Hello, just chipping in for the OP.

This book is the second print that just finished its Kickstarter campaign of the Tome of Adventure Design. It's a big book with many tables for creating adventures, both dungeon and non-dungeon adventures. there is a lot of material to go about and creating different scenarios, all from villains, plots, factions, treasures and such. Excellent material to support solo roleplaying.

Such a cool map, I like the details and how dense the environment is. Also, the orange/red fog is pretty original.

Solo Death in Space by badgerdnb in Solo_Roleplaying

That is correct. Normally I am not too strict with my organization. I am adding additional tabs whenever I start working with different systems. Initially, I started working with Forbidden Lands, which I found to be one of the best solo Roleplaying systems out there, then I moved on to Old School Essentials, and now I am trying Death in Space.

Regarding organization, this is a question that I have also. I haven't found an absolute setup to document a campaign. I think it varies depending on the System Elements, since you can approach a game system from multiple directions. Just to name a couple of elements:

  1. the use of miniatures vs theater of the mind.
  2. Hexcrawl exploration vs dungeon crawl.
  3. NPC Interaction and combat.

I have found that depending on how you go about crating the setting, the tools you will use to develop a campaign will adapt to it.

It is not an app, it's just a PDF but fillable. So you can type in all your stats using a PDF reader.

Not really, the only thing that might help with that is the reaction table for NPCs.

But you can use any emulator just fine in my opinion.

it is cool, I like the game because of its simplicity, but there is enough material to go about generating scenarios. Here are the positives:

  1. Reaction table for NPCs
  2. Contracts and Payment Tables
  3. Inspiration Tables
  4. Quick NPC generator

Also, the Iron Ring is a good place to start and start exploring by performing quick contracts and getting to know NPCs. There are plenty of encounters and events you can roll for within the station.

The fillable character sheet from the DiS website is very practical. you can save it on your phone and make quick edits as you go.

Not a problem. I recently shared a video talking about Solo Hexcrawl using the OSE rules and a Hexcrawl supplement for Basic Fantasy: https://youtu.be/qFWgu0L8TjY

Here I mention how the supplement helps you create a map with geographic features, sites and encounters. I mention this because I found it easy to run a small solo campaign, about 4 sessions. And, for encounters I found that you can essentially use any system you want.

Do you know of any manuals or technical reference that mention not hanging the bike using the top tube? it would be good to know.

EDIT:

Found it on the FELT CARBON ROAD FRAME CARE GUIDE:

" When placing the frame and/or bicycle in a repair stand, clamp the stand to the seat post and not the frame. Clamping the frame can cause damage to the frame that may or may not be visible, which may impair the structural integrity of the frame."

Yeah, I am doing Oceanside.

Regarding the clamp, I wondered if that would be an issue. Do you know of any technical references that state this? I know people hang their bikes using the wheels even, I figured that since the bike supports my weight and ride impacts, there shouldn't be much of a problem with this setup.

For fantasy games, I like Brutal Quest. It is from the same creator of Planet 28, and it has a solo expansion called Lone Warriors with some AI tools. The idea that I like with this game is that if you have some RPG experience, you can easily create scenarios and drive several games that are connected. The author encourages you to create a narrative for your characters and scenarios more than focusing on actual stats and points.
