    My #1 discovery of Cypher system is something most people sort of understand and yet routinely overlook: Just how eloquent the static levels truly are. And as such, just how easy and meaningful it can be to step back and just play around with the NPCs. Sure the PCs are the random element that upsets the carefully planned out scenario. That the entire scenario itself could be adjudicated even with the PCs absent. Some random citizen of level 2 might be very much in danger from the Thug of level 3 in normal cases, but get enough level 2 folk together and they could take that Thug. This is why I also determined that the level 6 Assassin in the red book has to be at the very peak of training, so someone who is a mere level 2 or 3 is unlikely to be their target. All by "soloing" the NPCs and their static levels. This is how I know exactly how dangerous the level 7 dragon might be to some villagers even as I determine how not dangerous they are to the dragon. However, 4 level 4 knights working together in a quest against the dragon may very well defeat it. The "numbers game" of comparing and contrasting the levels and resulting static difficulty numbers practically write a story on their own.

    Interesting video I tried out some solo play using The Garden of Ynn (a product not for Cypher) which is Depthcrawl, an easy method to create a dungeon like experience. I think with some procedural play you can run the game solo, the Jade Colossus book has a way to make dungeon like structures... but there are other types of structures that could work too.

    When I heard about solo rpg, I thought it was so weird. But the way you talked about it made me consider doing it. You can learn how interpretation isn't the same as acting, and that not all metagame is bad, and could even be useful, when to use it and when not. The narrator is already supposed to "be a fan of the characters", challenging them even while hoping they succeed. Changing the subject, do you know why there are no rules for breathing anywhere besides numenera's into the deep? It's such a useful mechanic, and the core system does have rules for underwater combat.

    • @THEINFINITECONSTRUCT
      @THEINFINITECONSTRUCT 2 месяца назад

      i'm not as familiar with the breathing mechanic. it strikes me as similar to the hacking rules of the datasphere supplement. but you raise a good point that underwater scenarios are probably more common. this is a reminder that i should take a look at that book again!

    Great video! Thanks for posting! I think I would disagree with you a bit about the status of solo play. I don’t see it as the lesser practice compared to playing with others, but rather a fully legitimate and stand alone way to play. In many cases I have found solo far more engaging and enjoyable than playing games with others. Don’t get me wrong-I love the collective improvisation of large groups, but it is hard to beat the focus and immersion of a solo game!

    @MrMeddyman 2 месяца назад

    ayyy yooo this is literally exactly what I'm doing right now! What a timely topic for your return. I found the difficult thing to do is to preserve yourself from "spoilers" as this is the one function a GM can do that a player cannot, act as a repository for information, the best I've come up with is using Roll20's maps that would need to be set up and translated from corebooks or scratch as a 3rd party and then load you'd yourself in as a player to run the games alone, with some amount of "self-GMing" when necessary. It's like you said this is basically just a guided attempt to write your own fiction, but it's harder to enjoy something like Liminal Shores or other "mystery focused campaigns", when the whole conceit of something Liminal Shores demands that you know what's going on in Liminal Shores as a foreword if that makes sense. I really want to play without GM knowledge or at least, as little knowledge as possible up until the moment I MUST know something a GM would only know so it feels liek a story and you get that player experience.

    I did this! Well, I played Numenera solo anyway, with a slightly different approach. It was experimental and I don't think I'd do it the same way again. Essentially, I created a solo character with some followers and explored the Jade Colossus. The follower rules I used didn't exactly match those in the book (rather from a blog post by another solo RPGer), which likely was a mistake for me. I also used the Mythic GME, which helped a bit but certainly never felt necessary. All this to say, I'm very excited to see how your approach works, partly because you're already avoiding some of the things that didn't work well for me and partly because I am so glad to see you back here. Best wishes!!
