I played it a bit more loosely but it's been pretty fun. I especially LOVE the motif fields we can fill up on our own (in fact I spent so much time filling up field after field, because i kept coming up with more motifs, way more than what was asked by your guideline XD). It's like we can gather up ingredients we love so that no matter what mix come up, the story would have our favorite tropes in it. Thank you a lot!
Thank you for the good words! I love to hear that you enjoy it 😊💖
The inspiration for the motifs table was triggered by (and named after, to honor this legacy) a somewhat similar one in Calypso (by katamoiran). It’s quite a different game, but if you liked this part, you might also possibly be interested to take a look at that one! 🙃 No promises though 😜 just sharing 🙂
(FWIW, just in case you might be open to sharing the stories you built, I’d totally love to read them - but also it’s absolutely not required! I super-highly respect private soloing - it needs to be the default mode of play, and is how I myself strongly prefer to play.)
Thanks for the link! I'll at least check it out, since I do want to learn about all kinds of TTRPG out there :3c
And no, I don't mind sharing my play session. True, many of games I play end up as personal story to me and I just share them to my closest people, but this one isn't that personal, and I'm just happy with playing with the motifs - so I don't mind sharing them. Here you go! :3
Whoah, I love the stories - and I’m having some chills reading them, super cool! 😄 Thank you for sharing!! Glimpses of an incredible world - exactly how the system worked for me - I’m super happy it also worked for you ☺️
EDIT: Ah; also, if you like gathering and mixing ingredients, and are interested in various Solo RPGs - I never played those, but I would suspect “Apothecaria” and “Koriko, the magical year” might possibly have some stuff like that. Also, otherwise, if you’re out on a hunt in general, my personal top by a mile favorite TTRPG for the time being is “Ironsworn: Starforged”… if looking for a more cosy and social variant, I heard people say good words about “Iron Valley”…
OH MY GOODNESS IRON VALLEY!! there was a few weeks after I discovered it that my life was consumed by Iron Valley and I had to hold myself from blabbering about it to everyone everywhere xDD I didn't play Ironsworn, but seeing that it was the engine for Iron Valley and also related to pbta, I went to check it out a bit on YT review.
Part of why I look around for more TTRPG to study, though, is because I'm also making my own game. There's a lot of elements I still need to work out, plus I always get more ideas for more games anyway, so studying other games is always nice...
and thus said, thanks for yet another recommendation! I'll surely check them out uwu)b
