Today we are discussing a topic of world building. Because we want to play and not spend hours creating an inspiring map !

Since May 2021, I have been involved in writing the DUNGEONS SOLO series published by Doppelgänger Publishing. DUNGEONS SOLO is a series of "dungeon crawler" type game books designed for a single player without a game master.

Last week, I posted about another way to approach rpg solo gaming by simulating the characters rather than the game master.
The topic led to an interesting discussion on reddit that you can find here: reddit link
Today I'm sharing my thoughts on how to build this kind of game.

Since the beginning of the solo rpg we have seen a whole range of game master generators. The most famous being of course Mythic Role Playing.

In a previous article How to play solo rpg in FIVE minutes only? Example #2 , I explained how to play in 5 minutes. The result was satisfactory but incomplete. Since I liked the adventure, I wanted to take some time to rethink all these adventures and rewrite the adventure
I'm not going to completely distort what I've written in the past. I'm filling in the blanks

Insurgent, Mazerunner, Narnia... I love these movies. I'm not talking about the teen movie aspect or the rotten clichés that force these films to the rank of B movies.
No, what I like is the way the author mistreats his background.
Play in 5 minutes: Example part2

Continuation of the adventures of our interstellar smuggler. You can find part 1 where I used Tod Zircher's oracle here. This time, I'll use my favorite oracle generator, the icon-based generator.
