Completed my long student this morning, which means I have officially met the qualifications for my private pilot's license! Just have to prep for the final oral/practical tests!

Also got some great pictures while I was in some smooth traffic-free air over central Florida. This state is really gorgeous at 3500 feet.

Several small lakes surrounded by agricultural fields and dotted above by small clouds.
Small clouds over a dense forest with a small neighborhood cut out of it.
Sunshafts through an uneven and beautifully backlit upper cloud layer, over a green land dotted with shining lakes as a single road cuts its way towards the horizon.

The Last Lighthouse from Button Shy has quickly become one of my favorite … Scot Almes struck such a great balance between a simple game loop and enough decision space and complexity without getting bogged down by analysis paralysis

Gestern habe ich gespielt. Meine Frau war unterwegs (Kette zu lang 😛) so hatte ich Zeit für mein neues Solospiel rausgeholt: 18Mag oder18Magyarország, was 18Ungarn heißt. Ich habe mich diesmal für den mittleren Gegner im Solospiel ausgesucht (er heißt István). Den leichten István habe ich das letzte Mal knapp besiegt, dann hab ich mich nun an den schwereren getraut. Und siehe da - nach Blick ins Regelheft - ich hatte letztes Mal fehlerhaft gespielt.1/x @brettspiele @boardgame

Gestern ein gespielt. Es war das Spiel 18Mag, ein 18xx mit Bot. Dieser heißt István, denn das Spiel handelt von den ungarischen Klein- und Staatsbahnen.
István kauft nach einem bestimmten Muster, welches zu Beginn des Spiels bekannt ist. Er bekommt drei zufällige Kleinbahnen, die sofort gelbe Plättchen legen und nur noch ein Upgrade bekommen. Ich habe aus den restlichen vier, eins abgeworfen. Bei diesem 18xx-Spiel geht es darum,... 1/3 @brettspiele @boardgame

Mine des alten Zwergenkönigs

Gerade als Du Dich aufmachen willst, um das Dorf wieder zu verlassen, erfährst Du von einer aufgeregten Dorfbewohnerin, dass der Sohn der Wirtin Mary MacGuffin beim Spielen in einen schmalen Schacht der Zwergenmine gefallen ist. Aus den Tiefen der Öffnung ist das leise Wimmern und Weinen des Jungen zu hören.

[…] Du füllst Deinen Schlauch noch einmal mit Wasser auf und lässt Dir von den Dorfbewohnern eine Fackel geben, die Du ebenfalls in Deinen Rucksack steckst. Dann steigst Du durch den Eingang hinab, obwohl Du nicht sicher bist, ob der Weg Dich zu dem Schacht führen wird, in den der Junge gefallen ist. Trotzdem musst Du es versuchen, um den kleinen MacGuffin zu seiner Mutter zurückzubringen. Was kann schon schiefgehen?

Die Mine des alten Zwergenkönigs ist ein unfertiger Prototyp eines illustrierten Soloabenteuers, den Mario Bühling zum Gratisrollenspieltag 2024 veröffentlicht hat. Es kommt mit einem Referenzbuch, das die Regeln zum Solospiel erläutert und Ergebnistabellen für das Abenteuer bereit hält, sowie den ersten beiden Kapiteln des Abenteuers.

At a loose end and not sure what kind of project to take up. Should I write another novel? Start a web serial? Write some ? An action RPG or sim game in ? Videos on video game history? A
campaign book?

I need a side project now that I have a day job, to keep me moving, keep me creative.

@lextenebris@vivaldi.net avatar

@mcoorlim See, I like that sort of thing. I like doing that sort of thing so it's a little bit self-interested.

But I would definitely suggest that if you haven't already, go check out some of the newer solo play games that are out there because some of them are really incredible. Ironsworn/Starforged (https://www.ironswornrpg.com) is the best game released in the last several years, in my opinion. Five Leagues from the Borderlands (https://www.modiphius.net/en-us/pages/five-leagues-from-the-borderlands)/5 Parsecs from Home (https://www.modiphius.net/en-us/pages/five-parsecs) are two of the best "adventure wargames" you can put on the tabletop. If you're looking for something of a more horrific bent, Elegy (https://miraclem.itch.io/elegy) and The Vampire: Alone in the Darkness (https://preview.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/329920/The-Vampire--Alone-in-the-Darkness-Remastered) do the solo vampire thing pretty interestingly in very different ways.

That's before we even start to get to specifically journaling games where there are some fascinating things going on.

It's a brave new world.

