    Thank you so much for the video, I'm so happy to know you like the game! You did all the camping procedure correctly, by the way! You can cook and then eat the ration you cooked. In combat, the Razorjaw rolled a 44, which is a fumble, actually! You also forgot that all damage rolls must be checked with the Damage Dealt table, even spells (or traps, etc.), so a result of 6 is actually 2 damage. I have lots of ideas for more content, so you'll be seeing some cool stuff coming out for Ker Nethalas soon enough! Thanks once again for your work and for taking a look at my game!

      Btw in the vídeo she had 0 in Reason and so a Roll was not made becouse of the doubt about having a base nr. Me dont knowing the rules and just watched the vídeo, even if the base is 0 Rolling still makes sense, as you can get doubles and get XP for that skill. I think 😅

    As always a superb suggestion, bought and started it today and for someone like me who rolls terribly, i managed to have a goal of relic hunter and somehow found a spoil of the band of knowledge relic after my first room and encounter win, hopefully that was a rare bit of luck as now i have a big stat bump which i hope doesnt make it too easy as i like to be fighting the tide. One thing im not sure about is exhaustion as ive had 3 fights now and i dont get any exhaustion ? think im likely missing something there ! Anyway thanks again, most enjoyable.

    I have started to make solo gaming content on my channel, and in the solo RPG challenge video I uploaded today, I played using a coin (coins are the challenge for March), and a book, and I did some tongue in cheek writing.

It would brighten my day if you watched it and left a comment.

    Great video!

    • @GeekGamers01
      @GeekGamers01  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      Great question & it depends on what you seek. I think this game offers more theme and , as it is solely contained in one book, more approachability. D100 is more generic fantasy and it takes longer to make significant differences to your character. While you can play the game with just the main rule book, it has been out so long that there are 8 or so books out there with rules spread among them.

    • @RadRobots

    I LOVED Choose Your Own Adventure and tabletop RPGs as a kid and your video is the first I've seen of single player RPGs, consider me super intrigued. I have to ask, is it cumbersome to play? I feel like you're spending half your time looking things up which could become tedious. Is that typical of these types of games or am I not properly imagining it?

    • @GeekGamers01
      @GeekGamers01  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      There are so many different types of solo RPG games that it is hard to generalize. This one has lots of tables; others don’t. Personally I love tables so it isn’t tedious to me but if you didn’t like tables you’d be more happy with a different ruleset.
      I’d recommend my solo RPG playlist as a place to start to see the variety of games and/or my solo GM guide which presents narrative principles to help with solo play (& less reliance on tables and oracles).

      the download files come with an aid that has all the tables, it would be easy to print that out and put it on a GM screen, it's just 4 panels.

    These things are never clear. It looks like the book on Amazon is not enough. Is there a kit where I get everything or is it truly the book and if so, on the book then where do I get the map? Is the map inside the book, what are all those other things do I really need them?

      That's not really true, all my games have expansions. Warlord Ascendant is just 4 months old so I haven't had the time to release an expansion for it, and Across a Thousand Dead Worlds was just released, but all my other games have new content already. I realize the importance of supporting my games with new content, and besides, I love my settings and have fun working on new stuff for them. I'm only one person so I can't really release at a faster pace, but if you're a bit patient you'll see how I support all my games, sooner or later!
