Just want to say, watching you roll a bunch of dice IS entertaining thanks to how you develop each character as you go, great series hope to see more solodark!! Also I downloaded your DM help kit, thanks for making it available!
I must say, I watched (listened really) to the handful of videos out so far while doing some dishes. I've just rolled up the town and area of "DARKWATER" using these rules and these worksheets. I've tried to do some solo role playing before, but I usually peeter out, mostly because I view it as a chore of like, writing a narrative story in a Word doc. I'm excited to see this solo play formula.
Thanks for the comment. The first time I did this, Darkwater was my first settlement. My session one video drops today and it is a little messy, but I am learning how to do this. That is the heart of this channel. I struggled with solo for a long time for the same reasons as you. Therefore, I developed this system that helps me and I hope helps others.
I haven’t finished the video yet, but is that the North Holds map from Runehammer in the background? If so, do you play Crown & Skull. I was playing a solo session of Crown & Skull while watching your Shadowdark world building videos.
It is the Runehammer map! Have the book and the dice, but haven't played a game yet. Hopefully, it will be one of the games I play on this channel down the line.
Thanks for the kit! It's going to be so helpful!
You're welcome! Enjoy!

Comment for the algorithm
Running everything via hex makes it very easy to know when to roll random encounters. You could even roll the threat level for each district in town.
I agree. It makes it so much easier for me as well and it gives you town flavor for storytelling.

@@ThatsHowIRolethat would be awesome. I really like the game and I think it really lends itself to solo gaming.
