    PART III - Theory of Solo Combat Strategy & Tactics

    Strategy
    Strategy is the art of planning, organizing and directing overall military operations and movements in combat. It differs from tactics by staying on the theory side of things. In terms of game play, it is your overall plan to achieve your main goal by going through level progression and directing your efforts into winning your battles until the last boss is dead. This is done by thinking in terms of logistics:

  2. Theater of Mind in Combat

    ToM is a mental visualization technique in case you don't have access to maps. I wrote this as part of the Combat Guide Series but you can also use it to Roleplay.

    The Art of Imagination

    Visual Imagination is kinda tricky. It can't be taught easily, you either have it or don't. But Theater of Mind doesn't just mean conjuring images before your eyes from descriptions. If you can't "see" descriptions with your inner eyes, you can "hear" them! Simply tell ...

  3. Solo Combat Strategy Guide Part II

    Gather 'round strong domini and sublime dominas, as I reveal to you the Art of Solo Warfare. Your humble instructor will not tell you mere ways to swing a sword, mind you.

  4. Solo Combat Strategy Guide Part I

    I briefly explained what meta game is in How to Play Published Adventures. This is the biggest immersion breaker in Solo Combat, maybe even more than RPing alone because being both GM and Player feels like cheating to some.

    As a solution, I see myself as the Dominus of an Arena ...

  5. Gwydion's 2d6 Dungeon Quick Start Guide

    Today's guide is for Gwydion's Free 2d6 Dungeon Conversion (Level 1 Only) in Xcore ruleset. It is originally from Toby Lancaster's DR Games. A great entry point to olden times' gritty and action packed Dungeon Crawlers. Soloing it can also teach you how to be a GM and create dungeons and encounters on-the-fly.

    It'll require you to draw randomly generated dungeon rooms and their contents (in text) into the starting map, depending on random rolls. You can also use your favorite dungeon ...
