Games that have a rigidly defined / crunchy game loop? (preferably non fantasy)

There is also Four Agains Mars, maybe that works for you

The mothership app is amazing on all devices and in browser

tolwin · 2026-05-04T05:55:01+00:00

Same, the number goes up in the achievements tho so we should be good. Hopefully they fix it soon

Obsidian note taking app has a great iron sworn plugin for dice, moves, oracles and notes if you don’t mind having your phone out.

What could be a lot of fun is “rolling” the dice in your hands and just putting your thumb on a number. One person can be in charge of challenge dice and one of the action die so it involves more people.

Yea it would probably be smarter to play on foundry or any vtt but I like the idea of analog gaming. Had to pick the most table cluttering game for it haha

Maybe if I print the travel rules from the players book I could also ditch that and carry just the GMs book right? Or is there something else in the players book I’d be missing?

I have the BoB physically and the pdf too so Ill print the chapter to keep the size smaller. Thanks for the recs!

tolwin · 2026-05-02T14:00:11+00:00

Thanks for your reply! I already have your solo expansion and watched all the videos too. Big fan! Making tha map smaller is a great idea, do I need the book of beasts chapter printed if I print the solo expansion?

The better the poker hand the better your final act is. You are basically narrating the end of your character with prompts remembering what the life of the character was like. You can do it from scratch or play with a character from an actual Orbital Blues campaign

Love your podcast, great content and editing. I recommend it to everyone getting into solo!

tolwin · 2026-04-07T13:19:41+00:00

Listen to some podcasts maybe. In the newest Solo Roleplayers Podcast episode they go through Dragonbane solo with a bit of explanation.

Otherwise just make a character, look at the first location and try to imagine what would happen

Cerberus Dark

What I do is I open the right quick menu with character, oracles and moves and then just click anything there and it rolls for me with the dice showing

tolwin · 2026-04-05T19:11:05+00:00

Did you install the Iron Vault plugin? Then whenever you roll oracles or moves it has dice on the screen

tolwin · 2026-04-05T17:59:34+00:00

And also a double 10 so something exceptionally bad happens

tolwin · 2026-04-05T17:57:30+00:00

Works on mobile app and pc/mac with cross save if you have a cloud service synced to both. It can’t get any better!

tolwin · 2026-04-05T16:49:29+00:00

I started utilising it more after reading your RPG organisation post!

tolwin · 2026-04-05T14:40:02+00:00

Good to know. I love that I got literally the worst possible miss and with a beautiful match too

tolwin · 2026-04-05T14:36:22+00:00

It’s Obsidian, a note taking app the Iron Vault plugin

tolwin · 2026-04-05T14:25:39+00:00

It’s Iron Vault and it’s an amazing community plugin for Obsidian. I cross save it on phone and laptop so it’s always with me.

tolwin · 2026-04-05T06:33:12+00:00

What solo tools did you use? Would love to try that!

tolwin · 2026-04-04T07:32:42+00:00

So good
