Utility Tables in Chaos Solo Engine
Combat is a chaotic event where many things can happen. For solo play it's useful to have some combat actions for creatures to surprise you, combat events to add outside agency and terrain your characters can use.
Chaos Solo Engine aims to act as a companion to the player(s) when playing solo. Answering questions, helping with ideas, structuring scenes, and guiding ongoing play.
The upcoming Chaos Solo Engine -Complete has an array of tables for various fantasy themes, including settings of City, Dungeon, Hinterlands, Otherworld, Sea and Wilderness.
There is also a pay-what-you-want pdf of core tables in on Drive Thru RPG as Chaos Solo Engine - Fantasy Basic.
