>TQI like them abstract and simple. Whenever they happen they tend to be background events to the party anyways.
>>96465762>How do handle wars and mass battles in your solo games?I would probably do something similar that Bandit's Keep Actual Play does and use Chainmail for mass combat.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBmb1_vQPIcI haven't got the chance to have a large scale conflict yet.
imagine engaging in a social activity alonelolmaybe even lmao
I hate people and want to play by myself, leave me alone.
>>96467604you've literally been doing this for an entire year nigga
I wana get into solo games so I can have my elf autism without screens. I’m admittedly pretty retarded when it comes to mechanics and running combat encounters. >tried OSE and thought it was confusing but idr exactly why, It’s been a minute.>Tried using my hazbro hotel books and shit was exhausting to flip back and forth through, and the combat wasn’t satisfying. I don’t have the MM either and just used OSE MONSTERS which could have been part of the problem. >Tried mazerats for like a minute,but felt like a man with a rolling pin instead of Conan or whatever. The shield splintering thing is cool I guess. Chat gpt says I should get Scarlet Heroes. It sounds up my alley, and I recognize the cover from these threads but things are tight and I’m scared to commit to the 40 fucking dollars it costs. Any alternatives? Do I pull the trigger on SH anons?
Imagine playing this SOCIAL activity alone.lol. That's it, not even an lmao
>>96469206SH is worth it. Just grab it from the OSR trove, see if you like it, and buy it later.
>>96469206There are ways to get scarlet heros without paying 40$, and if you end up liking it then you can buy it, go ask the PDF share thread
Pretty new with solo rpgs, my first game was labyrinthus. Thinking of playing hunter the vigil solo. I really dig the whole wandering monster hunter vibe, modern-day witcher kind of thing. But I’ve heard the game leans more into investigation and mystery, and that the combat system’s pretty deadly and not all that exciting. From what I gather, fights usually come down to: figure out the weakness, prep like hell, and then either you stomp the monster or get stomped. Is that about right? I’m cool with that for big, dangerous stuff, but I also want to actually throw down with monsters sometimes. Scrappy, close-up fights that could go either way, not just surgical takedowns. Is that something the system supports, or would I need to hack it (or maybe look at a different game) to get that kind of action?
>>96468205He’s lonely.
>>96469926I have no idea but that sounds cool so i hope someone answers your question
>>96470266He should try playing a solo rpg
>>96469206You could try the absolute minimum of the Scarlet Heroes system - attacks damaging HD instead of HP - with OSE or Basic Fantasy. I used Basic Fantasy with that for a sort of Sword of Convallaria style game and it worked out alright
