I'm going to have to work on that. <br /><br />Are you a native German speaker or do you just like to play in whatever language the game book is in?AdventureMaterialshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16285640430049907816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8714327904580798843.post-9436058155904821942022-01-22T11:23:23.241+00:002022-01-22T11:23:23.241+00:00I've been playing a fair bit.

Conversations get written out more than other narrative bits, but in a extremey messy way (little punctuation, very little 'he said, she said' to denote change of speaker -- which forces me to give the characters unique voices). I do make sure to note any mechanical notes about my solo-play process, especially the ones I make up on the spot.<br /><br />I need to someday finish my original Traveller adventure. My current Traveller game is totally separate, and unfortunately the notes are all in German (I splurged on a copy of the deluxe full-colour edition that 13 Mann put out). My Magic World campaign is both a continuation and an adventure with a new character, the result of my nameless heroine meeting a random person in the street who I found interesting enough to warrant an adventure of their own as background.Alea iactanda esthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17951704235056042923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8714327904580798843.post-90486898927144013612022-01-22T01:08:32.735+00:002022-01-22T01:08:32.735+00:00Well, I vote for Traveller if it's all the sam...Well, I vote for Traveller if it's all the same to you ;-) It's been a long time and I've been on a sci-fi kick (playing the new Starforged ironsworn spinoff). All of those other games are great too though! Is it a continuation of your other Magic World game or a new character?<br /><br />Does that mean you've been playing, at least, just not writing them up? How verbose are you in your notes if you have to translate them later for the blog? Are they just question and result, or question-result-terse narration, etc? I've been trying in the last few weeks to work on playing and recording just notes, rather than playing while typing everything up. Certainly moves the adventure along a little faster, but it's tricky for me to feel like the game is real if I don't write everything down as I play.AdventureMaterialshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16285640430049907816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8714327904580798843.post-87458535553745749942022-01-20T11:46:57.352+00:002022-01-20T11:46:57.352+00:00Things have been super busy in real life, and comb...Things have been super busy in real life, and combined with the vicissitudes of living on Plague Island it's resulted in severe writer's block. I've got tons of notes waiting to be turned into something readable (AFF, Silent Legions, Traveller, Magic World...). Hopefully I'll get something written up soon!<br /><br />I hope you're well.Alea iactanda esthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17951704235056042923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8714327904580798843.post-1395640273746669942022-01-13T03:48:40.344+00:002022-01-13T03:48:40.344+00:00Hey there, hope things have been going well over t...Hey there, hope things have been going well over there!

To be honest I was avoiding reading the last ones so that I would always have more to come! But here we are at the last post, so I just wanted to leave a thank you note that hopefully you’d be likely to see. I’ve read many solo blogs since discovering the concept and yours is by far the best, in my opinion. I love the rules detail, the characters, the descriptions and the whimsy.<br /><br />Noticing that you haven’t posted in more than a month so I hope all is well, and while selfishly I hope you will be posting more, if you have decided to hang up your dice or take an extended break, may this note reach you with my gratitude and best wishes. <br /><br />Cheers!<br /><br />GGolden119https://www.blogger.com/profile/12003267986176002802noreply@blogger.com
