The perilous wilds is the best supplement ever! You can run an entire campaign solo using just that and a basic set of rules.

[@JB-js4xi]

I love White Box and it's super affordable. Can't even get a meal in fastfood for that price. I also like the size of the book. 👍

[@mattjackson]

I think I’ve purchased about 10 copies of the book!

[@VMSelvaggio]

Punji Sticks!!!!

[@BanditsKeep]

Very cool, I’ve used that dungeon deck for a quick game with my group, using it for solo play is a great idea!

[@perkinsdearborn4693]

Thanks for the video. I am using Old School Essentials and One Page Solo Engine by Karl Hendricks. I normally DM for 1 to 5 players. My intention for doing solo is to try out rules, get new ideas, and have some quick fun on my own when people are not available.

[@saulgoodman7858]

And if you didn't DM for others and prefered to play simply because your prefer your own company to that of others. I'm here for you.

[@BrutorzBill]

Perilous Wilds is a great book

[@lisawalls4194]

I use Cairn the way you use perilous wilds! This video is great!

[@retrodmray]

Really cool stuff you're using there! 👌 Fast, simple, easy to use!

[@purityspiral662]

The solo rpg KISS starter set. This is exactly what I needed

[@mattjackson]

Awesome! Glad it helped!

[@tabletop.will.phillips]

While not a solo RPG players, the tables in Perilous Wilds look great! Going to have to check that out.

You probably know this but OD&D had a simple breakdown of alignment. You were either an agent of Law (order) or Chaos. In a way it gave more subtlety. You could be overly zealous for Law and not have to be Lawful Evil. In other words you could feel an obligation to help the helpless but show no mercy to equal opponents.

[@kyrnsword72]

For my solo RPG game system I found 1 I love called D100 DUNGEON MAPPING books by Martin Knight!

[@fredericmanson441]

Very cool NOT BORING video with a lot of tips/treacks for solo RPGs!! Thank you!!

[@mattjackson]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@jamesortiz1]

wow what a great deck gonna buy that as soon as this video ends thanks

[@rolanejo8512]

Great stuff. I also play Whitebox solo in my channel. In Spanish.

[@ace1053]

Just came across your channel while researching solo rpgs. I like your vids so far, keep up the good work! Some vids id think would be cool to see would be more on your note taking style (heard of bullet journals but dont really understand it that well) and maybe a tutorial on that cartography. Looks like Dyson’s style and I dig it!

[@mattjackson]

Thank you for watching. The next videos I’m working on with be game sessions. And yes, Dyson and I go way back to the early days of Google+ when we both started posting maps online.

[@Mind_of_MATT]

@@mattjackson Looking forward to seeing you using these tools in action.

[@GrayArmyGaming]

Same here!

[@asgoritolinasgoritolino7708]

Cool video!

[@mattjackson]

Thanks! I hope your enjoyed the video.

[@GrayArmyGaming]

Great tips! So glad I found your channel! I have never heard of White Box. I will definitely check it out. Thanks!

[@shanepatrickward]

whitebox is amazing

[@shanepatrickward]

@@ork44 interesting, I didn't notice that. Your can always add spells from other sources or make up your own

[@rafaelosuna4784]

Nice info ,any chance you will make video on how you do solo combat with the white box system?

[@mattjackson]

Thanks! I’ve released a few actual play videos now, the latest one is almost all combat.

[@mikesilk4933]

great vid....have you made available those character card files?.....great idea

[@mattjackson]

Yes, they can be found on my blog: MSJX.ORG

[@artistpoet5253]

6:59 'planning'? what is this 'planning' you speak of?

[@mattjackson]

LOL I never plan anything!

[@1ccortez]

Where did you buy the large red dice?

[@mattjackson]

Etsy, a shop called Monomakes Craft. Expensive, but beautiful.

[@1ccortez]

@@mattjackson I see what you mean about expensive. What material are they made of? What do you like about them?

[@mattjackson]

@@1ccortez I believe resin, not sure. They are larger than normal, far easier to read (I dislike pips, and especially dislike polys with numbers and d6 with pips....the two should not mix!), sharp edged.

[@user-pc5ww8fh6d]

Deck of Stories looks too done to death and done better elsewhere. I have the Dungeon Deck though, one of the best of it's kind. I printed my own, but I'd endorse getting the real cards for those unable to do the print themselves.
