As a solo player, this is extremely helpful. The book has great tables for pretty much anything you can think of. Whether you struggle coming up with basic prompts or the fine details, this has got you covered.

This pdf has a layout made for a tri-fold style pamphlet. It does not read well on a monitor / tablet. The text as a result is restricted to fit the pamphlet layout style. This made the text terse and not nearly as simple or useful as it could have been.

"For each location, answer: What’s it known for? [redacted] [redacted] "

If the text wasn't restricted this could be complimented by a random table, making the process simple and the pdf itself then useful. "Creatures & Monsters Create 2-3 creatures unique to your world"

This is all it says on creatures and monsters. Owners of random creature generators will be able to resolve this on their own but you will find no aid in this pdf.

Sprinkled across a messy one page layout there are more unanswered questions than answers.

The random table for "The World’s Scar" is good, though limited in options. If there were more like that this could easily be a 5 star tool. "Connect the Dots" and the "Verb Inspiration Table" were also fine.

I do not value world building tools that present an example and then go: "Now you make something like this for your world". I prefer random tables that give me too many concrete answers and then inspire a process of abductive reasoning. If you disagree with that, this product may be 5/5 stars for you.

If you're new to solo roleplaying (like me) and you can only afford 1 set of oracles/random tables, this is a great start. It's easy to understand but still deep enough and very helpful!

pretty good, a few critters missing that i'd love to see added. and bookmarks would have been helpful for navigating. left out the van meter monster, the beast of bray road, and the beast of boggy creek, to name a few. very worthwhile.

I know that the author has a lot of experience playing solo RPG's, and has used many random tables, and understands a lot better than I do which types of tables work best for popular playstyles / systems.

However, in my opinion, I found the list impressively extensive but overly specific entry to entry, with the logic behind the use of the system being quarter-baked. I understand he is working on starting his venture and is working tirelessly on multiple new products, and has very specifically mentioned many times this is meant to be a live document, where he is planning on updating it and improving it. So it makes sense that he is putting this out to get a start and will continue to build as time goes on. Im happy to be a part of supporting his hard work.

But with the amount of specificity in each entry for each table, the endless variations of these very specific entries.. and the layout.. It just seems like logically, the work it would take to manually create all of this by archive, experience, imagination, logic and by hand vs. the amount of effort put into the layout and overall purpose of the document doesn't totally add up for me. Has he used these specific entries over time and just copied and pasted his archives? Did he use a successful method to make the most efficient format for him to make the best possible version #1 of the product, or did he use a random generator to create the entries?

I don't want to make any assumptions but it just feels like the only way this product would make sense to create as a solo developer is if it's been randomly generated or automated in some way.. Maybe that's blasphemous to say. Just how I feel as a newcomer.

Based on his level of experience and how long he's been a member that's likely not the case. Super looking forward to seeing this extensive list of tables come to life as he updates the file.

Best wishes and support for your efforts in starting this venture, and the many obstacles you've overcome and those that are still to come. I was happy to purchase the product and look forward to what comes of your plans, strategy and hard work.

Cheers!

This makes coming up with fresh new ideas for monsters so incredibly easy. Thanks Moses

Very great Product with a lot of inspiration in it

It's fine. GNN news is something I'll probably integrate in my games. Otherwise there's more of the same you can find in countless other books. That's not necessary a bad thing, those oracles are perfectly fine and useful it's just that Solo RPG scene is oversaturated by them, and they do not offer anything new or elaborated or original.

If you just starting collecting solo RPG tools, I can recommend this book, as it covers many elements important to the genre, together with examples how to use the oracles. But if you already has scores of solo RPG tools lying around, it's safe to skip this one.

As a solo role-player on YouTube myself, I found this to be one of the best products out there! The tables found in this book are helpful for creative writing, story and world building and of course Solo role-playing! This has replaced Mythic 2E for me for almost all Fantasy games! There is so much greatness packed into this book! What are you waiting for? Do yourself a favor and buy it! Rob From ADVENTURES WITH DICE

Love the product! Only gripe I have is it's too spread out, so to actually play you need to scroll or click back to index a lot. Some of the tables could be combined easily on a single page instead of 5.

Without changing anything you could add a quick reference pages in the end. Maybe one page with all secret discovery stuff combined, one for npcs and so on.

This is a fantastic product. Thank you Moses for your solo gaming experience put to paper. Great job!

I've read it but yet to test it. Love your content.

I feel like the author had a principle in mind to keep everything as simple as possible while still providing the breadth of options needed for each table.

I've used other products that provided tables with larger numbers of entries, but I prefer the fast and better curated entries I find in these tables.

The NPC Conversation Generator is, again, one of the simplest and best conversation systems I've seen. I see it and think, "why hadn't I thought of doing it that way before?"

I look forward to using the Clues and Secret Discovery system.
