RPG Update (43)

Another important topic I've encountered during my solo play in Blade Runner RPG.

The third thing is that when You play in solo mode in a new game, You can take Your time and read the rules as many times as you need. It is important, that you've got that whole time. Playing with real people searching for some particular rule can kill the momentum, your immersion, and players' engagement. So this is my time to learn the mechanics of this game. So now I know how to run it more appropriately than three months ago. Also, I've got time to since in the atmosphere of that book, and by gods! there is a lot of atmosphere on that pages. So You can sometimes waste your time during play just to stare at one illustration of the page. 

As for illustration for this post, I'm giving You an A.I. rendition of a Police Tower at sunset. Two versions. Don't know which one is better.

Here is my other post about solo roleplaying in Blade Runner RPG. 

Second, an essential thing is consistency.  For the first time for me, I was coming back weekend after weekend to see what was going on. Solo Roleplaying is somewhat different from regular games. When You play with other people You must be on time, You have to be prepared, even if You are a Player, with solo RPG it is difficult because You always say to Yourself: Maybe I will play tomorrow? but in many cases that tomorrow never comes. So consistency was the thing that killed almost every other attempt of solo RPG in my case. The sheer love of the setting and both films (the first one more of course) was the trigger the glue that stuck me to this game for so long time. OR maybe the fact, that even from the start, when I created those two Player Characters, I wanted to know what was their story, what was their relationship with themself and with the world around them. So when Saturday was coming, I just couldn't wait to sit with books, dices, character sheets, and my laptop, to write another part of their story. 

P.S. I've already edited my 47-page document. Now I'm working on graphics for a couple of places they went during this investigation. Here is one, the Ripple.

RPG Update (41)

For the last 3 months every Saturday and Sunday morning, I played my solo Blade Runner RPG game for at least an hour each. Last Saturday I ended this story. It was a great game on many different levels. So let me share with You my experience in the next couple of blogposts.

First, I would never have started playing in such a thing if I had never stumbled upon this page. From there I learned some tricks on how to play in Blade Runner RPG without any rules. So I've spoken with the author of this site on Blade Runner RPG discord. From there I gleaned some of his tools for playing solo. With my own rulebook and quickstart rules and of course, new characters I've created for this game and no chances for normal gameplay (my young one still is going to sleep between 11 p.m. and midnight) what else can I do? So I went straight ahead. First of all, I've read the whole thing and I'm still doing it on the page I mentioned above. And with the tools that the author gave to those on Discord, I've started playing. It wasn't easy, but in the end, it paid off. 

Here You got a Midjourney rendition of my two main characters:

It isn't adequate from the original pictures, because I've created them with another A.I. graphic site.
