clarence Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 There are several new blog posts where UbiquitousRat describes how he's using M-SPACE and Mythras Imperative for a solo campaign. The setting is called Serene Dawn and sounds very interesting. Check it out here: http://ubiquitousrat.net/ As I'm a big fan of solo gaming myself, it's nice to see M-SPACE being used for it. 3 Quote FrostByte Books M–SPACE d100 Roleplaying in the Far Future Odd Soot Science Fiction Mystery in the 1920s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opiyel Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 I had read this and really liked it. I plan on doing something like this with M-Space to get a better feel for the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarence Posted April 9, 2017 Author Share Posted April 9, 2017 I believe that's a good way to learn a new system. You can take the time you need to check the rules without getting stressed and still run a real session. Have you decided what solo engine to use? I haven't tried the one UbiquitousRat uses, but it looks promising. So far I've been using Mythic GM Emulator and it's been very good - much better actually than I ever thought possible with a solo game. A story that writes itself on the fly might sound too good to be true, but it is really easy to get going : ) Highly recommended.

Alex Greene Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Have the Powers That Be considered retooling something like Mythras Imperative into a solo game system? A future project to consider.

rust Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 I am sometimes unfaithful to M-Space () and use the Cepheus Engine roleplaying system, basically an open content version of Traveller, Zozer Games has published a very useful solo gaming supplement for the Cepheus Engine, aptly named Solo. Many of that supplement's ideas could probably be used for M-Space, too, although I have not yet tried to do it. Quote "Mind like parachute, function only when open."

I've done solo gaming using Stars Without Number's Stellar Heroes and Tiny Solitary Soldiers's rules for solo gaming, along with Tangent Zero's Dice for ideas. It was fun and I enjoyed it a lot. I thought about getting Solo as above, but it's more geared toward fortune in the middle, where I prefer fortune at the end style. Sadly, I'll probably have to do more solo gaming since my laptop died and with it, my notes for this Sunday's M Space game died with it. Hundreds of planets and celestial bodies gone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarence Posted April 10, 2017 Author Share Posted April 10, 2017 My laptop crashed when I was almost finished with REFLUX a few weeks ago. Quite scary. Fortunately the HDD was ok, so I just took it out and hooked it up to my new computer. Worked like a charm. Tiny Solitary Soldiers sounds interesting. A bit quicker than Mythic, right? Did anyone try Covetous Poet? It seems to be quite popular.

clarence Posted April 10, 2017 Author Share Posted April 10, 2017 And here's a version of Mythic that works on a smartphone: http://solorpggamer.blogspot.se/2012/04/member-from-mythic-yahoo-group-created.html?m=1 Very handy. You must have a working knowledge of the rules to use it though.

Luckily, all of my Evernote stuff was on its cloud and got saved. The goods news is that my girlfriend was able to get into the fried hard drive and recover just about everything. Just have to wait a bit, but all of my maps and XMind files I stored will be back. 1 hour ago, clarence said: My laptop crashed when I was almost finished with REFLUX a few weeks ago. Quite scary.

Much faster than Mythic. I pair it with Tangent Zero's dice roller that act as Rory's Story Cubes so you can get inspiration on what is going on. I'd like to try the sci fi deck that Ubiquitous Rat uses. Looks to be really handy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarence Posted April 10, 2017 Author Share Posted April 10, 2017 I tried the sci-fi deck very shortly some time ago. It worked very well, but I found the cards containing a bit too much information. If I didn't like the outcome of one little corner, my eyes started looking for alternatives... It ended with me cheating : ) But that's just me. Good to hear your campaign survived the crash, Opiyel.

If a very strong and credible proposal crossed our desks, it would be given the same consideration as anything else, but we don't see this as a burning gap in our product line.
