Curious how you include skills and or powers in CGM. Do you include it in the what if questions?

I agree, we may have on the same tabletops, no? My handle on discord is Valdus1992, hope to see you on. 

thing changed my life. Now you know how. 

I wrote a review on my sometime blog of CGM

https://dungeonbook.blogspot.com/2026/07/the-cryptic-gamemaster-absolutely.html

This is becoming a suite of useful features. I am glad I jumped on!

Funny, the clearer font is the reason it’s in the binder. Great stuff I use it with the  Cryptic Gamemaster.

Great set of tables. I have a few questions…

Why not use the number 9? 

Does a fantastic chance mean you score a boon from 1-4? 

Why not make the Solo Table d100? I travel a lot with my games, and usually only have a d10. 

But this list is part of my permanent binder. 

Oh no, I didn’t mean that it needs refining. This is done, it’s great, and it has already served as a basis for play. 

Asking the CGM for everything, may throw things for a loop (if that is what you like, great). I like the idea of you decide the world, the oracle decides chance. It is an elegant balance that should be preserved. 

Now with a diceroller on your wrist, an adventure can be played almost instantly. 

This is so simple and elegant that I feel compelled to use it. I may use this mechanic to replace the one in 4AD- clunky as it is. 

I like how this continually developing, just going to let it go, no suggestions, and see where this solo-explorer goes!

Do you plan on expanding it? It appears quite complete but I was just curious. Dang. I wish I had found your work sooner, it would have saved me a lot of searching and buying. 

I made a random dungeon word generator for just such an occasion.

I believe your work has broken me from the chains of rpg. The need to use everything at your disposal. The CGM boldly tells me that nothing is required, only the mind. 

Thanks, I can’t wait to take it for a test drive. 

I would say, either or, or both. But really, you have something truly great here. I have the Mythic app and may import the tables into Solo Explorer (and there are a lot of them. I look forward to seeing what comes up in SE. 

I have played with every VTT out there. Foundry, Mythic, PUMC, Sojourn, this one is the one that is most like writing. The prompts and maps do not get in your way at all. 
One question, is there a way to have a blank map and fill it on your own?

community copies available? 

I’ve wanted to get into this game for so long and look what I found! Thanks!

I have been using the I Ching for thirty odd years. What you created is spot on- wonderful. What I have learned is to hell with tradition, if you got something good, it moves you, then keep going with it- the sages would do the same. 

Now if you change the orientation to bottom to top- does that change the hexagram section?

I would like to discuss the various complexities of the Yi with you. Your game caused to think of the oracle of change

One question, should the hero be the upper trigram? Lower trigram represents the terrestrial and what is more known. And if that changes does the whole theme of the hexagram section change (to the opposite)? 

oh manoman good folks out there in the Wasteland; we got a new way of blasting super mutants and a better way of picking locks- 2477!!!!!

Now let’s here the latest from the Inkspots!

How is this related to "Ask the Stars"?

Inspired by Minimo (a que bien espanol!), I added the "positivizing" the blank roll with a fudge point into my own Fudging of Fudge called Fudgeon Crawl!

I think you have something incredibly simple but so awesome. It has put me to sleep every night for a week. And I mean that in a good way. 

Hope to see you on the Revolution Discord.

This is ground-breaking in its simplicity. Alas, a return to the original wheel!

Have you heard of the Randomless Revolution or this

Best!

Looking for a sample or perhaps even a community copy here. 
I’ll buy it but if it’s thin or baseless to me; you’ll know it. 

Permission to come aboard, Captain?

What is this about? Sample please?

For the Beastiary, I think you pick where to put the number on which skill. 

Does one use all the tarot cards? I imagine looking for the Fool amongst 78 cards?

This just blew my mind. So relaxing. Would it ever be possible to have tarot deck. 

awesome, that would be great. Quite a response!

I am not trying to print them but load them on a virtual tabletop. It may just be a cut and paste session where all cards are facing the same direction. 

I am rather interested in that hard back; Ill write a review on the blog too. 

The sheet for the cards has some cards facing in another direction, not sure how to tell TP to change that. 

There is great possibility in this system. What you did with the tarot cards is truly amazing. 

Does this include your dungeon generation system?

Finally, is there a way to have all the cards on one sheet, or at least in one direction (for tabletop playground)?

I am trying to understand the prompt-branch system. Is there a list of prompts missing? 

Writing can be a finicky IU thing can it not? 

Is there a demo somewhere?

I have often thought of your suggestion. I might do it, but for now I like the mystery of my version of the table. 

Different symbols? I wonder, imagine if we all collected our own symbols and compared it to one another? 

Sagely no?

Exciting news that there is interest. Right I am using Zettlr (which is great) but I really liked the "Randominding" (yes, its a word now) that I get from Opuscule. Reboot, sequel, Ill take it. I wish to all the heavens there was some way I can contribute but...

In any case, Yes, let us hope. And in the end, Opuscule is useable, it is a completed project, tremendously. So thank you for that. 

Awesome, like most of your stuff. I started with a good old fashioned dungeon-crawling company. The COOK is the hero!

Any chance at physical copies?
