Solo d6 Fantasy: Session 9


Interesting ending. I am sure someone will cry how the boys essentially set the bandits on fire, but hey, all is fair in love and war. In the real world you would not leave people that want to kill you alive, unless you are just a stupid fuck. Then you would probably believe cashless bail is a good thing.

Solo d6 Fantasy: Session 8

As my friend Christian put it, "What a way for the elf Prince to go..."

I have said it before but the surprising twists and turn - the unexpected - is what drew me to DMing games, and due to the way in which I play solo RPGs, I have been able to continue this angle. So far, this little adventure, something like 5 locations, had really been interesting.

Update on the characters -

Solo d6 Fantasy: Session 7

Had some interesting things happening here, and in a direction I did not foresee with the goblin prisoners being tortured and even mutilated. Those bandits must be some bad mofos...

This is one of the things I like most about solo gaming, and one that shares a good deal with how I ran games for people. In my best gaming sessions I never fully fleshed out the encounter. I knew what would lead to the encounter, and then I just let fate, ingenuity, and off the cuff insanity take over and resolve the session. This meant I was often as surprised as the players as to the path the adventure takes (sometimes screaming towards). 

I find in solo gaming much of my enjoyment comes from the unexpected and interesting (sometimes deadly) turns that our story goes. I think that is one of the facets of solo gaming that the naysayers simply do not understand. I have often heard people say 'how fun can it be when you know what will happen, and that is exactly the crux of it. I really have no idea where the adventure will head, nor how well my heroes will do. Maybe they will be big heroes, maybe they will all die, maybe they will befriend a giant or demon. 

That level of the unexpected, keeps the game fun and interesting, and makes every single game unique.

Solo d6 Fantasy: Session 6

I was honestly a little worried going into this one after the last session. Three bandits AND a bugbear!? I thought for sure our goose was cooked, or perhaps at least Gort's ass might be. To quote someone else somewhere, I think he was more scared of us, than we of him!

I used a quick map to ink out the battle just for myself to easily track who was where, though I ended up not really needing it at all.

Kapell of Kythira: Map25.04

Hidden in the rolling hills of the nearby frontier, lies a small chapel dedicated to a saint's last resting place. What might lie in waiting within its walls?

Solo d6 Fantasy: Session 5

The band enters the lair! I did modify the risk rule in the system due to the short dungeon. Now I will be increasing the Risk by +1 after every room instead of every three.

Exceptionally sharp readers might also notice the drawn map seems familiar, and they would be correct. I am utilizing the Bandit's Defilement map I posted earlier this month. I decided to redraw it here as I go along because, well, I like drawing maps.


I just realized I totally forgot about the campfire Vin could smell before they came to the lair. Oops...  I guess that is what happens when you play a session at work, on break, and do not play again until the following day. Oh well!
