Soy muy fan de un juego: Four against Darkness. También lo soy de su autor, que además tiene un apellido molón: #Sfiligoi. Es un Dungeon crawler que se juega con dados de 6 caras y papel cuadriculado . Es buenísimo, tiene mogollón de material adicional escrito e ilustrado por el autor y con imágenes de stock. PERO, acaba de sacar la edición revisada, que mola mucho, pero con bastantes imágenes generadas con #IA. Serán como un 20% del total, el resto son dibujadas por el autor ¿Que necesidad había?

When it comes to #SoloRPG play, it seems most people either play dedicated solo games like #IronSworn or #4AD, or they're playing some rules-light yet traditional #TTRPG like some #OSR variant.

Meanwhile, I'm over here playing #PathFinder2e solo. Granted, I only play with one PC. If I had a full party, I'd probably go with something lighter. I do enjoy the occasional #FourAgainstDarkness game.

I am so glad it is not just me! 😅

I recently got interested in solo rpgs and read a few rule books, among them "Four Against Darkness". And at least for the moment, I completely bounced off of it, due to the "structure" (lack thereof) and contradictions in the rules.

But I am still interested in it, and will try it out at least once at some point!

Vendredi après-midi, je me suis replongé dans Four Against Darkness… et quelle claque ! 🎲📜

Un jeu minimaliste mais incroyablement riche, où l'exploration et l'inattendu créent des aventures uniques à chaque partie. Entre stratégie, improvisation et narration, difficile de ne pas se laisser happer.

Qui d’autre ici est fan de 4AD ? Quels sont vos meilleurs souvenirs de jeu ? 🏰⚔️

Did some #FourAgainstDarkness last night. First proper play through after learning the rules.

Finally got to play a "game" of #FourAgainstDarkness on my graph paper notebook, it was fun! It took me around 2 hours to finish this dungeon, having the room generation rolls in the middle of the book and the rolls for what happens after entering the rooms in the back is very impractical, I wasted some time flipping pages but what are you gonna do. I didn't make too many mistakes either this time, although I rolled on the vermin table instead of the minions one a couple of times, oops.

#TTRPG

Finally got to play my first #FourAgainstDarkness game, what a mess, I forgot to add defense bonuses for shield and armor but still managed to get out of the dungeon with most of the party alive — only the rogue died. Being a stickler I started from scratch trying to better follow the rules for the next game, the results? I failed to save versus a Medusa's gaze and my whole party perished...

Here's the 2nd dungeon, I didn't have graph paper so I draw my dungeon using a website ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Just ordered #FourAgainstDarkness

One thing that I've been thinking about including in my #FourAgainstDarkness #SoloRPG supplement is a personality and love/relationships system for PCs and NPCs. A system where, as your PCs interact more and more with NPCs, you get to know their personality. This means that aspects of their personality are randomized at the table as you interact with them, then made permanent. Perhaps they'll end up being compatible with your PCs, or perhaps it wasn't meant to be?
#TTRPG #4AD

I'm facing an interesting challenge with this project. I want my #FourAgainstDarkness sandbox generator supplement to have something... unique. Something which makes it special. But I'm not yet sure what that would be. I have procedures for generating hexmaps and settlements now. One option could be to also have a subhex map generator for a more zoomed in view, like an outdoor dungeon if you will. We'll see. I'll probably do that, but I feel like I also need something more.
#4AD #TTRPG

Despite its apparent simplicity, #FourAgainstDarkness continues to intrigue me. Now, I'm writing rules I call #FourAgainstTheSandbox which allows for overland #HexMap generation as you explore. I also want to write rules for generating settlements that you can find or build yourself as a management and worker placement minigame. Basically, I want simple rules that allows for the creation of an entire sandbox with landscapes, settlements, and dungeons.
#4AD #TTRPG

@christian next category would be gm-less storygames. Afaik many of those start at 1-2 players or can be adapted to work like that. But I don't know too many (others, jump in!).
There's also some made specifically for two players, like #StarCrossed.

Solo stuff can also be great for couples. In addition to those you named,
I have also done "choose your own path" books with my gf. There's a load of those around.

If you like something more "boardgamey", maybe take a look at #FourAgainstDarkness.

I've recently gotten back into playing the solo tabletop game Four Against Darkness.

This game seems to model itself after early DND, with the simple dungeons, and variety of monsters and traps, as well as the constant vulnerability (especially against Medusa!). I love that it can be played solo or multiplayer. I also love the artwork as well.

@Monzz I gave up early on. I was actually playing a solo dungeon crawler, #FourAgainstDarkness and exploring one room per day.

I quickly realised how much time that would take and stopped at the end of January 😀

#fouragainstdarkness is also great in duo - we currently play coop board game style (i.e. no GMing or storytelling) to recap the rules. Probably will do it more #ttrpg style for the next adventure afterwards (which will most likely be The Darkness Of Kokras Tharn.

Man, I like the game, but the book is so badly structured. You have to search around the book for something all the time. Would be even a lot worse without the printed table pages I prepared 😣

@kensanata It’s such a good tool for solo rpg’s kilt #FourAgainstDarkness and #MorkBorg #SolitaryDefilement.

Today's #TTRPG: Four Against Darkness. Great game. The book could be a little better organized, though.
#FourAgainstDarkness #SoloRPG

I've taken an interest in #SoloRPG dungeon crawling games lately. #NoteQuest is nice, but combat is a bit simplistic in my view. Looking at #FourAgainstDarkness now which looks promising. The fact that you have four chars and not just one allows for more depth. I also backed the #2d6Dungeon Kickstarter which has another week to go - it seems to have the best combat system. #D100dungeon also looks great and has a supplement for #HexCrawling, which also interests me.

Up until this week, while working on my #Dungeon23 challenge, I haven't actually drawn any actual dungeons.

With my dice rolls so far, I've encountered some ruins and a keep (some you can see in a previous post), but I've now discovered a dungeon and I've started mapping it out.

And oh how fun it is! I've mapped out dungeons while playing #FourAgainstDarkness and its tables, but this is the first that's all freehand. This has definitely been an entertaining and creative challenge.
