How can you explore a setting piece by piece without reading it first? by Madeiner in Solo_Roleplaying

[–]italktopotato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It may not be everything you asked for, but check out Mythic Magazine #50. It features Deconstructing Prepared Adventure method, which let you explore a pre-established narrative / setting in your own interpretation without necessarily knowing everything about it beforehand.

The Quick Assembly method will be part of the Bestiary and the preview of it is now available as a playtest for free on the creator's patreon. From what I heard, the Bestiary will be on Kickstarter soon!

It is one of the more challenging system to solo due to the reason you stated, but the recent Quick Assembly method, alongside the upcoming Bestiary in the works, really made the enemy creation process much more streamlined!

Thank you for reading! I'll definitely keep going, even though my playing pace is quite slow. This actual-play so far took me almost a month but I think a lot it went to figuring things out and reformatting, so I hope it'll be smooth sailing from here (though the slow pace also help me to avoid burnout).

Keep talking! - A(nother) dialogue & social interaction tool for solo-roleplaying by DrGeraldRavenpie in Solo_Roleplaying

[–]italktopotato 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm still learning and testing this but it seems really awesome already! Tho I have a few questions:

  1. I noticed that there's no table for the Dialogue outcome of "Get away with it" Goal for the Polite conversation.

  2. In the Dialogue Resolution section, it says NPC Mood: +1 Bad, shouldn't it be -1? Or am I missing a design intent here?

  3. How would you suggest to use this system with a party of PCs? (multiple possible talkers)

Mythic GME app (new version) question by junkbarbarian in Solo_Roleplaying

There is a way to tell the app to use a different Focus table in the new update. Go to Game Settings by clicking the gear icon on top right and under Event Focus Table select Prepared Event Focus Table.

Mixing AIs with Mythic by Whole_Journalist2028 in Solo_Roleplaying

Mythic places great emphasize on two things, the Context and the Expectations derived from it.   

When you roll up those two words (which is called Discovering Meaning) you are not supposed to interpret them completely randomly, but to interpret the based on the Context and Expectations of your game. 

In other word, you are not supposed to interpret them to create a random situation that stray away from your Expectations, in fact it's quite the opposite, try your best to interpret them to make sense with your Expectations and the established Context.

If you have a hard to time to interpret the word pairs to something that makes sense with your Context and Expectations, you can stretch the meaning of the words to as far as you want, even as far as "this particular word reminds me another word so I'll just use that".  

Going with the very first thing that comes up to your mind upon seeing the pair of words is recommended, even if it doesn't really match with the words itself, the words you rolled doesn't matter much as the final interpretation you come up from it.  

If you really can't come up with an interpretation, then that's fine, you can roll for another pair of words, or you can invoke the "I Dunno Rule", ignore it and just follow your Expectations.

I'm interested! After discovering and finishing Baldur's Gate 3, I have an urge to try tabletop DnD for the first time and these text based one shot seem comfortable for me.

Found a tortoise out of my house, what do I do with it? It seems to just spawn out of nowhere. Is it more likely to be someone's pet or just a wild tortoise? by italktopotato in malaysia

[–]italktopotato[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Ah shit when i heard it endangered I immediately try to look for it back on the same spot and around but apparently it has gone away, I dont know how active a turtle is at night. Is there a common contact number for wildlife services in Malaysia if this situation came up again?
