It’s actually better than playing with friends and I’m sure you can agree it beats dating, going out, or even most other forms of socializing. I often bring games to work instead of eating lunch with coworkers for this very reason. We’re not even halfway through the year and I’ve already completed 6 full campaigns by myself. Can you say the same?Tell me about your experiences with sologaming and any hacks you may have for playing 5E hardbacks alone.
>Sologaming isn’t pathetic and lonelyNo, it is.
>>98104473>>98104503It's a great way of learning a new system and doing some lore.
>>98104473you ran out of subjects to farm content with, huh?
I've seen fighter jet canopies less transparent than this attempt to stoke outrage.
>>98104513>doing some loreI’m sorry what?>>98104514>>98104557Retard alert. Please leave if you don’t contribute to the discussion
Explain then how you handle romance and sex in your games?
>>98104473Sologaming indeed isn't pathetic and lonely.Bragging about it on /tg/, though...
>>98104695Doing that with another person is 100x more cringe than any amount of solo gaming.
>>98104473Announcing unprompted that you aren't pathetic and lonely does not bode well.
>>98104473It's pathetic because if you were any good you'd be writing a novel instead.
>>98104852>doing that >thatOh you mean romance and sex? Did you have stunted development as an adolescent or something?
>>98104978It’s normal not to have teenage romance, why are you harping on that? Sologaming solves the issues anyways Will someone please post their solo guide to storm kings thunder (WotC 5E) I’m dying to play that one
>>98104503
>>98105084That’s solo video gaming which is entirely different (but equally sad)It’s still a good comparison to 5E and pathfinder fags though, I’d rather play vidya than socialize with either of those two braindead crowds
>>98104473Piss backwards, cockfacet. Solo player
There should be a rule that says that only OP can post in sologame threads
So are these type of mfers just homeschooled or did they actively get thrown out of every single gaming group and community in their areas?
>>98105232no, we simply got tired of your types dragging down the session by waiting with your mouth open for the DM to spoonfeed you literally everything
>>98105232Not a sologamer, but I didn't end up finding a tabletop group until college. I wasn't a terribly social highschooler.
>>98105241so do you work as a cleaner at a tattoo parlor and because they don’t want you anywhere near the customers you film yourself in the backroom reading rpg books?
>>98105241niqqa you literally spoon feed yourself when you’re like >I open the door, me, what do I see?>good question, me. I see a goblin in the room, what do I do?>I attack it, what happens?>I win!I don’t think it’s possible to get any cringier than that. I don’t say this often, but I really do think you should just kys at this point if this is how you’re living
>>98105517I don't blame you for thinking every game is DnD, but you really should try playing something else one of these days
>>98105559>all of a sudden wants to argue about dnd that no one brought up Please stay contained in your faggot solo game
>>98104473Less sad than going on /tg/ to bitch about made up problems.
>>98104473What is this sudden agenda against this random guy? Why is there so much anger? Do you know each other? Is it an elaborate attempt at bullying? Some sort of outrage advertisement?The fuck is going on?
Love me my Juice oracle
>>98104978Do you understand how english works?
>>98104473>It’s actually better than playing with friendsyeah, if you're pathetic and lonely.>I’m sure you can agree it beats dating, going out, or even most other forms of socializingNah, I'm not a pathetic, lonely misanthrope so I enjoy spending time with my friends. I know you don't have any because you're an insufferable gigafaggot, but that's just what you get for trying to participate in a social hobby with no friends.>I often bring games to work instead of eating lunch with coworkers for this very reasonThat's extremely pathetic and you probably won't have that job very long.>We’re not even halfway through the year and I’ve already completed 6 full campaigns by myself.Yeah, because they're not real campaigns and you're cheating the entire time lol. Besides, that just says the campaigns you claim to have finished are nothingburgers. You've taken the RP out of RPG and have turned it into nothing more than a random number generator that an AI could finish in seconds.>Can you say the same?I can say that I know for a fact my life is more fulfilling because of my friends and that you have never once had anything close to the experiences I've had at my tables with my friends.>Tell me about your experiences with sologaming and any hacks you may have for playing 5E hardbacks alone.Solo gamers are people who have been so insufferable, so miserable, that they've been booted from e very table they tried to join and don't have any friends due to being some of the worst human beings in the world. They are misanthropes who are incapable of forming a basic human connection with others, and are usually terminally online gigafaggots who think twitter is an accurate representation of the real world, so they have to "play" alone, except they miss the point of TTRPGs by doing so, the social aspect, and also miss all the actually fun bits, because without a party, without a proper GM, a TTRPG is literally just a game of craps. Nothing matters. No stakes.
