    How Do You Like Your Steak?

    Medium Rare. I do like a nice pepper sauce or a mustard, but more than happy to have no sauce if the steaks are decent quality.

    So what's the deal with solo gaming?

    oh, i also 3d print and paint waaaaaay too many minis and he tiles and terrain, so solo gaming is great fun for using those on my tabletop using randomisers for dungeon layout or hescrawl biomes.

    So what's the deal with solo gaming?

    I am currently playtesting a simplified D&D stat block for PCs and run a dice driven oracle that’s very simple. I also use an enemy “AI”, basically a table to roll on that describes their actions along with a counter that measures their stress so they can act accordingly and flee etc etc. The...

    I think it is time for a break.

    Yeah, and that's a good plan! I have a plethora of random tables in hardcopy form behind me and the desire to change it up mid game is overwhelming sometimes. I do now try to limit myself before I even start, basically making a challenge from it, "I'll only use this one book", or "These three...

    I think it is time for a break.

    Yup, and I find having too many tables/oracle options can cause decision paralysis...

    I think it is time for a break.

    Played a bunch, wrote and published a bunch, moved interstate and had no RL games anymore so I bought and read a lot of rules, and got bored of it all... Now I play solo, I just experiment with rules as I play, nothing is set in stone, stuff comes in and out, it can be fun, but yeah, at the...

    D&D General Is Your DM Out to Get You? [Humor]

    My issue is that I solo RPG a LOT! And when I roll as the GM, well the rolls and moves the enemies do are particularly fantastic... however, on the PC side, it's dull and the rolls are naturally terrible! I'm out to get myself! hahaha ;)

    D&D General Oh Please give me some Happy Backgrounds!!

    I've had my fair share of anti-hero backgrounds, but these days when I solo rpg, I like to have my PC's have a relatively regular upbringing (a <insert class here>who grew up in a warm conclave but now needs to go out into the world as part of their training is pretty common for me) and I just...

    Which are you, The plan everything out GM, or the Ad lib?

    What if you're a planner (I love to plan) but then during the game you're too lazy to follow your own plans? Cos that's me... I get bored of my own plans hahaha

    What is/are your most recent TTRPG purchase(s)?

    Purchased a while ago, but my copies of Pathfinder for Savage Worlds Advanced Players Guide 1 and 2, and Bestiary 2 arrived yesterday. I haven't played P4SW at all, but they look nice on the shelf ;)

    What is/are your most recent TTRPG purchase(s)?

    I've just grabbed the next two card decks from Inkwell Ideas: Hexploration Decks. The first 5 decks were delivered successfully and are really nifty so grabbing the next two were a no-brainer for me. My attempts to limit my kickstarter pledging continues to go ignored hehehe
