Chaos Solo Engine - Fantasy Basic
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.
It is designed to be lightweight, flexible and give surprises. Chaos Solo Engine can be paired with text prompts, d100 spark tables, story dice and other ways of giving ideas.
The Fantasy Basic version has a few tables to help with ideas and getting started. The Fantasy Complete version has more random tables and options for customisation.
There is a pdf of these tables and the full solo emulator on Drive Thru RPG as Chaos Solo Engine - Fantasy Basic.
