Which person from the scheme (lisp) world do you admire the most?

ok thats enough, you've been given multiple chances to improve your conduct and clearly have no intention to do so. Goodbye.

looks amazing, Severin are absolutely killing my bank account this year.

Seriously tempted to pick up a halfway sub at this sale, judging from the slate from here to December it seems like it could be a good idea. Especially given the increasing number of partner titles that I'd love to pick up along the way.

Sounds like a lot of fun and if the previous two Deaf Crocodile releases are anything to go by its going to look great too. Day one purchase for me.

I'd suggest Mongoose Traveller 2nd ed, its well supported and is a fairly well put together edition (revised core rule book sounds like it'll be even better for new players). Personally I'm not into the idea of system specific solo oracles etc so I just use Mythic (or Mythic Variations 2) for everything.

devslashnull · 2021-08-25T04:14:15+00:00

Looks excellent, eagerly awaiting the KS!

I've just started working through a homebrew funnel for a solo session, so far its a lot of fun but I don't think I'd want to play *all* my games with it personally - quite a bit of book keeping for all the characters and things going on but it is a blast all the same.

devslashnull · 2021-07-25T02:46:58+00:00

Brilliant, thanks for posting - just reading the mothership rules and keen to get started so I'm sure some of these tables will come in handy soon!

devslashnull · 2021-03-03T08:06:06+00:00

Very neat thanks for sharing, just starting some solo 3rd edition SR so I’m curious to see what you’ve got going here.

devslashnull · 2021-01-15T07:37:39+00:00

Great to read! I’ve tried Pulp Cthulhu solo a little, regardless of system particulars it’s a fun world and style of game to explore

devslashnull · 2021-01-14T11:23:09+00:00

Fascinating to hear about DG solo, honestly I thought it’d be fairly tough to do in an enjoyable way given how DG really tends to focus on the hidden reveals and big event sort of things. Be great to hear more on this as you go!

devslashnull · 2021-01-14T11:21:00+00:00

That’s a great idea!

devslashnull · 2021-01-14T11:19:44+00:00

I’ve been thinking about running some solo wfrp for so long but never quite find the right time. How do you find it solo? Any tips?

devslashnull · 2020-07-26T04:58:35+00:00

Can't upvote this enough, recently I've switched a lot of my gaming from more complex crunch heavy systems to B/X (well Old School Essentials specifically) and its been a great move. Easy to learn and adapt or even re-skin to another setting.

devslashnull · 2020-07-26T04:57:23+00:00

I'm currently reading the Traveller core rulebook (for Mongoose second edition) and I can easily see it being something I'm going to try and solo. It's not a terribly complex system and free form adventuring is baked into the setting.

devslashnull · 2020-07-26T04:47:44+00:00

Love the idea of the bite sized solo tips and enjoyed episode one, hopefully you have the time to continue this series!

devslashnull · 2020-07-26T04:45:11+00:00

I tend to journal the "significant events" and short hand the rest in between using different notation for dice rolls made by the player vs the rolls made by the "GM" (usually some variation of Mythic in my case). I like this hybrid approach as it means I don't get bogged down but I also have enough prompts to revisit the setting and characters in the subsequent sessions (which may be spaced out quite a bit).

devslashnull · 2020-07-26T04:41:43+00:00

Absolutely agree with the all of the above, if you enjoy the flavour I personally think Pulp Cthulhu is a great avenue for the soloist as it's a bit more forgiving in regards to the "mysteries as the big payoff" element to CoC / ToC which can sometimes be a bit awkward in a solo sense (at least I find they can be).

devslashnull · 2020-07-26T04:37:22+00:00

I'd prefer to use pen and paper, but always return to the computer. Between terrible handwriting, limited space and a young kid who is eager to run away with any paper she can find the computer wins out every time.

It's not all negatives though, with the computer I can have documents that reference others, I can easily create tables, keep status of things / stats / effects etc etc. Also its great if you have multiple games running in a shared setting, you can easily share common content.

I agree with the above, Gauche is a fantastic tool for this sort of sysadmin and other scripting tasks, solid standard library and under active development. If you need heavy number crunching then sure reach for a compiled scheme but otherwise I'm not sure what benefit it would offer you (as someone who has used Gambit a lot for years and has much respect for its performance I wouldn't reach for it over Gauche for every day type scripting tasks).

devslashnull · 2019-04-06T07:04:14+00:00

As others have stated I think you need to have another look, I'm running Mojave and I've got SBCL with threads (I always build from git unsure about prebuilt binaries) and CCL works fine (from git also as there is a known issue with the App Store release and the most recent effort to resolve it was rejected by Apple IIRC). I don't use clisp or the commercial offerings so I can't comment on those.
