Hey thank you! I am definitely considering making a series where the adventure starts in the wilderness and ends in a dungeon, that way I'll have all three solo modes covered!

Unless I am missing something, Ralva used her main action to summon her spirit, then she used her fray die on the skeleton and he took 1 HD of damage (she is allowed to use her fray attacks on powerful enemies since she is a magic-user). Then, the spirit companion attacked the bats and killed one.

@@ValTheVideomancer Before the spirit attacks, you say 4 bats remains or something, hence my confusion. Anyways, thanks for the series, I will be following with great enthusiasm.

In this case I attacked them individually because I rolled on the fight difficulty table (p.121) and it called for 3 rabble +1 veteran, so I needed 4 separate enemies. However, in some of my other adventures I have treated smaller enemies as pack creatures (ex: rats) where each "pack" would represent more than one creature, and I would have the pack share a single pool of HD. So basically you could do both ways, but to keep things balanced during urban adventures I would try sticking with the stats and number of enemies found in the tables from page 121.

Good question, I tried to find the answer in the rules but I couldn't find anything definitive. Here's how I would resolve this. In this example I would treat it as a new plotline. Ex: ''defeat the magician'' is crossed out every time it appeared, but you add one entry of ''defeat the zombie magician'' to your plotlines. This would be the way to do it if you are starting a new plotline when you roll for the character to return. But if the magician were to come back during another plotline (ex: Find the lost treasure), then it might work better to keep the returning character tied to the plotline you (re-)invoked him in. In this example, while the magician may have been its own plotline before, now you have to beat him again to get the treasure. TL;DR: 1. If the character returns during a turning point of ''new plotline'' then you can create a new plotline with a similar objective. 2. If the character returns during a ''plotline development'' then the character is now part of the selected plotline, so you will have to deal with them in one way or another to resolve this plotline.

@@ValTheVideomancer as I want to use it in comics books super heroes ttrpg (if I found a system I like) I would want ennemies to go back. For exemple : spidey have stories where he beat Sandman in one panel, other in a full book and other in a full story arc. He even help spidey sometime. An in Batman as long you didn’t have a corp you shouldn’t be sure Joker can’t came back, an Arkham adylium seem a place very easy to break out from.

@@joellechanu7789Since you are looking mainly for characters to come back, the rules may work well as they are. Otherwise, you could always make a list just for supervillains, and when it feels appropriate to invoke a character from that list, you roll specifically on it. Since you never want them to be completely gone, you just never cross their names from the list. And if they get defeated/killed in the adventure, then you just say they are out for the time of this adventure, unless a meta plot point brings them back.

My answer may not be exact because I only read through mythic 1st edition, but as far as I know, they simplified the fate chart and tweaked a bunch of things, and they added the meaning tables. I think the first edition had a more complicated fate chart that allowed people to play the game more as a standalone rpg.

Thank you!

Thank you! And good suggestion, I remember watching some people from the yogscast playing Microscope RPG a few years ago. It looks pretty cool!

I have not played FATE, but it looks like an interesting system to read about. I am adding it to my list of suggestions! It seems like a good system for solo RPGing because the character sheet looks simple. Usually, it's good to use a simpler RPG for solo play because you spend less time in the rulebooks, and more time on your story. Also, I think I can still give you some basic solo tips. If you choose to play with the adventure crafter, you could check out pages 6-7, and use the system as an "adventure seed", or "as needed". I find it's a good way to get a lot out of those rules without ending up spending too much time on planning the story. Now, when you get to the adventure itself, I think it's good to have something to answer yes or no questions. In the past I have covered: the "Loom of Fate" (p.7) from CRGE, the "Fate Chart" (p.20) from Mythic (2nd Ed), and the "Yes or No? Oracle" from Scarlet Heroes (p.115). There is also a pretty good free oracle that I have yet to cover called "'(Another) Yes/No Oracle" by Gustavo Coelho. This kind of tool is pretty much necessary to play solo rpgs because it adds an element of surprise! Turns out, it's unanticipated events which make a solo adventure feel engaging and challenging like a traditional TTRPG with a game master.

