Great advice. Im a new viewer and like your approach. I use micro chapbook rpg and mythic gm emulator. I really love solo rpg but usually go freestyle. I have noticed that without a pre-made adventure, my encounters and game play lean more toward a mental campaign. I blame this on my own aptitude as a writer ( I love character development.) Even combat seems less crunchy because I imagine the interactions a d dynamics in the monsters too. I even had a grumpy ankheg in one, but as beasts, ankhegs have no inherent personality. Maybe more pre-made adventures would help with this. I love the Me Myself and Die channel for great dynamic solo game play examples.
Would you mind doing a video where you do an example of how you go about playing a pre-written module? Ones that are just a dungeon crawl are kind of strait forward, but how do you approach modules that contain a story arch?
I will have to contemplate that one. Yes, it is way different with a story which is why I didn’t show something like Curse of Strahd or Rhyme of the Frostmaiden.