>>98104978He alleges to play solo games and hates other people, what do you think? OP is a pathetic loser who got bullied in high school, became terminally online, and thinks that things like "social interaction" and "having friends" is cringe and bluepilled and he probably thinks that friendship and basic human socialization is a jewish SJW plot to make him into a soi-chugging bluepilled beta cuck or some retardation of the like.
>>98105742that sure is a lot of words im not going to read
>>98105722See >>98105742Fag in op pic related is the logical conclusion of a life poorly lived
>>981057224chongs has been a bot hellscape for over six years now. Some brit fag made a video bragging about training an AI to just spam every board with borderline nonsense made from regurgitated scraped data and leaves it running 24/7 as a 'social experiment.' Because funding a mini server farm running all day every day for the last half a decade is something you just casually do for youtube content on your 2k follower channel I guess. Surely there are no shady activist organizations footing the electricity bill for him.
>>98105806That’s literally monsters and mazes a YouTube channel feggot and that is his literal shitass view on sologames. You don’t need bots to explain every moron
>>98105815Calm the fuck down sperg. What part of it just regurgitates stuff its seen before do you not understand? Its so inbred in its training at this point it just takes what it sees and repackages it in the same omnipresent baitpost format on every single board.
>>98104473>>98104503what's the point of solo gaming if you can just put 10 dollars in Deepchink or OpenRouter, fire up Sillytavern and tell the LLM to pretent to be a little girl with magic powers.If you want to delude yourself and increase your schizophrenia, at least use technology specially made for that task.
>>98104473It doesn't beat dating, when the person you're with actually enjoys your company.If I was good enough to have a loving partner, I wouldn't need half my hobbies; they're just a distraction from how much of a fucking loser I am.But that's what I get for being born trash.
>>98104667i think what anon means by "doing some lore" is that he's running a mock game by himself to make sure there aren't any serious holes in his world building before he involves his actual group
>>98104473Imagine getting dunked on hard in the other thread that you had to make another.
>>98105882Eh, few of us were truly born trash.But it's harder to admit that we allow ourselves to become trash of our own volition.
When I was 14 I wrote some novels where every time there was a battle I would roll it out in DND 3.5 so that even I would be surprised by the outcome. The result was a complete disaster of a plot, but did I at least somewhat approach what a solo RPG would be like?I've never used a GM emulator, how do they work?
>>98105945Fine, you explain to me what’s “pathetic” about it to me. I’ll wait.
>>98105850>see thread on internet >feel personally called out >claim it must be botsDamn dude where are you buying your copium?
>>98105084It do be like that
>>98105975Long and short is you ask a question, pick how likely something is and it'll give you an answer, usually with a bit of a twist.>Are there guards in the Sultans Palace? (Likely) - NoQuestion then is why aren't there>Because they've been distracted? (Likely) - Yes>By who, Assassins or Thieves (50/50) - ThievesSuddenly you know your being there is a bit more complicated and there's a 3rd party involved, the guards are likely to be in arrest or kill on sight mode, ect.
>>98106475That is almost as sad as just thinking of it yourself. I dunno, hard to tell which is more pathetic
I like playing solo board/card games.Imperium : HorizonsSpirit Islandand Sprawlopolis giving me nice brain burning puzzle optimization fixes.
>>98106630I think we’re talking more like rpgs here, games where you’re supposed to be playing with friends. Video games obviously are also normal solo play games, so there’s no use trying to compare video gamers to disgusting social pariah faggotrons trying to play pencil and paper rpgs by themselves
>>98104473Wonder what his tits look like
>>98105098>That’s solo video gamingNo. It's referring to solo tabletop gaming, using digital means of running your game. (I know because I made the meme years ago.)
>>98106913well your shitty meme missed the mark so I hope you have spent these last years polishing your craft or knob
>>98105753>Claims to be able to play Solo RPGs>Incapable of reading a post on 4chanGood job faggot, you outed yourself as a lonely, pathetic, illiterate retard.
Apparently, games only matter if other people are involved. They act as authenticators of play and thus decides if you're doing it right or wrong..