Thanks for the tips! I'm gonna put them to use. And looking forward to seeing your breakdown of FATE core. The official site has the core rulebook and other stuff, FREE :). So much supplemental material to expound upon the core rulebook, I wish they included it.

I'm glad you like my videos and got value out of this one! For the moment I do not have a discord community, but that is definitely something I will consider if/when this channel gets bigger. Feel free to ask any specific questions in the comments! Sometimes I will just answer people as a direct reply, but at other times people's questions become the basis for a video.

Thank you! It's probably a mixture of accents lol. I was born in France but live in Quebec. I learned english partially from school in Quebec and from watching online videos and movies

@@ValTheVideomancer Ah that was my guess! Je suis francais aussi mais du nord du Maine donc mon francais est horrible lol!

Thank you! And I agree that the chaos factor is a weak side of Mythic. I feel like it does not always fit with the mood I am going for in a given scene. What I usually do is to take a bit more control over the chaos factor than you are supposed to. I will still make it go up or down if I think the scene was especially chaotic or if I think it put order in things, but I will keep it as it is if I think it wasn't clearly one way or the other. I think it keeps chaos a bit more stable. Also, usually I will word things so the most dramatic or exciting thing will happen if I get a "yes", even if it's not always in my character's favor.

It's in the official rules, I believe it's in the section just before the Bestiary.

Thank you!

I am glad you find my content useful!

I have played around with those only a little bit so far, but I will try to go back to them and make a future video about it!

I'm not sure there is a "best" way. Progress tracker is an extremely general mechanic, so it can be used in many different ways. I don't know if it's possible to exhaust the possibilities. Consider two extremes: 1) inspired by Ironsworn: a journey requiring multiple segments of successful travel, pick the number of boxes on the tracker based on the length of the journey, and flashpoints could be opportunities where success means extra progress awarded (faster travel). 2) inspired by PUM (Plot Unfolding Machine): a progress tracker is used to identify the boundaries of the entire adventure (which might span several sessions), where flashpoints indicate major "plot twists".

I am glad I could help!

​@@ValTheVideomancer Something else I tend to have a problem with are threads, when are you supposed to interact with them and when aren't you? As I will be working towards resolving a thread when a random event will then interact with it. Am I only supposed to interact with threads when the random events tell me to, or can I interact with them as I please, given normally I expect players to always be trying to interact with "threads" so I find their presence as random events weird? Kind of like a gm trying to redirect the game in opposition to players interest?

To make things simpler I would convert them into traits as much as possible. You can also add them with minimal modifications (like spells), and follow the normal conditions for gaining them, but it would make your character more powerful so you would need to account for that when balancing fights.

Glad to hear my video helped you! Personally I like Mythic a lot, but it can get very overcomplicated. CRGE is very lightweight and elegant in comparison, I find it's just a bit more random.

Thank you! And I should start my coverage of the Adventure crafter pretty soon! Will most likely be using it next time I do an adventure like this

Hey thank you Gabelin! Yeah, Marcus really proved his worth in those last few episodes xD. And to think just days earlier he almost got killed by that Kappa! I am glad to hear that this inspired you to start a series of your own! Honestly, what took the longest was generating and animating all those AI generated images! But now I am loving the AI images for illustrating fantasy adventures. In the next few months I will be going back to the rules videos for a bit, but I am already excited to make the next RPG story!

@@ValTheVideomancer Awesome, can't wait to see what you have in store next.

I would give it a shot if I were you. Just like you I didn't care about the setting, so I just used everything else and it worked great. It's really easy to play fantasy settings, but with a little bit more work you could play other genres

Thank you! And that's very interesting I will have to check all these out!

@@ValTheVideomancer you're welcome! Do check these out 😊

Thank you neighbor!

Thank you! I used Dungeon Scrawl. I haven't used it a ton, but it served me well in these last few videos

Thank you! It has really evolved into a passion project for me so I am glad people are enjoying it!

Good idea, I'll see if I can incorporate it in the next "rules" video

@@ValTheVideomancer thank you. I enjoy your "teaching" videos.
