Where can I got this book? Any chance of publishing on kindle?

The solo game masters guide.

Currently it is only available as a pdf from Modiphius or drivethru. Physical books are being reprinted but I don’t have a date for that.

Thanks so much and that's great to hear.

Thanks. It's a central tenet of my approach!

Sounds like you have a great combination of materials there. I use Pathfinder in many ways as just GM resources/character inspiration--such as giving Four Against Darkness characters traits and spells, for example. For the actual rules and mechanics, things like you are using (Carin, Micro Chapbook) work really well for the type of solo play that I do.

As I mention in this vid, I strip the rules down to super basics and rely on the wealth of descriptive material that’s there. If I were to try to remember and use all the rules it would not work for me!

Totally get what you are saying about Pathfinder which is why I use the material mostly for gaming inspiration and will majorly strip down the rules. I'm using it now, for example, to form the basis of some Four Against Darkness characters, stealing some of the Pathfinder traits and spells, for example.

There are quite prominent statements in most rule sets, Pathfinder for sure, that say some version of “use these rules as you wish.” Gygax was perhaps the first to say it, and say it he did. So… I understand the hang up but using rules by bending them in RPG IS playing by the rules!

Even in party play around a table, GM's will fudge rolls all the time. All GM's will admit they do it, but if they told you you succeeded a roll and they *wanted* you to succeed, there's a good chance you didn't actually pass the DC but they told you you did. Because they're the GM. Point being: all RPG gameplay involves "cheating". With solo, you're the only player. So who is there to cheat? It's your story, your characters, and even more importantly, it's your fun. Unless you record yourself playing, no one will know or have any role in your game. You carry the same authority a GM does in fudging rolls. If the oracle gave you a result you don't like, you can roll again, or choose one of the options that appeals to you, or sack off the oracle altogether and make it up. In terms of ruleset, don't feel like you have to stick with Pathfinder 2E as written. Change rules you don't like. Remove rules you don't like. Borrow rules from other rulesets like D&D, Basic Fantasy, or Scarlet Heroes. A lot of "rules" are just guidelines depending on what's happening. Rulesets will tell you all about movement, how far you move in a turn, how far you see, how far you can shoot an arrow - but that only matters if you have an elaborate battle map set up with miniatures, for example. All those rules can be happily discarded if your combat is in the "theatre of the mind", where you can't measure or quantify the size of a room and where NPCs are stood. That's just one example where, even if you feel like you're cheating, you can easily modify or remove rules and quite easily justify doing so.

@@GeekGamers01 If one thinks of "rules" as being things from outside, they can be quite onerous, but if one thinks of them as how you (the player) want to handle some playtime activity (e.g. combat, exploration), then it is quite empowering to realize you can just snap off a bit from System X and combine it with things you like about Systems Y and Z.

Ah Windows Service Packs! Great analogy.

So there really is no significant difference between the original second edition and the remaster except the CYA move to cut ties with WotC and their OGL... Okay good to know. Thanks.

Links to the book, Dungeon Year Design Journal, is in the video description. I have DCC and MCC... really want to love them but the d30 always stumps me, even though I know how to "make" one... I have used MCC as source material for other sci fi games... Pathfinder is very narrative to me once you get beyond all the math and mechanics, which I just strip down to the very basics. There is just material for it and i like the art style too.

Thanks! Glad you liked it!

@@GeekGamers01 I wallowed about in your Solo Guide over the holidays, tried out some different approaches as suggested, and have been so inspired to Make More Time for Fun this year to come. Hearing you go over the the high points & watching you apply them after reading has made a few little points clearer as well. I really appreciate what you do here on your channel!! I hope you have a really Groovy New Year to Come!

@@katiekofemug What a lovely comment to read, thank you! I'm so glad you are enjoying my book and it seems you are really getting into the spirit of the approach. Thanks for taking the time to comment and a very happy 2024 to you as well.

See video description

@@GeekGamers01- thank you, I ordered a copy.

Ok… the best comment of the year so far. ;) Happy 2024 to you!

Hey thanks for letting me know. I know it has been selling a lot but did not realize it was out of stock. I have just written to the publisher and will post an update here when I get one. FWIW looks like it is still available on the UK Modiphius site. Not sure how much that might help you but perhaps you could write to them and ask about that and whether they could do anything for you on the shipping (assuming you are US-based). Also, any customer writing to the website asking when it will be restocked is also very helpful in getting things moving.

​@@GeekGamers01here I am a month later looking for the same answer as a Canadian follower.. I will get to bugging them now

@heartlessjustice1813 I believe everything is back in stock now including on Amazon (us)

@@GeekGamers01 unfortunately it's not... I've found one site in the UK that has stock, but it would cost me more than I'm comfortable paying

@@heartlessjustice1813 Sorry to hear you aren’t finding it but I see it in stock again at Amazon (US) with free shipping if you have prime and are in US. Here it is: www.amazon.com/Modiphius-Entertainment-Ltd-Geek-Gamers/dp/1802810811/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2PK6H9SE2MT98&keywords=solo+game+master%27s+guide+geek+gamers&qid=1707519740&sprefix=Solo+game+ma%2Caps%2C177&sr=8-1

No I have no experience using Savage Worlds.

Which book? My book, SOLO GAME MASTER’S GUIDE? That is available in the UK from the publisher. Go to Modiphius.net.