>>98107109You'd think there's an entire cult of mentally ill people who have infested the hobby and can only exist by seeking external validation or else they kill themselves
>>98104473I wish I had the mindset and patience to solo game. Sounds like a really fun way to engage with these systems and maybe even play some of those per-written modules.
>>98105307I grew up in the boonies in a time where just being seen with nerd merch was enough to get punched. Plus side I figured out young I could fight. Downside, I never did get to play lots of games with people. When I got to college I had become less awkward and when I tried to do tabletop... yeaaaah, I didn't wanna be seen with those guys.
>>98105084Honestly a perfect argument for solo-gaming.People today are so non-committal it's unreal.Plus most of the tabletop community is full of insufferable libshits. I wanna do my cool Confederate Vampire concept in VtM and I don't feel like getting the, "erm, that's problematic," lecture.
>>98105722Companies and their shills only want to target customers that are part of a large player group. They don't want a single person buying just one copy of their rulebooks because that is bad for profits. They instead want a customer to buy a set and then talk about it to their friends, encouraging them all to buy a copy each as well so they can play together.Also, narcassists (a majoritiy of players and 4/chan losers) find the idea of someone enjoying themselves on their own and not paying attention to THEM or their choices absolutely horrifying.Hence the anger.
>>98108040...why would you need more than one handbook for a group, anyway?The person who's GMing keeps the handbook, and the rest just use the character creation parts, which are usually free online.
>>98107755Thank you for siloing yourself off from society, we thank you for it.
>>98105084I don't know why I can look at a computer screen whole playing a game and not feel alone but do the same thing with dice and a deck and suddenly it becomes maddeningly aware of how lonely it feels. Is it the physicality of things? Is that creating a tangible connection to the fact that no one else is around?
>>98105722... Honestly, I think you're right. OP looked a bit provocative in a "tempting fate" kind of way and - by /tg/ standards - it felt intuitive to respond accordingly, but thinking back on it I... Don't have any particular reasons to troll him outside of that.I mean, a bit of edge is fine and all but I'd rather see this thread actually have stories to tell than just be yet another shitfest where we all show how little we have to say about games anymore.Thanks for calling us out on our shit, anon.
>>98108061And I'd like to play a character concept with someone who isn't going to lose their shit because they're more afraid of a Woke mob beyond the table than they are of being shitty, pedantic writers and uncreative people.So I guess the feeling is mutual.
>>98108087It might be that the people you are playing with are unrelatable and unlikable. Not everything is an indictment of yourself as a person, anon. It's god to be introspective and ask>Am I the problem?But the answer to that question isn't always>"Yes."
>>98104473I decided sologaming was too pathetic, so now I just approach people and start describing where their character is like I'm a broken robot trained on Zork.
>You only do it because no one will play with y-As a foreverDM it's nice to play for once and I've picked up some tricks from solo'ing I wouldn't have in my toolkit otherwise. You'd be shocked how well oracles work for group games.>It's Pathet-And your desperate need for external validation isn't? Are you afraid to be alone with yourself because you might just find you're insufferable?>No, you have to play mutli-player, single-player games are haramKeep telling yourself that's your problem with the idea.
>>98108087Partly just expectation. Eating fast food alone? Normal. Eating at a nice restaurant alone? Weird. Watching TV alone? Normal. Going to the cinema alone? Weird.But also screens and especially video games are good at holding your attention away from other shit, including self-reflection. Same reason it's common to spend hours doom-scrolling but not sit for twenty minutes with a novel.
>>98108743>Partly just expectation. Eating fast food alone? Normal. Eating at a nice restaurant alone? Weird. Watching TV alone? Normal. Going to the cinema alone? Weird.Well then the question becomes "Are you doing these things because you truly enjoy them or are you doing them because you want other people to see you enjoying them", doesn't it?As someone that likes both good food and good cinema, I would go to a fancy restaurant alone just to try it, and I would go see a movie alone just to enjoy it.That's not weird, I'm doing these things for the pleasure of the thing itself, not so I can be seen doing them.
>>98108778>That's not weirdIt's generally considered odd. Which may in itself be weird, particularly for seeing a movie where you're expected to sit quietly in the dark rather than anyone you came with anyway. Social rules and expectations don't have to make sense.
