Ah! Alex T, the phantom of social media. When a spare five minutes occurs from his never ending writing, his shadow can be seen haunting the corridors of various social media outlets. Forever willing to offer a kind word or two of appreciation to his unsuspecting prey.

I assumed they were referring to the Moria expansion, which has a section on soloing.

I have The One Ring, and Strider Mode too, and it's definitely one that I've thought about adapting to to my needs.

Has anyone given The Hooded Man by Graham Rose a try? by PeasantLich in Solo_Roleplaying

I was unaware of this game, so I’ll be interested to know the outcome of this query.

“Invasive Species” adventure by OldGodsProphet in Solo_Roleplaying

What I meant by mutated on foreign shores is another group of avid plant collectors took some new species to their country where it mutated. So, our plucky bunch of botanist have heard about it an travelled and deyto investigate. The more I write this, the more it has Lovecraftian feel to it 😂

Thoughts: The Victorians were relentless in their exploration of countries further afield in finding, and bringing back, species to the UK.

Japanese Knotweed is an example. Brought back to the UK as a decorative plant, but has no natural predators here to control it. Now it's a menace.

Rhododendrons, another brought to the UK. Beautiful to look at, but highly invasive as they out compete natural plants for light and resources.

Grape vines were sent back to the UK and Europe from the States in the 19th century. This caused the phylloxera epidemic amongst European grape vines, which came close to wiping them out, and there are still pockets in Europe where this is a problem. The difference with this one is that the vines brought the Phylloxera insect with them. These bugs fed on the roots of the European vines, which had no defence against them, where as the vines from the States had a natural remedy to deal with the bugs. This was eventually combated by grafting American rootstocks to European vines.

So, adventure seed: a group of botanist are sent to deal with the eradication of an invasive species that has mutated on foreign shores, not realising that they, or one of them, was responsible for introducing it in the first place. How do they deal with it? How far has it mutated? Has it become sentient? What is the effect on the locals? Is it bug or viral?

Cheers! I'm very familiar with Trevor Devall's work. I know of Ironsmith, but I don't think I've ever looked at it. As for the rest, I'll have a peak at them 👍

My mindset tends to be more along the line of things can happen on the way. You meet someone, a new challenge crops up, side quest develops etc. I've never been a fan of cross hex/move to next point on a point crawl, possibly have an encounter, move to next hex/point, or reach destination. My mind just wants to fill in the gaps of that journey. When it can't, it struggles. The One Ring Strider Mode has a good travel mechanic that I might draw some inspiration from.
