I really wish more people talked about actual roleplaying, be it immersive, cinematic, or other (so long, as you say, it's actually playing a role and putting oneself in it), instead of just how stunning and random the new WotC module railroad is and how it's not cool to even know the rules of the game instead of Rule 0 etc. It feels like being a member in a secret tribe existing on the fringes of society lol. I have several pdfs for solo play. Mythic Game Emulator, Ironsworn, Worlds Without Number, and some others, and hexcrawl generators. I like the sophistication I expect from the SIZE of that FlexTale book. Really, I want to know these materials well enough to adapt all the tables to use that result to represent my own homebrew world. The contradiction then is in how a big part of what is appealing to me in solo rpg play is for the purpose of fleshing out the granular details, and my familiarity with those, of the homebrew world I want to use as a sandbox and living world for a big campaign... kind of a dilemma or almost a cache 22; can't get what I want from what's in the tables to use them for my homebrew, can't use my homebrew to build the tables because that needs tables... The most fun I've actually had using an oracle has been simple playing card deck cartomancy. Oracles DURING combat? Eh... breaks me out of it. I would determine the motivations, capabilities, armaments, attitudes, etc, of the combatants and then just roleplay each side. Heh... "I heard you like talking to yourself so now you can talk to yourself while you're talking to yourself" :D If I knew how to prompt I'd build my own AI memory archive and interact with that, tuning it (programming?) as I go. Might be easier to immerse into the character while I did it that way. Ayyyyy.... Ken Wickham has too many books. Can't joke around about Rolemaster as Tablemaster anymore after seeing all of Wickham's... Yeah, a bundle or a package deal or something would be interesting to see. Some of those pdfs are on sale now... hmm...
True, not enough people talk about roleplay, and a few that pretended to do so were or are doing something else. All roleplay is immersive, otherwise they are not "in the role"; the moment someone distances himself or herself from the role, they are no longer playing it. As long as they roleplay in first or third person, in the present, in the now, they are doing it right. When it comes to the tables, the trick is not to overthink when using them, and you will keep the flow of the game going. For instance, in the examples that I presented, I could have been like "what, climate tables? I'm not looking for that! Let's try something else". It's mainly being flexible, and adapting the tables and their results, to suit the needs of the fiction that is being produced. That's a good approach. You can run combat just based on context, one would only need to roll when they become "stuck", on what the combatants are attempting, their strategies and tactics.
Really appreciate this content - just started looking through the FlexTale toolkit lately, too. I've been enjoying 4 Against Darkness and d100 dungeon, and would like to add just a little more narrative and uncertainty to the game loops there.

Thanks for watching! That is actually a good idea; it's like adding a bit of spice, to an already delicious dish 👍