>>98108802It's considered odd by the pallid and passionless of the world. The idea of being truly enthusiastic about something is alien to them and I don't and would never want to live my life to their expectations.At the end of the day, you, rando anon, need to be able to be true to yourself. If you cheat the man in the glass then you're not winning at life no matter the accolades you get from others.That fucker'll get you when you least expect it.To bring it to a good example; Quentin Tarantino.I do not like Quentin Tarantino, but I respect him, because Quentin Tarantino loves movies.Not for the accolades.Not for the money.He truly, whole heartedly, seems to adore movies, to the point where he'll shit all over something if it's badly made. If Tarantino had never made it Big and he was a wash out living in a trailer park somewhere? He'd go hungry before selling his cameras, even if he was stuck making low grade exploitation schlock for nickles rather than high grade exploitation schlock for millions.Compare this with youtube-meme man, Chris Stuckman.Here is a man who doesn't love movies, despite it being his career.Stuckman loves the idea of being a movie-producer, of the influence, the prestige, of playing grab ass with the rich and famous, to the point where he won't even critique a dogwater movie any more for fear of it damaging his chances to be in with the in crowd.If Tarantino had to dance alone? He would dance all the same.Stuckman wouldn't.Do shit for the love of the game my dude.
>>98108884>It's considered odd by the pallid and passionless of the worldWhy do you think I was making any other point than this?
>>98105751take your meds
>>98104473>It’s actually better than playing with friendsNo it's not.It is leagues better than those same friends making a snap decision to stay in and play video games or watch netflix without bothering to tell you, though. There used to be a time when flaky players came up with excuses for this sort of thing, now I just get told "I couldn't be bothered" and my policy of not inviting people who do this to future games has come full circle.>Tell me about your experiences with sologamingI played a BECMI game with just a cleric and as many hirelings as he could afford. I did a couple of low-level modules and it was pretty rough going. I gave a -100XP penalty every time he died, then reset combat. He got about half the XP from the first adventure because it wasn't designed for a party comprised of a level one cleric and two peasant hirelings (who both died in the first fight).
>>98104473>>98104503Playing videogame alone>NormalPlaying tabletop game alone>Pathetic and lonelyWhy the double standard?
>>98110054>Playing videogame alone>normalpick onenormies play games online with other people.
>>98110113Delusional.
>>98108616>As a foreverDM it's nice to play for once and I've picked up some tricks from solo'ing I wouldn't have in my toolkit otherwise. You'd be shocked how well oracles work for group games.They don't, and you aren't a GM. You don't even have a group.>And your desperate need for external validation isn't? If that's what you're getting out of this, you're even more retarded than I thought. I'm not a pathetic loser who can't keep a group of friends for shit because his personality is so rotten he might as well be subhuman filth.>Are you afraid to be alone with yourself because you might just find you're insufferable?If I was insufferable I wouldn't have friends, retard. Your first year psych student bullshit doesn't work here.>Keep telling yourself that's your problem with the idea.The problem with the idea is that TTRPGs are, inherently, by design, social games. Removing that element leads to removing all of the RP elements of an RPG. You are no longer roleplaying. You are just rolling dice on tables and against TNs with no greater context. You might as well be playing craps, because at least then you'd be gaining something out of it instead of wasting your time doing something anyone can do on their own without your shitty tables.
>Itt: a bunch of misanthropes exiled by society for being the worst people imaginable cope with the fact they're slowly going insane from lack of true social connectionHumans are social creatures. To deny that is to deny your humanity, which means you can be safely killed off without any guilt or hesitation because you're just mindless animals.
>98110613>Being this mad about people doing solo in their spare timeHere we see the normie in his natural habitat, having a tantrum about people that don't worship the herd like a great, blind, bleating god.
>>98110620>t. Blue button pusher
>>98110620Nice projection, schizoid.

Roleplaying is creating a character and having that character interact with a setting according to the traits of that character as defined and mediated by the mechanics of the game.You're not a roleplayer, you're an amateur dramatist who's so shit at it you know any actual audience would laugh at you and pelt you with trash.
>>98108204That's what I'm saying!People don't like nazis, and don't like playing with nazis who think the cutting edge of creativity is saying the word nigger.Thank you for saving us the time of kicking you out.
>>98110832Post anything at all from the campaign you're running as a forever gm right nowI bet you won't because it doesn't exist
>>98111094No problem, pic related are the two ship floorplans from my ongoing Traveller campaign I'm running for my group, as well as the shipping manifesto.Go on, do what we all know you're going to do. Act retarded, double down and start going "Clearly that's not a real ongoing game."But remember Lil Timmy, it is possible to OD when huffing Copium.
