I like how the world is being generated spontaneously, but it still feels structured, primarily by both Simon’s motivations, and the cold, hard dice. It’s really awesome. Also, Edbert’s catchphrase has got to be, now: “I’ve seen things like this before!”
Edbert is by far my favorite character so far. Absolutely obsessed with ridding himself of his haunting, nothing touches his senses except that. He and Simon witness a demonic altar dripping in blood, and while Simon is shaken, Edbert is like, "Yeah, yeah, let's go. There's nothing here." LOL!
You are a brilliant inspiration for solo role playing. You obviously have an absolute ball in each session. Liking is inadequate. I bow in your direction. 🤣
I have to tell you how my first scene with Mythic started. It's a little comedic, but my elf fighter had a panic attack as she was having flashbacks of when she was a slave. I did ask the Fate Chart if the enslavement also had anything to do with the dwarves in my game, and I got an exceptional no. Anyhow, my cleric decided to tell my elf to just breathe. And my elf fighter really didn't like that answer. With that, my cleric taught the elf how to wiggle her stress away by literally wiggling - letting your arms fly above your head and just letting it be. It was a very wholesome scene actually. Just thought I'd share that. 🙂
Great episode! Love the mix-matching of all the various tables from different systems to make a game that is entirely unique and exactly what you need to create this story!
Wow, just wow. The way you weave this wonderful story from all of disjointed keywords (at least for me) when you use all of the tables and emulators is super fascinating. Love how you build the world on the spot
I'm a little late to the party, but I've been catching up on this series and it is excellent! Thank you so much for running it. You make it so apparent that roleplaying solo can be just as epic and exciting as roleplaying with a group. Plus, you REALLY bring your talent as a voice actor (and many years of gaming) into this. If this was a podcast instead of a video, I'd be convinced there were several people playing as well! All in all, thanks for making this, and I look forward to catching up!
This story is amazing! Thank you for continuing the series and sharing your results with all of us, Trevor. Your gameplay has inspired me to continue my own solo RPG sessions!
Thanks for another fun episode! Can't wait to see what happens next week, so far it's going better than I expected, knowing Simon's track record. I was sure they'd arrive to the temple, only to find a whole army of undead ready to jump on their heads...
Hah, the perk to watching this a week late is that I *know* that Simon will not die this time (because there is another episode waiting. Where Simon will almost die again...)
A bit late to the party, but I'm slowly catching up! I'm so glad you made this series, I finally understand how mythic works and now have a number of books on my wishlist for when I get the cash. Can't wait to see how things go in this series and (hopefully soon) my own solo adventures I'm hoping mythic works well with Tiny Dungeon 2e , I guess there's only one way to find out though :P
The sound effects fit really well into the mood of the story. It just drags me along, keeping me close to the hearts of Simon and his companion(s). It was as if my own heart was beating in place of theirs.
@@citeltheof I've had a physical copy of Mythic RPG (Red book including GME) for several years now and it is my go-to oracle. What I have is an "analysis paralysis" issue regarding what actual RPG system to use (and stick to) in my games in addition to GME...
@@citeltheof I have both the PDF and physical copy of Mythic GME. The PDF was useful to print out the Fate table and event charts for a quick reference.
Just started watching this past week. I'm binge watching the series and channel. Love solo play. I built a system over 30yrs ago to do just as you have been but all in one place. But ya, I use anything within my grasp as well. Nothing wrong with an overflowing toolbox. Joy of DMing hundreds of tables each year and multitudes of worlds. You collect a trove that exceeds the gamespace.
Well, I'm glad that Simon isn't dead... yet... After a bit of watching I saw how close I was to the end and feared the worst. Another useful tool for running or populating a random dungeon is Scarlet Heroes. I've had some success with it in the past.
Edbert literally the whole episode: I've seen things like this before Mate, what kind of soldier were you? Have you actually seen things like this before, or is your ghost feeding you information and you just didn't want to elaborate further?
Thanks! I've used it over the years as inspiration for my live games around the table, and sometimes to help build adventures - but not a ton, actually. I have a lifetime's worth of miscellaneous RPG supplements kicking around that I draw upon.
out of interest Trevor, each episode is about 45 mins long but how long/much do you record before you edit it down (or do you even edit it down) before you are happy with it..
If you mute the video and ignore the dice rolls, his hair, glasses, and animated talking while referencing books and jotting stuff down, makes him look like some manic scientist on the verge of a new discovery if he could only figure out that damned formulae!
A new regular channel for me now, late to the party but glad I found ya! 😀

I'll have to try and remember that. There's a *lot* going on in the show!
I use the Mythic 2E version. I was skeptical, not gonna lie, but it works as well as advertised. That said, you do need supplements.
"there's no way he knows anything about this"
*rolls 09*
"he does!!!"
welcome to Me, Myself and Critical Die! :-)
Given that he has been haunted by a ghost for some time, it's likely that he did research on necromancy. That is why he knows.
09 + 91 = 100 btw