Not an RPG, but just played a round of Final Girl by Van Ryder Games (a board game), and. Every time I play this game, I’m so amazed by just how good it is paced and structured. I don’t think I’ve ever won “easily”. Really captures the horror movie structure of almost dying and making a desperate last stand.

For my birthday today, I received another loss in of the South Tigris but I got a lot closer compared to my first game.

I'm really liking this so far but not sure yet if I like it, or more.

Finished my first game of Scholars of the South Tigris and lost 60 to 42. I didn't really understand the flow for about half the game so I think I will be more confident on my second go round. The AI scores a ton for retiring translators and early on, I let him control too many guilds so he scored a lot on the early Caliph cards.

Question: the AI can translate scrolls of the same language? They just score that condition as many times as they translated?

@boardgamebreakdown@mas.to avatar

I started over on my first game of Scholars of the South Tigris as I was playing a portion wrong.

I can totally see why the weight is over 4 on BGG; there are a lot of things going on and you have to have a lot of foresight and planning to make things work out.

Hopefully I can finish tomorrow night and see how bad I lose.

So, I've played 4 games of Wayfarers and I think I'm getting worse lol. I definitely peaked on my second game.

Time to pack it away and try out Scholars for the first time.

First of Wayfarers of the South Tigris set up. I'm going up against the Journaling AI.

These bad boys just showed up. Not sure if I will get a chance to try Wayfarers tonight, but I will definitely bust into the box to read the rulebook.

Anyone have a favorite between these two? How about when playing ?

@boardgamebreakdown@mas.to avatar

I did much better in my second of , probably because I gave all the Foxes related names.

The AI didn't do near as well scoring study cards this time as I was a little more strategic in choosing parents that would keep his primary dice out of his hands. I also upgraded to multiple foxes earlier than I did last night.

Ending score was 58 to 42.

First game of was pretty fun. I lost by 9 points (65 to 56) but the AI is a beast at completing study cards, so I don't feel too bad.

Check out the pics for some shots of my upgrade board and some of the fox pups I bred.

Going to try my hand at for the first time tonight. Playing it to learn the rules before teaching my wife. All I know is the rulebook is pretty large (33 pages) and the fox meeples are super cute.

Anyone else played?

Смонтировал первое видео с гитарой в #Olive 0.2. Кеширование работает гораздо лучше, чем в 0.1, предпросмотр плавный. Несмотря на периодические падения эта версия сильно упощает работу, если проект большой. Если мышкой не шебутить, понимать, что собираешься делать и часто сохраняться, то пользоваться можно🌿

Why are you playing systems? are living off their social interaction and emergent storytelling, which is not-existent or strongly diminished when playing solo. Which system do you play and what makes them work for you?

lextenebris,
@lextenebris@vivaldi.net avatar

@samurro You've started with an invalid assumption, thus invalidating the whole point of the question.

You assert, without proof, that TTRPGs live off of their social interaction and emergent storytelling, as if solo gaming eliminates all of the above.

When you state something which is patently untrue and a little insulting to the very people you want to give you feedback, it doesn't end well. In this case you just managed to get largely ignored. Congratulations, you got off easy.

Emergent storytelling comes from the telling of story, the retelling of events – and it doesn't matter what seeds those events, whether it be other people or the effect of randomness or the operation of your own mind. The story exists, regardless. And it emerges from a confluence of multiple things, even in solo role-playing. Even in solo journaling games which are even more explicitly constrained in terms of presentation.

But this would have been obvious if you had actually looked at one, maybe even tried to play with. Crazy talk, I know, this idea of going to seek the answer to a question rather than simply asserting something incoherent. Madness, really.

lextenebris,
@lextenebris@vivaldi.net avatar

@samurro probably is the root of the best game designs that I have seen in the last several years, and I have seen a lot. The course of play is complex enough for sufficient events to come to pass so that there can be a story – but it's never a story you can fully predict the outcome of. You have to react in the moment with an eye to what your motivations are. is the more refined mechanical expression and a base setting which speaks to me somewhat more being science fiction.

It's a different mode of play to play solo, absolutely. But it doesn't make it a lesser mode than traditional fare; there are certain freedoms that come along with not having to deal with other players at the table when you want to have your own experience. And most solo RPGs these days have the ability to be played co-op so that you can cycle other people into your experience if that's what you want. But you don't have to.

I'm not particularly fond of retrofitting games which weren't designed for because inevitably the mechanics start getting over complicated when you're dealing with multiple characters and the pacing of events when involved in using the mechanics often feels stilted. It's a thing you can do, but probably a thing you shouldn't do.
