It also generates random events (based on rolling doubles when asking Yes/No) with a generic verb/noun table.<br /><br />I do feel that genre-specific random tables help supplement generic ones like Mythic, CRGE, or the Game Master's Apprentice (which is mostly what I use nowadays.)<br /><br />The best thing about Mythic is actually the framework and procedures for solo play, and the examples provided.Redwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10532917611648185870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7978585450395254487.post-433885588670059872020-11-09T08:35:55.025-07:002020-11-09T08:35:55.025-07:00And here's another (I haven't used this on...And here's another (I haven't used this one, either, but it's PWYW).<br />https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/145426/CRGE-Conjectural-Roleplaying-GM-EmulatorGundobadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14335443896772607081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7978585450395254487.post-65046668673061549242020-11-09T08:24:47.197-07:002020-11-09T08:24:47.197-07:00Over on the Solo Roleplaying subreddit, a reader p...Over on the Solo Roleplaying subreddit, a reader pointed out that Mythic GM Emulator could handle all this just fine. I should have mentioned Mythic here as well! However, although I don't have Mythic I have read up on it a bit. It seems to be the Microsoft or Starbucks of the Solo GM emulator world - and apparently with good reason. My sense, however, which I'd love to fact-check with any well-informed readers, is that Mythic is 1) quite generic in order to suit many genres, and 2) relies mostly on questions that will generate a Yes/No/And/But answer. The tools I'm using help me push a bit deeper into specific genre territory without relying on my own imagination alone. Anyway, there are many tools out there for this stuff!Gundobadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14335443896772607081noreply@blogger.com
