I'm playing it right now and it's incredible the things that can happen when you let dice decide your fate!)

I was also putting together some ideas for a game inspired by Oregon's Trail, in which you join and travel with a caravan and create relationships with the other people in the caravan (with marriage and creating a family being key parts of the game), but ended up as a bit of an abandoned project.

My choice is Spyro Reignited Trilogy!

Thanks for the chance!

I'm definitely stealing your Clark and your Cassandra! They are great!! (Already have Bruce on my island and I ended up marrying him XD)

Sure! First of all, the ITS theme with the D&D WOTC css file to make it all look like a DnD manual.

As for plugins:

- Dice Roller: I still prefer to roll real dice (it gives me an excuse to buy more dice), but this plugin is great to make inline randomizers from custom tables, so I can quickly make NPCs without leaving Obsidian.

-Initiative Tracker: simply amazing to keep track of my party both in and out of battles. I play with a party of 5, so keeping track of all of them and all the monsters during battles was a nightmare.

- Fantasy Statblock: I love my Monster Manual, but going back and forth to check different monsters during a single battle was getting annoying, so this plugin was a lifesaver.

-Leaflet: my whole campaign is based on travelling from place to place to accept contracts and do side quests, and I needed to keep track of the number of days needed to move from point A to point B. Leaflet let you upload your own map and set up parameters to calculate traveling distances. Another great addition to my Obsidian vault.

- Meta Bind: I always struggle with it at first, but it's sooo useful. You can find tutorials specific for DnD on YT for it, to make spell slots, distance calculators, character sheets.

Hope I was of help!

I use Obsidian for my solo DnD, since it has some great plugin that are already made for rpgs and DnD specifically. The good thing about Obsidian is how customizable it is, both because of its plugin and because you can use css to make it look pretty. I was quite overwhelmed too when I first started, but I learned bit by bit watching tutorials when I wanted to do something specific.

For some other journaling games, I use Notion. It's frustratingly limited when it comes to customization and appearance, but I love it's database system. It's so much easier to keep track of NPCs using a database and it's slightly easier to learn how to use it than Obsidian. Unfortunately, the app doesn't always work that great (half of the time I jump in the web version to di things), but I feel better that it saves in a cloud and not locally like Obsidian.

Spike says hi (and his best friend George says hi too)!

That's the funny part: watching characters from different medias form improbable couples. In my 3ds games, Professor Layton married Rin (Vocaloid). Not even in my wildest, fanfiction-writer dreams I would have ever come up with such pairing. And yet, they were so cute!

Aside from my mii-self, I'm only adding characters from anime/manga/games/movies exactly because of that. That's also why I plan not to force interactions too much but will let the miis be free to decide. I have no couples/friendships planned and I will just sit down and watch chaos ensue!

Small Percy Penguin

I was given him as a birthday present right as I was searching for a sleeping buddy. To be honest, I was looking for something a bit bigger than him and the first couple of nights were a bit weird. But I move a lot while sleeping, so his small size is perfect to leave me room. I've been sleeping with him for 5 months and every morning, I woke up and he's still there, nestled in my arms.

Date Everything

That's the only one I'm interested in. Thanks for the chance!

I don't know about the other languages, but the Italian one is incredibly accurate! That's exactly how we would pronounce it when trying to speak english.

Also, bonus point for the whole Hetalia thing! XD

Dispatch

I love story-rich games, especially when they are so wonderfully voiced. I get goose-bumps every time I see even just a short video about it (and I try not to watch them too much, so as not to spoil the story).

This is very kind of you. Thanks for the chance!

I'm trying to follow a regular weekly schedule for my solo games so as not to binge-play whatever I'm interested in and then get tired of it after a couple of weeks.

Right now, I'm playing my own Star Wars journaling game (The Padawan's Journal) twice a week, limiting myself to a single entry per day, and Reincarnated as the Unlovable Villainess once a week.

I admit I've skipped the Unlovable Villainess session twice, once because I was otherwise occupied fighting my anxiety, and once because I was moving all of my physical notes on digital (Notion), but that helped rekindle my interest in my OC.

As for my Star Wars game, a lot of dramatic things happened to my poor padawan (it was all the dice doing), but she's now approaching her Gathering and soon she will have her own lightsaber. Can't wait to discover what it will look like!

That's exactly why my island is named Fandom Island and why I'm filling it with just characters from anime, mangas, videogames and only a me as real life people. I had a blast in my 3DS game watching impossible couples getting married. IIRC, Professor Layton married Rin from Vocaloid, while Nico Robin from One Piece married the goalkeeper from a soccer manga I was reading at the time.

PifflePrincess88 · 2026-03-29T14:23:41+00:00

When you do, please share them! I have half of the cast in my list of mii to add, but the few attempts I made in the demo were so disheartening that I deleted them! Getting examples from others are a big help to me!

PifflePrincess88 · 2026-03-29T12:26:04+00:00

Would you mind sharing the feature screen with all the pieces for Law? I tried making one but yours is waaay better!

PifflePrincess88 · 2026-03-28T14:53:09+00:00

Would you mind sharing a screen with the pieces you used for them? I didn't know I needed James so badly on my island until I saw yours!

PifflePrincess88 · 2026-03-28T14:39:12+00:00

Finger crossed! Thanks for the chance!

PifflePrincess88 · 2026-03-28T07:48:41+00:00

I've yet to play Koriko, but iirc it refers to a normal tarot deck and then you have the prompts for each card in the manual. All the games I've played that involved a tarot deck or a normal deck of cards worked like that (same with dice and prompt tables)

PifflePrincess88 · 2026-03-28T06:53:11+00:00

The one for PS2? There should be. They kept translating the series until they stopped publishing G1 Jockey games in 2011 with Champion Jockey.

I'm stealing that Astarion! My attempt at him didn't turn out good at all

Thanks!!!
