It would be awesome if you do a review on this game/engine!

Enjoy! I have tons of content on my channel about how to play solo (even tho there is not one “right” way to do so)!

Glad you enjoyed the vid. Yes, if you are concerned about your older eyes (I have those too!), spring for the bigger book. Even that font isn’t huge, tho I found it fine. To the creator’s credit, he’s including tons of material & probably wanted to minimize page count due to manufacturing costs. But the smaller book looks to have been a design shrunk down rather than a new font reset so it is a bit tight.

It’s hard to have too many! :)

I have multiple books of these same rules & Scarlet Heroes seems more solo focused than this one (if you want to run one or 2 PCs). The tables look like they could be useful but SH has that as well. Redundant for me but may be interesting for others.

Yep.

I may skip FORGE since it seemed to look like it came out during the ogl debacle and tried to appeal to people during said debacle. For me who got burnt out from trying different rpgs due to drama, i cant help but feel the ttrpg market got a bit more saturated than it was a few years ago and at this point I cant help but feel recommendations are done out of spite against wotc rather than genuine interest.

@@rpgchroniclerI can’t speak to the designer’s motivations in creating this of course & I have no interest in whether or not anyone buys it but on my end the wotc scandal never entered my mind when thinking about this until I read your comment just now. I only recommend material that I think can be of interest to my viewers for what it offers and no other reason. I present a lot of similar things because everyone likes something different and yes you are correct that there’s a lot out there now (too much?). Thanks for watching and commenting.

@@rpgchronicler Hi there. I just wanted to reassure you that capitalising on the wotc scandal never even crossed my mind - I have been playing my own versions of d&d for years, both in a group and solo. I started work on FORGE middle of last year and it just so happened to coalesce into a finished product when it did recently. I hadn't intended on releasing it to a wider audience until I was convinced to do so by friends and family. I love playing solo and am dedicated to making it easy for others to do so too.

@@GeekGamers01 i was commenting to the original poster of the comment, but im well aware thankfully you make videos on games/supplements you feel are worth making regardless of whats happening in the industry so no worries. I may agree there maaaay be a bit too much, too much to a point where i dont blame folks for sticking to more of the mainstream systems like 5e or pf2e due to choice paralysis.

Hey there. Good to hear from you. I’ve never really used Mythic so haven’t looked at the app. Didn’t know there was one even. As I don’t like apps when gaming I’m unlikely to download it so therefore unlikely to form an opinion. :)

If you are willing to buff up a character or adjust enemy stats you could run one. I ran two in my sample sessions and it was fine.

Player races are not specified with different stats but the assumptions in the name listing is that you could be a human, halfling, gnome, elf, dwarf, giants, and others. It is open-ended as to how you would adjust stats for the various races, but you easily could.
