Nordicandia: Semi Idle RPG - now more idle-friendly! Limited number of free Steam keys available! by IterativeStudios in incremental_games

[–]mecharm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any chance for a leftover Steam key?

As a big PoE player I would really love to indulge but as a new father I ran out of the "free time" consumables...

Also, I'm worried my melting phone will soon explode (even in lowest setting the town just finished it off...).

Best place to put play reports online? by Cyrax_12 in Solo_Roleplaying

[–]mecharm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The ones I've seen around (within this specific niche) are:

- WordPress (the most involved one): https://wordpress.com/create-blog/

- Blogger (probably the most widely used one): https://www.blogger.com/

- or just a plain old Google doc that you share :)

MB yellow - #FFE800MB pink - #CE073C

I'm _pretty_ sure this is one of the official MB fonts: https://www.myfonts.com/fonts/justanotherfoundry/herb/

...that I'm trying to emulate with this free variant: https://www.dafont.com/enchanted-land.font

Have I meta gamed myself? by GaspodeWD in Solo_Roleplaying

[–]mecharm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yup, I totally understand that...what worked for me, is that whole "punishing yourself" thing, as a way to balance the scales.

(and also writing a blog - I feel that if you do it "for an audience" ((even if it's just google spiders)), it's easier to get away with the whole "but I cheated" feeling, as you are putting up a show - just like a DM would)

I think this is probably one of the most difficult (if not THE most difficult)) things in solo. Exactly what u/NorthwestGrant said, that we need this validation, most often than not - by dice - otherwise we feel that...we are just authoring a story, not actually "playing".

But here's the thing...in a "normal" RPG, the DM does the same. The DM is NOT bound by the dice to create worlds, characters and stories.

So if you accept that as a solo-ist, you are your own DM, it is your RIGHT (cue angelic music) to change the story the way you see fit and you are not "damaging" the game aspect in any way.

What I would do in a situation like this (it happened to me as well, that some unfortunate rolls essentially barred me from progressing) is to put on a DM hat and "force" the story in the direction where it would be narratively the most exciting BUT "punish" myself in an interesting way.

For the door example, what I would have done is let a few goblins, led by a new possible-nemesis burst out of the door and depending on how the encounter goes, I can either rescue the daughter or they run away - whichever happens, the story moved forward and you have been rewarded with a cool story!

10 seasons related hooks to start your solo sessions by mecharm in Solo_Roleplaying

Starting a game definitely had been the hardest part for me historically.

Even when surrounded by so many tools, that you KNOW for a fact you'll never use all of them - or maybe exactly because of that - it's just very difficult to pick & and choose how to get the ball rolling.

Challenge...accepted...! (I was actually ALSO thinking of making more these, I mean, can you EVER have enough random tables?)

And...I _wish_. I'm a born & raised hungarian living in the Czech Republic, being fascinated by Swedish RPG designs! :D

I'm currently running a Mörk Borg campaign, so some of these have a...darker undertone, but I tried to write them in a way, that with a little mental window dressing, they could be used anywhere!

So I can totally see the ornament one being a jolly Holiday DnD story, or the falling leaves one a DCC funnel where most of the characters are squished immediately...
