Wonderful stuff as usual. You are a treasure trove of solo role-playing information! Thanks for continuing to make these videos I really appreciate it. Yo are to be congratulated on your efforts, ma'am.

This technique unlocks a whole trove of material out there. Thank you so much

Trying so hard to get into running Pathfinder for my damn self. You have been a big help.

As usual this was ace!

Other than the initial video(varney the vampire), this is your most interesting video yet. The tables, vials and trinkets, are fertile for creativity. I found myself wondering who the bone powder was when he was alive. When you were creating the entry order, I got the cliche of the two mages standing there claiming to be the real one. Very entertaining. I've been trying to figure out a way to do social encounters and make the npcs less generic. Using needs and motivation, maslow? Building up a popularity with an npc and using that to unlock different effects like introducing me to another pc or using their skills to help me etc. Seems a little to much board gamey. Your narrative freeform is so much more preferred. Just an excellent video on a subject I am very interested in.

I'm trying to dev my own solo rpg adventures i'm new in this and don't have a lot of friend to play with, these tutorials you made are wonderful and extremely useful for my porpuse, i can't thank you enough for this, your examples and explanations are wonderful. You're giving me a ton of inspiration

A solution I use to handle surprise is to reverse my solo role. Instead of being a solo player I focus on being a solo DM. I use the Mythic game master emulator, yes/no system, or story cubes as a player emulator. It works really well for premade modules.

thanks G.G. for another great video! I'm still learning this new form of the hobby, I subscribed to the SoloRPG section on BGG as well. so many cool things to add to my games. thank you for sharing your ideas and hard work making the videos!

I greatly appreciate this work in the D and D system. I am continuing to watch as you work-out this theme of non-combat encounters in solo play. The non-combat encounters open the story of solo play and are sometimes more challenging to dream-up than the combat default. I hopeful to discover ways to randomize the non-combat "event" in addition to the non-combat character-type (e.g., doppelganger, elf or halfling). Thanks so much Geek Gamers for your fun and thoughtful videos.

i love to watch this video multiple times thanks for the vid Geek Gamers

You could try dropping the dice in a glass tumbler. They're less likely to bounce out and everyone can see what you rolled. It has become my preferred method for non dice-pool games.

Very good...I usually use the Mythic word lists to generate some back story and /or conversation with my player characters.

Great topic!

I would love to play D&D with you

Did the doppelganger have to be a duplicate of someone in the party? It could have been a doppelganger of the wizard that originally presided in this workshop. Where might that scenario have gone?

Hi GG, great video. You hit the proverbial hammer on the head of what is missing from solo rpg play.. like salsa not having just enough salt, or an itch you cant scratch, etc...etc. I was wondering (since I am a programmer by occupation) if I could get your opinion on something. I too, have been wanting to try and address this issue. i was thinking about writing an android app that could simulate (abstractly) the response of NPC's via the various emotional stimuli received from their environment, interaction with other char's etc. Is this something you would find useful or others might find useful. I know in some of your videos you mention how you strictly use pen and paper, but this would simply be on your phone no need for a PC, or is even that too much? Would a paper system be preferred?

So can we get a close-up of your random decision table to copy?