>>98105975>but did I at least somewhat approach what a solo RPG would be like?Yeah pretty much. GM emulators give a little more structure to your storytelling by making the details and outcomes of that random too.Some people write novels or bullet points for the plot or through-line.The classic way of doing it is just to do shorthand and barely RP anything outside of the core roles a game expects of you.Anyway, weird thread lol
Oh and since you've decided to suddenly go quiet, when you do reply, you can repeat the following>You're right, I am a faggy, pretentious, performative theatre kid who plays for external validation rather than because I'm a roleplayer who enjoys roleplaying. I apologize for speaking in such a tone to my superiors.Just so we know you've learned and grown as a person from all of this:)
>Bails the second he gets called on his bullshitPathetic.
>>98106630>Came here to say this>>98106650>Realized thisBoardchads win again
Playing a solo rpg is like crying while you masturbate
>>98106650I think the core of your ridiculous misapprehension about Solo RPGs, and the same goes for most of the other spergs who rage about solo games, is that you think solo players are attempting to recreate a full table group experience by themselves. As in, they are attempting to have the entire party of friends all playing off each other, declating what their characters are doing while also playing the GM and deliberating on what the players are allowed to do and unfolding a pre-planned plot before them.That's not what Solo RPG play is like at all. It's a fundamentally different activity, because it wouldn't work otherwise and no one would even bother attempting to pretend play a game as multiple players and the GM at the same time.
>>98112824>it wouldn’t work otherwise Exactly. It doesn’t work. Thank you.
>>98111237That's weird, usually the /SRPGG/ resident schizo isn't nearly as aggressive and is just ritualposting>>98112790feels good right?
>>98112830Because that's not what they're doing. Follow along now, boy. You're embarrassing yourself.
>>98113025Solo rpgs is what video games are for.Playing a pencil and paper rpg alone is for cowards who can’t bring themselves to kys
>>98113039Vidya and Solo RPG are not even remotely comparable. You have actually researched what it actually is, haven't you? You're not being an outraged faggot over something you were too lazy to even the google AI summary on, are you?
>>98113070Vidya is literally solo rpg, it’s over
>>98107749I grew up in the sticks but that was in Finland so I actually found other nerdfags and we're friends to this day
>>98111237Okay fair, I see the foundry VTT, I believe you
>>98108884
>>98110620I have no problem socializing. But you must be incredibly insulated and asocial yourself or at least sheltered if you don't recognize how many people are straight-up so buckbroken by atomization that they themselves can't reciprocate normal social behavior.They have no real concept of loyalty, no actual concept of committment, the give-and-take of normal societies or when it's morally right to defer your own satisfaction for the sake of someone else.I like hanging out. Everyone likes friends. The trick is how many of them are worth having for friends.So I spend my time alone, unhindered, older and wiser and able to smell bullshit on someone before I get too far invested.
>>98111078>making sweeping statements about my creative capacity when they haven't read one line of anything I've written>assuming I'm a nazi because I used a funny lil' chud hortler shrug reacc>assuming the character in question I am writing who'd be almost 200 years old by the current year and interfaced with a far broader world of the supernatural honestly still gives a shit about which skin-color of of mortals can vote in mortal governments he influences anyway>implying any meaningful ideological mutual ground between a mid-19th century republican planter aristocracy and a militant centralized authoritarian state on the other side of the planet, totally bypassing the historical fact that the descendants of the former who believed their ancestors were great men and heroes enthusiastically went to war with the latter while thinking they were carrying on their martial legacy>thinking I'd be anything beyond disappointed for a while in not having a game to play or that this is my only VTM character and I don't know how to roll up a new fucking characterSee? You get it. I'd rather be alone than deal with retards like you. Enjoy your hugbox.With AI getting more advanced and LLMs you can buy and put on your own machine, I can literally get a table of 5 any time I want in the meantime. Meanwhile I get a better grasp and understanding of mechanics, setting and new creative ideas while my own get sharper.Enjoy yourself. All people like me ever asked was you didn't kick in the door of our game and take a shit on the table. But people like you never can learn to do that. So we'll see how things go after we're all gone or you have backed us into a corner and your smug ass actually thinks you're about to win.Just remember calling every White guy a Nazi for 20 years for having totally reasonable opinions about certain topics when they had far less racial consciousness than they do now is the reason gas is $5/g and we're going to be forced into food rationing in a year.
