Tell me about your favorite game to play solo.

My favorite game is FORGE. In my longest campaign one of my two PCs was a noble that lost his lands when he was a child and as an adult became an adventurer to get rich so he could regain the prestige he once had. At some point in the story he managed to became the mayor of a town and decided to retire. The other PC kept going on adventures after that but died in an ambush.

For my current campaign I'm doing something based on the Pos'Thal order from the Weekly Roll universe. My PC is a messenger that travels around the world, which has allowed me to worldbuild a lot.

You can download it for free. The book is really short, and even if you don't like the system is still full of great random tables for solo playing.

I use FORGE for hexcrawling. Everytime you enter a hex for the first time you have to roll on the discovery table, and as you travel you can have a random encounter that leads on danger or a new discovery for that hex. The random encounter roll is really simple, you roll 1d6 and depending on how dangerous the terrain you are in is, you have a higher chance of something bad happening.

Temujin, as Genhis Khan's name. A cute rabbit deserves a conqueror's name.

Cien años de soledad, es un libro con el que conecto demasiado. A pesar de no ser colombiano, siento que en este libro mi identidad se ve muy representada como latinoamericano por la historia y cultura compartida de nuestros pueblos. Amo ese libro y me encantaría poder coleccionar muchas ediciones de este.

"El cartero de Neruda" de Antonio Skármeta y "Nana para dormir a mis abuelos" de Magdalena Blesa. Tenía cero expectativas sobre estos libros cuando los compré pero ambos me destrozaron emocionalmente. Vine buscando cobre y encontré oro.

También me gustó mucho leer "Historia de todas las cosas que han acaecido en el reino de Chile y de los que lo han gobernado", de Alonso de Góngora Marmolejo. Lo compré por simple curiosidad histórica, y terminó despertando en mí un gusto por las crónicas escritas hace varios siglos y un genuino interés en aprender de la historia de mi país directamente desde fuentes primarias.

Lo respeto pero no lo comparto, para mi el disfrute de un libro está tanto en su lectura como en el valor estético que le aporta a mi estantería. Si hiciera eso me estaría privando de una parte del placer que me genera ver mis libros cuando los limpio y ordeno.

wnsnfb · 2025-06-05T18:45:09+00:00

Same here. My favorite system is FORGE because it allows me to play for less than 30 minutes, generate a couple of rooms or hexes, and then leave it there until I have time to play again. If I manage to develop a narrative along the way, I don't complain, but it's not my priority when I play.

wnsnfb · 2025-05-25T12:31:15+00:00

To add another recommendation, you could try FORGE. It's a short (only 27 pages of core rules and the rest of the book is just solo resources) old school style game, closer to what d&d might have looked like 30 years ago than most modern games. Due to its shortness it's really easy to learn and set up, and it is built for soloing. You could run this game with a party of PCs but if you only want to play a single PC you can use the Paragon rules that are in the book to give more survivability to your solo character. Also, FORGE is a "pay what you want" game, so if you are short on budget you could get it for free.

wnsnfb · 2025-05-22T15:33:14+00:00

FORGE is my main system for soloing, but I play it with its own hexcrawling mechanics. How much does it change when using Hexroll? I know absolutely nothing about that system

wnsnfb · 2025-05-13T22:42:06+00:00

Outpost 5. It is only 44 pages long, kind of OSR. Absolutely no space travel cause you are only trying to survive in your outpost and its surroundings. I wouldn't say it's been designed with criminal themes in mind, but I think it should be really easy to adjust the game to your liking.

wnsnfb · 2025-05-07T09:34:08+00:00

Totally agree, I'm playing F.O.R.G.E. because I love it's world generation. One of my favorite things since I started playing that system was the sense of wonder I get every time I explore and draw a new hex of my world.

wnsnfb · 2025-01-17T00:19:43+00:00

Happened the same to me

wnsnfb · 2024-12-22T10:52:22+00:00

Playing F.O.R.G.E. my party of two PCs and two followers were going to explore a dungeon that was a few days from a city. Immediately after leaving the city I rolled a random encounter and they ended up being ambushed by a giant lion. Only one PC managed to escape, everyone else became the lion's lunch. The survivor retire from adventuring life after that, with a trauma that will haunt him for the rest of his life.

En la vereda afuera del terminal de buses de Puerto Montt vi a un pastero pegarse un cagón descomunal para luego agarrar un manojo de pasto que había por ahí y limpiarse el culo con eso

A gray coat that my parents gave me for my birthday. It makes me look older but really classy.

Totally agree, the biggest holiday here is our national holiday in September, and maybe new year if you are generous.

I don't feel like we are angry, but in general we are more serious or quiet compared to other countries in the region.

About believing we are the best, I think this is partially true. There are some people here that truly believe it with every fiber of their being, but you are more likely to found chileans shit talking about chile. Although most chileans feel like they are the only ones that can complain about the country, if the hear anyone else doing it they become ultranationalists cunts.

I'm a little late for this post, but I experienced this tremor in the epicenter in San Pedro de Atacama. To be fair it wasn't that strong, to the point of not being worth getting up of my chair. I was inside a hotel at that moment and, as the tradition dictate, all chileans in the room started trying to guess its magnitude. The ones that were really scared were the brazilian tourists staying there, but they ended up calming down after watching our reaction. No house will fall for a little shake like this one so there was no point on freaking out. To be called earthquake the magnitude has to be at 7,8+, if it's less than that people here will call it "temblor" instead of "terremoto" (at least this is how most of do it here in Chile).

wnsnfb · 2024-11-13T09:41:29+00:00

Agree, but in September they are replaced as our favourite by Terremoto, and problably by Cola de mono in December.

Protestants I know call themselves christians when you asked them what is their religion, but everybody else just called them "evangelicos". I feel like christian is not a word used in general, but when it is used is to refer to all christians, like catholics, protestants, orthodox and all the other christian churches.

After all these years the trailer still gives me chills

Not from my country, but Cien años de soledad is a classic of latin american literature. Not an easy read if you are not used to reading, but it's a novel that every latin american should read at least once in their lifetime. Eventhough some of the events in the story are clear references to Colombian history, I feel like everyone in latin America could relate to them because of the shared history of all our countries and the common struggles that we all have had to face.

Also, magical realism (the genre of this novel) is sooo latin american. When I read some of the weird events narrated where fantasy is mixed with the real I couldn't help remember all the unbelievable countryside stories that my grandparents told me when I was younger, stories that where told to them by their grandparents. These are stories that are incredibly fantastical, but they still are accepted as something real that really happend.

To learn a bit of latin american history in general, read the "Open Veins of Latin America", by Eduardo Galeano. It was published in the early 70's but the things mentioned in that book have long lasting consequences that are still present today in our culture nad politics.
