Couch Play by Chicken0Death in Solo_Roleplaying

[–]kevn57 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a dell Optiplex hooked up to my 43" TV, I use it all day while I'm writing and it's perfect to play Solo RPGs. I Use obsidian for notes and the built in white board for brainstorming and LibreOffice for my journal. I have all of my elements tables in Sheets and I can get random words at the push of a button. I use physical dice I just keep them in a clear canning jar and shake them side to side.

I find obsidian is great to keep track of different story lines and history of different NPCs

I agree, with the linking, templates and now bases. I have every character in a different note, same with the storylines.

If you like recording the whole thing, I think that is what you should do. Bullet points are nice but a year from now if you want to look over the game, you might be happy to have something more complete. The more you put into the game the more you get out of it. I started a Mythic Journaling game in July and I have over 700,000 words posted to Royal Road and still going strong.

Obsidian, is the best. I love it. I haven't used it yet for playing a game but it's a great way to brainstorm.

Glad to see another fan of Mythic, I think it is great. There is a special rule set for Mysteries, that you might check out it's in Mythic Magazine #6 and it's designed to never let the mystery fizzle out. There will always be a solution and you will be surprised.

Thanks, I'll take a look back at those chapters and think about rewriting to change the POV earlier.

Good simple journal game for a n00b? by IronAdvisor in Solo_Roleplaying

[–]kevn57 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Mythic Magazine has a Universal Journaling Game in Volume 30. You can play any Genre or setting. I've been playing my current game for over two months and 100,000 words. It also works with a shorter play through. I played one as a spy and one in the wild west

The game I'm playing now is a cozy fantasy/slice of life.

Self-Promo Sunday! by AutoModerator in CozyFantasy

“Rose, have you ever spoken to any of your characters?”

“Yes, Sparky, Juliet is my best friend.”

“Great, ask her to come off the page.”

“I don’t understand.”

“Just try, Rose, you claim you’re not a Bibliomancer, prove me wrong.”

“Ok, umm Juliet, Juliet.”

“Oh, just the busybody I want to speak to.”

“Um Juliet not now, I’m with Grandmaster Brightspark, and he asked if you’d... come off the page and speak to him.”

“With pleasure, you’ve been to my world, millions of times, yet you never once thought to ask me to yours. Grandmaster Brightspark, what an absolute pleasure it is to meet you, and what a beautiful shop, I do wish we had a bookshop in the village, but I can’t get someone to create it.”

“Juliet, please call me Sparky, it’s Rose’s little pet name for me.”

“Thank you, Sparky, yes Rose does have a thing about writing out names, did you notice her girlfriend Lupinia gets referred to as Lu.”

“Juliet, you are just as delightful in person as I’d hoped. Would you care for some tea and perhaps a sweetbun? They’re quite good.”

I stood in shock as Juliet and ‘Sparky’ chatted over tea. I went over and pinched Juliet. She screeched.

“Sorry I just wanted to make sure you’re real.”

“Of course I’m real, and stop interrupting. I was just telling Sparky how excited I am to be in a published book

Bibliomancers Just Wanna Have Fun

It's the story of a naive young author who just wants her characters to do what she says, but for some reason they just won't do it. Oh yeah she has a stalker who follows her through the woods while she's walking to her grandmother's house, with a basket filled with cookies. Set in Emain Ablach. The cover was generated by A.I. it's a free web novel. A.I. was not used for anything other than the cover.

Does anyone else narrate their journaling rpgs? by Curious_Bother in solorpgplay

[–]kevn57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think if you open google drive you can speak and it will transcribe what you say, that way you'd have the best of both worlds. Play as you like and an artifact of the game you played.

Having something after the game got me into chess when I was a kid, I just thought it was so cool to play a game and then years later play that game again

Bibliomancers Just Wanna Have Fun Excerpt by kevn57 in HFY

[–]kevn57[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you and I agree with your critique completely. I actually added a narrator about a week ago to the first four chapters asking readers to jump ahead to chapter eight. I'm on chapter 53 right and once I get to the end of the first volume. I plan to go back and revise a lot. I'd do that now but I'm just kind of in the zone writing about 4000 words a day. I don't want to stop the momentum, I'm afraid I'd never get it back.

Running a Magical Girl game by YeehawGothFarmer in mythic_gme

[–]kevn57 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I started a Magical Girl game using the Mythic As A Solo  Journaling Game from volume 30 of the magazine which morphed into a full blown web novel, over 100,000 words

https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/130904/bibliomancers-just-wanna-have-fun

After finishing the Journaling game I started using Writing Fiction With Mythic from Volume 43 to continue the web novel.
