  • Hello and welcome back to artichoke dip in this video we’re gonna do a deep dive into how to use pre-published campaign settings and modules. Everything you need to know from beginning to end the hex crawl system, along with character backstory, and how to fit them all in to where when you’re done you will have a comprehensive system to sit down and solo with for years or months to come. It all depends upon your personal taste and what you want to do with it,with that being said I hope you enjoy the video And game on my friends

    A Batman knife, probably.
    Great video! I have tried solo playing in published settings and adventures before, but it always turns into a slog that burns me out. Now, I think I may try it again with a new set of approaches.

    Great topic! So many Solo vids I see are all bout generating a setting as you play. I want to solo in established settings. I feel like it would be faster than always rolling for what is in the ‘next hex’.

    Thanks for this one man, can't wait for more. Super stoked to see some 3.0 content!
    When you said something about a spaceship getting your characters there, I immediately thought of a spelljammer crash. Your idea was way cooler.

    Hello i like your content but, plz balance your voice volume to the intro volume. it's a near death experience when you try to hear what you're sayin and mistakenly scoll back to the intro or come across an interlude ....BAAABAAAAAAM there you have it! :) keep up the good work.

      Thank you very much as far as the volume I have yet to figure that out if it was on my editing software side or UA-cam’s side either way I have stopped using that sound effect for videos game on my friend

    Love the video, very happy about the tips! Will try them out! Never hexcrawled before but it seems so fun
    One suggestion about the vid itself if you made the music during the transitions between topics a bit quieter it would be much less jumpscare like haha

    FYI - the music stings between sections are so much louder than your voice. It’s quite jarring and can be uncomfortable if the volume is loud enough to make your relaxing voice a good level
    I enjoy your videos other than that issue, thanks for making them

    • @artichokedip9150

      Yeah I noticed that after it was uploaded the editing software does not give you any options for volume which is why I dont use them very often. But considering this system was 3E I wanted to make it look like a early 90's RPG video game cut scene. But I am glad you enjoyed it and game on my friend

      I don't use Fb, but you should totally link Frank Mentzer to your BASIC videos. He would probably appreciate someone showing off RedBox, specially the 3d dungeon you made.

    Thanks for doing this. The main thing I took away from this is how important it is to have a plan. One "game" I've been using lately is Jumpchain. It comes from Choose Your Own Adventure games, it is a solo game, it is free, and it has absolutely no respect for Intellectual Property rights. There are thousands of books, comic books, movies, anime, manga, and RPG settings you can use in this game and it's really fun. Of course, I use 3.5 rules with it, and that complicates things, but I can go to Final Fantasy 7 for ten years, then go to Superman The Animated Series for another ten years, and so on. My chances of survival are good, since I have a Gamer System to help me out. That's another great thing about solo play: I can be the munchkiniest munchkin and min/max to my heart's content and nobody will accuse me of being "that guy".

    Good topic & info here Arti! And your video looks good & the sound was good but the music during the transition cards was much louder than your voice, a bit jarring. Not complaining, just pointing it out. Again, helpful hex crawling info in this video & use of imagination whether using light or heavy rules.

    Not sure if you know about 'the Augur' I recommend it for a solo play (also works as a GM's journal) uses Ai as well.... now I'll keep watching how you do this.

    If you read through the campaign, do you feel any plot surprises are ruined? I’m more interested in investigation and intrigue over a pure crawl . I feel I’d have trouble with meta-gaming if I knew too much. Interested in your views.

    I spent a lot of time in the army learning how to navigate with a map and a compass. What if I use just regular grid squares instead of hexes? You could have North, South, East, and West plus the corners for eight directions. You could use longitude and latitude for locations. Or is it some RPG convention that says it has to be hexes?

    • @artichokedip9150
      @artichokedip9150  4 місяці тому +1

      Use whatever is the easy for you I choose hex grids because this is the most widley used system in tabletop gaming thses days. The purpose behind the hex grid technique was to explain the concept nothing is written in stone. Instead of a d6 a d8 can be used if your characters lose there way. To make it as simple as possible its your game your table do it as you see fit. Game on my friend.