I screamed at my monitor with that cliffhanger... what a place to leave it!
So did I!
Alas, it is fortunate that I watch this a year later when the tale has reached its finale.
Loving this, you have converted me! Started buying some of these books and I finally understand the mythic emulator :)
This is really making me want to pick up MGME
Great episode! Love the mix-matching of all the various tables from different systems to make a game that is entirely unique and exactly what you need to create this story!
If you think about it, it makes sense Edbert was the only one to fall asleep. Poor guy hasn’t slept in weeks
This one was really good Trev. This is making me want to introduce more random elements into my game.
Wow, just wow. The way you weave this wonderful story from all of disjointed keywords (at least for me) when you use all of the tables and emulators is super fascinating. Love how you build the world on the spot
Sending out some love for the algorithm on my re-watch of the series! Keep up the excellent work, Trevor!

Esto es explotar tú talento y profesionalismo para alimentar las necesidades del rolero en solitario!
Gracias 👍

More, we need more!
Really enjoying this so far. I need to give this a shot for myself.

Darn. If I didn't know better, I woulda said you planned that cliffhanger! Dang!!!!
Got me rolling up random characters and playing Savage Worlds for the first time!
Fantastic and an awesome place to leave to leave a cliffhanger. Next Tuesday can’t come quick enough.
The sound effects fit really well into the mood of the story. It just drags me along, keeping me close to the hearts of Simon and his companion(s). It was as if my own heart was beating in place of theirs.
I promised I won't buy yet another RPG book, but it looks like I'll have to get Savage Worlds for solo playing!

Your DnD story drew me in. I'm enjoying the adventure 👣☠🔥
Great cliffhanger! I'm really enjoying your continuing adventures of Simon the ever increasingly wrong-un of Argustan.
Nice episode. And a good cliffhanger to end on!
As short as incredibly good episode, Trevor!

Well, now I turned my son onto your series. You rock, buddy! Thank you for entertaining us so well!
finally able to watch this episode after a crazy week, I wonder how Simon Almost Died this week, or if Edbert survived
Absolutely brilliant!

I hope you find it useful!
What a episode!
Great! Soloing here!
Fantastic! I just found this and have been on a bit of a binge.
Oooooh no, what a cliffhanger! hahahahaahahha We need the next episode
Thanks a lot for all the work and effort you put into this. Love it
Excited to watch this adventure! I was hoping he would’ve found a cleric but... :P
Really loving this channel. Always makes me laugh and helps me get through long nightshifts. Keep up the great work.
Found you thru Karak (ACG). Love it! Excellent work. You got a new fan.
My cat appreciated this video. So do I ;)
PS: She normally do not pay attention to such things, but this time she watched
Oh come on!!! Cliffhanger!!!!
WHAT is the thing that is coming?!!! 😱
Mwa ah ah.... tune in next time to find out!
When you rolled up Hobgoblins, my first thought was some kind of Hobgoblin dark shaman.
Often viewers who are also GMs will be watching the show, screaming out their own interpretations of the rolls at the screen. I think it's great.
What if those hobgoblins were an advance party for the purifying flame, and their arrival tipped of the denizens of the temple?
I thought the centipedes had returned with the hobgoblins asleep.
Oh yeah! Ah well, ya never know how things are going to go when you’re randomly determining things.
Edbert literally the whole episode: I've seen things like this before
Mate, what kind of soldier were you? Have you actually seen things like this before, or is your ghost feeding you information and you just didn't want to elaborate further?
You should consider the walking Dead RPG it has its own solo mode!
You make this look so easy. Just curious... how much experience do you have using the GM emulator and other tools?
Thanks! I've used it over the years as inspiration for my live games around the table, and sometimes to help build adventures - but not a ton, actually. I have a lifetime's worth of miscellaneous RPG supplements kicking around that I draw upon.
Perhaps I was to quick to judge Edbert, he's clearly seen some shit to know necromancer reading
Where do you get your settings from?
is there any type of character advancement. via the SW system..??
Way late to the party .. but this is awesome
IS it a lich?? ((no it's not we know it's not))
Please share the Simon’s character sheet and let us see why “he sucks”, lol
I'm planning on creating some videos that show exactly that!
@@citeltheof Keep watching. He gets upgrades, as per the rules.
Simon might suck, but he is also a mensch. He basically wanders around healing everybody he comes across.
out of interest Trevor, each episode is about 45 mins long but how long/much do you record before you edit it down (or do you even edit it down) before you are happy with it..
It’s about a 3:1 ratio. So if I shoot for an hour and a half (which is typical), I’ll get a 30 minute episode out of it.
Thanks Trevor..... Maybe you will do a blooper reel one day just for the hell of it
If you mute the video and ignore the dice rolls, his hair, glasses, and animated talking while referencing books and jotting stuff down, makes him look like some manic scientist on the verge of a new discovery if he could only figure out that damned formulae!
You don't read them! Not them all 😊
But...but... I read *this* one...
;)
