Long time no see! In this arena installment, we're going to test out some exotic weapons - hook swords and macuahuitls.

All right, it's time to do another solo game, but this time not in a fantasy setting, but in a soft-ish sci-fi setting. I do have a setting writeup, but there are some things and aspects that I would like to polish, change, or remove. Maybe this game will be also a worldbuilding exercise!

The previous solo game didn't go far, so let's try another one. This time, I might create some more setting-specific and system-specific tables to roll on. Let's see how it goes this time.

I bet that many of you have heard about solo roleplaying, but not many have tried that. The most well known "GM emulator/oracle" probably is Mythic GM Emulator, but there are many others, such as the Adventure Crafter. They all have their upsides and downsides, so it's up to you to decide which one to use. It's your game after all. Here, I am going to use MGME with one of its modifications - Variations 2, and maybe use additional toolkits. Hopefully, this will show people what this entire thing looks like.

Arena: Troll Hunter vs. Gnoll Band

Arena: Troll Hunter vs. Gnoll Band

In this installment of the arena, we decided to try a "one versus many" scenario - a troll hunter versus a band of two gnoll warriors and two gnoll slave-takers (marked with purple dots on the map). 

Arena: Mind Flayer Sorcerer vs. Human Fighter Vampire

Arena: Mind Flayer Sorcerer vs. Human Fighter Vampire

Here's another combat scenario, where we decided to try out something more high-powered - mind flayer sorcerer and human fighter vampire.

Arena: Minicore vs. Otyugh

Arena: Minicore vs. Otyugh

In this installment, the arena's contestants are monstrous, but without any supernatural qualities - a minicore and an otyugh. The fight didn't last for 33 seconds, like the last one, but was nonetheless fun.

Arena: Thug vs. Tiefling Warrior

Arena: Thug vs. Tiefling Warrior

This is the start of a new series of posts, where I run test combats with my friends, using NPCs/adventurers/monsters, and write turn-by-turn reports. In this one, the arena contestants are a thug and a tiefling warrior. Two simple humanoid warriors with swords and ranged attacks. Should be fast and simple, right? I thought so too.

Session Recap: Titanean Escapades, Sessions 1-3

Session Recap: Titanean Escapades, Sessions 1-3

More than a month ago, I started a new game set in my sci-fi setting. Due to bad luck and other complications, only three sessions have been played so far, but I hope that scheduling will be less prone to problems in the future. I'm not experienced in writing session recaps, but it's time to write some and get some practice.

Recap: Eggplant Strategy Playtest #1

Recap: Eggplant Strategy Playtest #1

Not long ago I wrote a GURPS-based system for play-by-post strategy games. I made up my mind and decided to run a small playtest game with just 2 players. Here's a short recap and my thoughts on it.
