How Does A Solo Session Play

Rate this Entry
If you prefer to read an Example of Gameplay, check "First Solo Scene."

Meanwhile, you can watch a Video Example by "Me, Myself and Die" to see it in action. Just from 2:48 to 11:16 is enough to get the idea.
The rest is combat rolls and more story and it starts at 13:17 if you want to watch it.

NOTE: You don't have to voice-act your characters as in the video. You don't even have to use miniatures and maps! I'll elaborate later in "Modes of Play" and "Roleplay Styles" entries. And there are tricks for tweaking Combat. Also, you don't have to randomly determine your PC, you can create it and write a BackGround Story to your heart's content. Virtual Table Top software can automatize all he does ingame, within seconds.

Video Demonstrates:

  • Minimal Preparation.
  • Short backstory that leads to a quest hook.
  • Usage of MYTHIC GameMaster Emulator, the Oracle that started Solo Playing with Freeform Association and Interpretation for content creation on-the-fly.
  • Setting the first scene rapidly with little content.
  • Focusing only the essentials: He K.I.S.Sed IT!
  • Using dice rolls to create surprise and excitement.
  • Leaving enough gaps in the story to discover them later in the session.
  • And excellent flow of scenes with minimal setup.

    As usual, I forgot to add the link for First Solo Scene. :')
    Also, you don't have to randomly determine your PC, you can create it and write a bg story to your hearts content.
