All Things Solo

## Modes of Play

1. FGU Maps and Visual Aids: Self explanatory. You can combine this with other modes to keep things more spicy.
2. Theater of MIND: by simply imagining with your inner eye and thinking with your inner voice. You can use (ambiance) music without lyrics, prepared pictures to keep you in the mood and spark your imagination.
3. Typing into CHAT in character. FGU comes in handy for this. /gmid command changes your GM name to anything. And you can speak as any character. You can read your logs later with free Chatlog Viewer extension: https://forge.fantasygrounds.com/shop/items/1050/view The file it generates will be in your Campaign folder.
4. NARRATION: as in books and movies, either with inner voice or out-loud. Most youtube Solo Players uses this to literary effect, along with voice-overs of each character. If you want to keep track of your progress, you can combine this with any recording method.
5. JOURNALING in 1st or 2nd person perspective, only at the beginning and end of a scene to keep track of your progress. Keep it short to maintain a fast session flow. You can use free Scribe Extension for your BG story https://forge.fantasygrounds.com/shop/items/1106/view AND "Character Notes" Under "Player Category" at righthand side of FGU for the Journal. "Campaign Tab" within "Book Tab" under "Library Category" at the righthand side menu to copy your whole campaign. Then you can export your campaign into a module for sharing or publishing.
6. VIDEO / AUDIO RECORDING with various mix of these modes and Roleplay Styles I'll explain later.

• BONUS: I know most people doesn't like it, but there are also ways to utilize some AI TOOLS. I'll just say that you can use Speech to Text or Text to Speech for recording or voicing needs. I'm not well versed in this, so I won't share any links.

IMPORTANT: Decide which mode of play to use now to save time later in your first scene.

And that's it!

Jump right into the action!

And ONLY play the JUICY BITS with action and drama. Skip unnecessary details.
