It also generated the astounding name “Eccentric Kevin”.

Cleric + Thief</h2> <p>Hey I started a new thing!</p> <p>This is the narrative version of a solo roleplaying game.</p> <p>It is based on the mechanics and the <em>callings</em> of <a href="https://awkwardturtle.itch.io/brighter-worlds">Brighter Worlds by awkwardturtle</a>. It is a lovely game and I wanted to play it. I came up with the setting and the starting scenario using <a href="https://sean-f-smith.medium.com/with-this-tool-youll-never-run-out-of-ideas-15d19ab72dfb">GRAPES and WTAF?! tarot spreads as described by Sean F. Smith</a>. And then I used the <a href="https://inflatablestudios.itch.io/one-page-solo-engine">One Page Solo Engine</a> to answer questions during play.</p> <p>My thief almost friggin died in the very first scenario. Yikes! Combat is lethal. <!-- END //--></p> </body> </html>
