Hi. I tried to google before asking, but no dice.

How do Just One Torch and Just One Sword different?

when would you use one vs the other?

Thanks in advance (i've used just one torch a bit when playing PBP duo briefly)

also: any chance of there ever being an actual-play type of tutorial via blog or video? those always help understand how these ru

Just One Sword is a complete, solo-first, standalone game that does not require anything else to play. It has all the rules, procedures, tools, Bestiary, oracles, etc.  necessary to make the game run.  It is not a supplement or toolkit. 

Just One Torch is a toolkit for taking an existing OSR RPG (Shadowdark, OSE, BFRPG,  Whitebox FMAG, etc.) and converting it into a solo game.  It is primarily oracles, a few procedure changes, and some recommended adjustments to make your game of choice more survivable.  It is not a full game and will require a game of your choice to run.

thanks for taking the time to reply!


we were playing Shadowdark so perhaps in makes sense why partnered brought in JOT.


thanks, cheers!
