Congrats, Matt! 🙂

by Pentaclebreaker

In fairy tales, creatures and persons tend to be one dimensional i.e. a King is a powerful man and most of the time a honest person, a princess is a beautiful woman and honest as well. A beast is a beast and dangeerous, nothing more or less.

In fantasy environment, even a mythical beast like a dragon might have a multidimensional personality. It may be greedy like hell but how it tries to gain treasure may differ.

Ciao

Worldbuilding is easy. But Oracles .. eugh. And I've tried. I've showed my experiments here.
Ultimately Solo-rpging is not for me (it doesn't have to), I've found myself sitting there, with yet another expermient, trying to think up something a plot/pitch and all I've could think was "This is gonna suck."
I still enjoy everyone else's story, though. Keep them coming. 🙂

Figuring out what you do and don't enjoy is at least as important as figuring out a process. The two are probably related in some way.
World-building and/or character creation are totally valid ways to do solo RPG. So is reading other folks' adventures.

I can be creative and come up with various ideas, but my kinds of creativity seem to be different from what is needed for abstract oracle interpretation. I make up maps of fictional places. I draw made-up critters and characters. I can even write little snippets of dialog. But ask me to write a story with a plot and characters and all that, or to interpret some abstract combination of words, or some of the other "writerly" things and I turn into the "nope, nope, nope" meme. It's not my idea of fun. You can't make me do it. You can't help me enjoy it. 😛

When you're coming up empty on an oracle interpretation, have you ever just thrown it out and asked whether something you've already created (map, critter, dialog, etc) offers a possible answer, or at least a direction things can move in? Or even whether one of your creations can help you choose a different question that it can also help you answer?

I'm not trying to push you to enjoy something you don't enjoy, Dave. Just wondering if there is a useful tidbit here that might help some folks some of the time.

Also! While there won't be a full chargen session (I don't think it takes that long and I don't want to drag people away from morning panels), please feel free to show up early to chat and check out materials.

I guess for me, that kind of exercise that Old man yells at cloud describes doesn't sound like fun to me. It sounds like homework. 😛

I was very tempted to refer to it as homework, but decided not to. It is homework, though, but for a course that won't earn you a formal qualification. There are two types of people in this world, my friend: those who can tolerate oracles and those who can't. 😜

I made a template for a Discord server for Alice is Missing https://discord.new/YN8hFf6vYNV8

The account that is the server owner shouldn't be a player, as they have access to all channels, or mute and hide channels their character wouldn't have access to. This template still requires a copy of the game to play. Assign each player the role of their title, and they will have access to the group chat, and their personal chats per other player. There are also two non-game roles that allow read only access to the group chat (Silent Observer), and the group chat plus direct messages (Silent Direct Message Observer).

This was made back in 2024, and I only now thought to share it.

Great! I very much agree about character creation.

And I know it says "minimum 3 players" but don't worry, we'll run with whoever's there.

Great!! I'll have a sheet for each of the (published) classes, at Level 2. After you choose a class (and we'll talk about how!) you'll get to pick your ancestry, community, and experiences--all of which I'll go over. Subclasses and features will already be chosen for each class, for speed and variety and so folks generally have powers suited to a one-shot.

Very excited! I'll have everything you need; no experience required whatsoever.
