I found Trevor's Me, myself, and I when I was deadly ill for a month in the hospital. He showed me what was possible. I had bought Mythic a couple years before, but couldn't grasp it. Trevor ROCKS

There are simplified versions of the Mythic GME ( Mythic Magazine issue 25) the Adventure crafter ( Mythic Magazine issue 29) and Location Crafter ( Mythic Magazine issue 31) easier and cheaper for people new to Mythic.

Hi Kelsey, I'm glad you have found the wonderful world of solo play. Trevor is the best at it! For people who like group play, and who have never done solo, I thought I would explain why I love solo. To me, solo play is like reading a novel. Reading is a solo journey between me and the book. I don't need to schedule 4 to 6 people to be with me, to try to look over my shoulders and read the same book at the same time. Solo play provides that same one-on-one experience for me. Me, my dice, the oracles and a rule set go on a journey together. Happy soloing!

Absolutely loved this. As an old school gamer who kind of came back to the hobby later in life (i.e. kids grew up) solo play has been a true revelation. Excited to get my copy of Shadowdark and also for the next season of Me, Myself and Die. Watching these youtube channels has replaced TV for me. Keep up the great work.

Same here! It's been since like 1993 for me. When I came back, seeing people playing solo blew me away. Now I run solo delves all the time, and the results of those delves become lore for the campaign with my table game. Trevor is absolutely massive in showing the potential there.

Mythic also has a set of cards that are fantastic and easy to use. A general knowledge of the Mythic system and the cards means not having to dig through the book to find the right chart etc. It is honestly one of the best purchases I have ever made. I am planning on doing a Shadowdark Solo game using the Mythic 2 with the deck. I am really looking forward to giving it a shot.

Hi! I'm the guy who met you at Gen Con and asked about solo adventures for Shadowdark... and then you said for me to make one lol 😂. This stream was very helpful especially when you explained campaigns and their issues. I suppose an adventure would be a micro event that happens in a macro world. Maybe at later levels the micro events could affect the macro world but at lower levels the macro probably wouldn't affect the adventure... Or so I think. I have been thinking about your challenge of making a solo adventure and wonder if it if is possible to do part choose your own adventure (I have this monster that everyone has to meet) but it isn't the only way for the whole thing to unfold. I have a setting and three problems for one lone monk who's stuck over the Summer session (he holidays over Winter). He can't leave but well some of students that have nowhere to go... Maybe 🤔... I mean they want to adventure... not too unethical... and hmmm well he is incharge... and well what could go wrong? and so it begins.

I loved reading the Dragonlance books as they came out, but yeah the game modules I feel in the end had a negative impact on the ttrpg genre. Definitely feel that leaving the player's character's fate in their own hands is the best method. As a GM I love designing things or taking some published module and making it my own or putting my own touches and changes to it. It actually has always saved me time to do this.I use the published adventure module as a inspiration and a spring board. For me coming up with absolutely fresh material is the burn out.

I will never forget the Battle of Hundatora episode. It's in that moment when you realize that this really could be it for everyone, especially the "WHY DID I SAY THAT?!" moment. Anyone who has seen the episode will remember, I'm sure. But that was the moment where I was 100% sure that this show was truly ruled by what the dice said and that if there was a TPK, that was the season.

What a great conversation! I have just gotten Mythic GME2 to study it while vacationing so, yeah, this has come at a great time for me. It's such a great tool! Mythic (and soloing in general) should be a heavily recommended practice for every RPer, even if they're not naturally a soloist. Also, if you're a new GM, you don't have to wait for sessions with your players to train your improvisational skills, you can do it alone! The only way to become an expert at anything is to actually put a lot of hours into it in solitary. Moreover, soloing also allows you to prep while playing. You can make your world more alive (or literally make your world) by playing characters that your players will later find as NPCs, or even read about them in centuries-old legends. Ah... this hobby is just the best.

That was a great discussion. I seldom make it through a KZitem video of this length, but stayed with it. Unfortunately, I was available during the actual livestream. Solo play is much more interesting and well supported today, but I would note that it goes back to the very dawn of RPGs. There was a solo dungeon crawl generation system included in Issue #1 of The Strategic Review (the precursor to The Dragon magazine) in “Spring, 1975”.

Great interview! I really enjoyed the back-and-forth with Kelsey and Trevor. As a long-time user of Mythic GME, I thought the process analysis of Mythic GME was fantastic. I also really enjoyed hearing about both of their experiences with good and bad prewritten adventures. I only played the very beginning of Curse of Strahd before the GM couldn't continue due to changing work schedules. I also look forward to seeing Kelsey have a go at solo gaming, so I have subbed in preparation of that.

Being continuously creative on demand is exhausting. You need breaks, even from doing what you love. I was playing/recording/producing music and posting a video of the results once a week, but it becomes monotonous, and you need a break to re-charge the batteries so you can come up with something new and different.

I don’t think it’s about improvising, it’s more about making sense of the prompts given in relation to the current situation of the game. That is where you trust your instinct and goes with the first meaning you thought of.

This is such a fascinating conversation. I’m a hesitant gm because I’m overwhelmed by the infinite choices an RPG has. I have felt like oracles could give me more confidence in making decisions and choosing directions (metaphorically) in group games as well. I’m experimenting with the idea of converting Paul Bimler’s yes/no roll into a good/bad roll; so that when there’s a lull I can roll for myself to get inspiration about what could happen next. In this way I’m making the dice my idea person where I get to fill in the blanks, but am not sure if that too chaotic an idea. Edit: I forgot to preface that I’m also trying to culture a Bob Ross style (read fast, minimalistic and spontaneous) of gm-img where there is minimal prep and I could theoretically just set the first scene and build out from there on the fly.