>>98113180Apparently the Baltic area is like Nerdvana. I've discovered that over time. In the States any sort of Nerd culture wasn't socially acceptable anywhere until about 10-12 years ago. Even then as soon as it became socially acceptable normies hopped in and started ruining it, too many people were happy other people thought our hobby was cool so we didn't want to kick them out again, then Corpos came in and ruined everything with commoditization.Nerd culture was a lot cooler when it felt like a secret society you were a part of, honestly. You'd have some article of clothing or be reading a book and somebody would come up to you and make a reference and then you'd realize this guy knows ball and you could geek out for a minute, exchange contact info and make a friend to sperg with.
>>98113751>Calling a duck a duck is what is causing global instability Yes you should cut off your nose next, that will really spite us!
>>98113828>total inability at self-criticism and analysisEnjoy the future you've chosen. Just remember for normal educated people you're as loathed as the made-up archetype you've created. Which there are more of now that you pushed people.
> hey gang it's (usual game day of the week ) soon. Are we having a session?>Too bad If you actually like gming, rolling dice, moving dudes on a map and writing stories for characters you will probably play solo every now and then once you reach 30 something. I gmed a campaign for years with people I actually know and respect but I wouldn't run anything but a 1-3 session one-shot anymore these days because getting schedules aligned is just soul crushing.If I have time at hand I bring my solo adventure journal out, my narrative dice and character sheet and start writing down the adventures of space captain Chad on his way to get hot space babes on his ship. I believe this to be the case for quite a number of gamemasters and the constant whining about solo play is solely caused by players who fear the possibility of a gamemasters abandoning them.
>>98113894Yes yes I'm sure you're simply a centrist who was ""asking questions"" before you got maligned by da wokie left, I've heard it beforeI'm not taking requests for self-critique from someone having a flowchart brain from 2017. Enjoy your plantation simulator with your Janitor AI confederate-era vampire waifu bot, I'm sure you both will have compelling philosophical discussions.
>>98110113You’re right bro. Skyrim and Fallout 4 were games for the hardcore hobbyists.
>>98113977I didn't need your approval anyway, but I appreciate the encouragement! Always good to end on a positive note. Best of luck to you in your own games and stories, Anon!
>>98113997That's what I've been trying to tell you from the start- thank you for staying away with games with normal people. It's saved countless restarted campaigns and second group chats being made. Good luck to you too!
>>98114021I don't think you know any normal people, buddy.
>>98114039I'm not the one in the thread crying that I can't play a slavery enthusiast vampire in a game with other people, sweetie.
>>98114048>slavery enthusiastHow do you think Vampires look at their source of food, exactly?
>>98114086Buddy, I'm summarizing your position. That you're weird and people don't wanna play with you and you have to roll dice by yourself with an LLM. I'm not gonna play VtM with you, you don't have to try to justify it to me.
Can you faggots please get a room or something?
>>98114126I never said I don't play games. I think you're officially projecting. I asked a simple speculative question since it seems you wanted to discuss the topic.Matter of fact, why am I even dignifying this? Do you think I have to endorse the full opinions and actions of everyone that I write - do you? Does your worldview demand that? What a horrible existence.People like you are just as brainwashed and intolerable as the people you hate.
>>98108743>but not sit for twenty minutes with a novel.I can sit with a novel for a far longer time than that. Reading a book for a long time is a very normal thing to do. The internet has broken you. Read more books.
>>98114208>Erm actually I have plenty of friends they just go to a different school>My rants about libshits and lefties are just incidental to the topicYeah okay man don't keep your ai waifu waiting. I thought you were done with the conversation a couple of posts ago.
>>98114263>ah yes i will definitely self-doxx to prove some retard wrong on a /tg/ threadFor real bro, get it together.
>Nuuuu, you play solo because you're hekkin' chuds, how dare you play characters that I would whine if you played at the tableMy current solo game is something close to Starcraft,One of the games I recently ran at my table was pulpy exploitation game about the buddy cop duo of Johnny 'Big John' Cotton and Moshe 'The Yid' Sternowitski fighting a conspiracy that went to the highest levels of local government.The game ended with them getting in a tank battle against both the Black Panthers and the Klan, who had, completely independent of each other, seen an opportunity to raid a local national guard armoury and start the race war.They had to break a Confederate LARPer out of jail along the way because neither of them knew how to drive a tank.It ended with a fist fight atop a tank.You got mechanical bonuses for dropping slurs.Just because you're a god-awful, petty little tyrant, to the point where you've created an internal list of proscribed and haram concepts and forged tiny little chains for your own Fabergé heart doesn't mean everyone is like you.Some of us are capable of having bad-wrong fun without it being some sort of proclamation about the texture of our souls.
