Elena’s second face off with the Wan Brothers corp.

Elena’s second face off with the Wan Brothers corp.

Still continuing to use concordances, but now I’m mixing that up with using a Bayesian formula to come up with the odds of some things given facts established in the fiction (or made up on the spot, as needed). Bayes comes mostly into play when I have some assumptions about how the flow should go but don’t want to fiat things, or when I’ve constructed a potential flow out of concordances I’ve collected.

I’ve asked a few questions about using Bayesian inference as an Oracle of sorts here and on RPGNet. I’m still not sure I’m doing Bayesian inference correctly, but at least it looks like I’m getting consistent numbers to roll against. Feel free to chime in about that if you have any ideas.

Hello!

Hello!

As always, I somehow never find time to play, so things are progressing rather slowly.

Thus, I have decided to already upload my session report of the initial cut scene of my current #Libre #Solo #Roleplaying session (my first try at it). Despite being a first attempt, I am already bending things a bit as the mission is not handed down as an explicit mission, but rather as a need the PC wants to deal with out of her own free will.

Comments and hints are always welcome, of course.

Yours,

Deathworks

Remember Tomorrow – Maxim Wargentin vs AIWA Entertainment – Face Off Scene

Remember Tomorrow – Maxim Wargentin vs AIWA Entertainment – Face Off Scene

I’m continuing to use the same GM/Player dialogue format since it helps me immerse so well. I took on the GM role again since I have more knowledge right now than the character, Maxim, does.

As usual, I’ve put the complete actual play information on a spreadsheet, which is linked at the blog post.

Our Last Best Hope – The Killer Asteroid

Our Last Best Hope – The Killer Asteroid

End of Act 1 & Act 2 – Scene 1 – Hema & Catherine

Every character gets one more spotlight scene, so 3 scenes. Also three more Threats, which I’ll roll randomly after each scene.

Actual Play: Our Last Best Hope – The Killer Asteroid – Act 1 – Scene 4 – Taking on the Threat

Actual Play: Our Last Best Hope – The Killer Asteroid – Act 1 – Scene 4 – Taking on the Threat

I think this scene came out well. It was fun, in part because I got to engage more with the crunchy bits, and also got to engage with the parser (which output is the closest thing I’ve felt to roleplaying with someone, especially when the phrases pretty much demand no interpretation, or something close to that.)

Still using the text parser for dialogue and also now for a “Narrator” who might frame the scene. I’m using the the movie transcript text assigned to MIMIC (the MIMIC ‘voice’) for the Narrator and NPCs in this scene at least.

I’ve still had to occasionally dig deeper into the parsed text for phrases that fit the context, especially when the conversations relate to relationships between characters. Chalk that down to the downside of randomness and the contents of the movie transcripts. A well chosen or constructed text to parse might fix this but I’m committed to the texts I assigned.

This is my latest obsession. Has lots of cool ideas. Wonderful character creation. Awesome advice for the GM.

Need to playtest this further as it uses a strict turn order and I’m not sure if this is fun on the long run. But I’m smitten.

How to play a Published Adventure Solo, without worrying about spoilers, using Mythic Game Master Emulator.  

It even gives adventure modules you’ve already played a new lease of life my making them fresh, new and different, using Mythic.

Interestingly, this method would also work for adapting Movies, TV Series, Video Games, Short Stories, even Novels, into your own Adventure to play with Mythic.