>>98114345Sure buddy.
>>98105806>>98105850I want to call you a schizo but worryingly there is a visible pattern here that backs what your saying.
>>98104473The only reasons to play solo are either >>98104513 or to play out other events/happening in the campaign which will affect the player group later (like, playing out another group of adventurers going in the dungeon before the PCs, see what happens and change the environment for later).Personally, I see no point in play solo rpg games other than those two situations.>>98105871>what's the point of solo gaming if you can just put 10 dollars in Deepchink or OpenRouter, fire up Sillytavern and tell the LLM to pretent to be a little girl with magic powers.Because, unfortunately, playing actual ruleset like CP2020 and CoC correctly is still not possible with current LLM technology and platform.The moment it does, though, they will become like interactive gamebooks.
>>98114570>The moment it does, though, they will become like interactive gamebooks.Well, unless you want anything interesting to happen in your game that is. They're not smart enough to be creative in any way that's actually compelling.Maybe they will be one day.But not yet.
>>98114587>Well, unless you want anything interesting to happen in your game that is. They're not smart enough to be creative in any way that's actually compelling.I think you could "port" an already published adventure in a lorebook and play it out, still.I mean, "those" are the events that are going to happen anyway, so it could work.But, an original, good, interesting adventure, or even a campaign... yeah, no way.
Op here. You guys are making solorpging look bad, it goes against why I started this thread in the first place. Is there a way to remove comments i don’t like and upvote (don’t know if I have to unlock that feature) the ones that i do like?
>>98104473>We’re not even halfway through the year and I’ve already completed 6 full campaigns by myself.Autistic/Reddit-brained desire to binge things. You should be savoring things you like over time. >I’m sure you can agree it beats dating, going out, or even most other forms of socializing.Just in case you're not trolling, doing stuff alone because you don't like how unpredictable other humans can be will give you dopamine but really fuck you up in the long run. Having friends is worth the risk of going to a restaurant or playing a game you don't like once in awhile in the same way that it's great to have a girlfriend/wife even if though there's going to unpleasant moments, risk of breakup, etc.
>>98114838That's fucked up, man.I like going to the movies alone because I love the artform and I can see the odd shit that my normie friends don't like. What do you mean it's gonna fuck me up?
>>98114303You're a redditor
>>98113767>there weren't game or card stores until 10-12 years agoKiddo don't confuse growing up and seeing the world around you with it having come in to existence at all. You are the cancer you're talking about if you think it wasn't 'socially acceptable'
>>98104473It depends on the game. Thats like a videogame is a sologame too but when you play a coop or P2P game than you need friends.
>>98114941Solo tabletop seems legit to me but enjoying movie theaters alone is genuinely eccentric and possibly dangerous. What are you going to do about the packs of feral 'youths' that haunt them like ghouls without the numbers to scare them off? If it was bad when I was younger it must be a complete circus now with entirely new strains of marauding mutant mystery meats from all four corners of this gay earth.
>>98114941It won't, he's just being a reactionary Karen.
>>98114693Yeah you click on the triangle icon > report post > this post violates a rule > posting dubs/post numbers GET (that's what we call posts that we personally take offense to).

>>98114587>>98114594it gets better each day, and I think you should read a little how to properly set up cards and lorebooks. Grabbing random shit from chub.ai, it's ok for starters but in the long run, you must do your own cards.
>>98115849>I think you should read a little how to properly set up cards and lorebooks. Grabbing random shit from chub.ai, it's ok for starters but in the long run, you must do your own cards.Look, until I can run a CoC, CP2020, Exalted, or D&D coherent campaign by the books. completely through SillyTavern/Marinara/whatever, AI is not the solution... yet.>it gets better each dayI know, but with the hardware becoming even more expensive, it will take years for what I have in mind.
>>98115904Each year new models bring new features but yeah, it takes time but so far, you can get some good shit depending on what you input the LLM. Now, maybe rulebooks are not necessary if you need to give some type of randomization and luck, just make the AI to handle that, without the need of dice and strict rules, you can focus on prose and events.But if you want crunchy, rules heavy games...well yeah, maybe not yet there.
