This will be handy for creating my world for a miniature skirmish game. 😊

This is great! I’m just jumping into Microscope with a group for the first time, but I immediately got thinking about how to use it as a story/world-building machine in solo play.

I was just about to embark on solo microscope myself when I thought about googling how to play and I stumbled upon your channel. Thanks for posting your ideas and videos. I am sure I will use many of them myself for creating my world as well. I am your 119th subscriber!

Rewatching this after managing to get a full game of Microscope to the table with an idea (not for my current main project) of how I can use it to help me write other stuff, particularly since my current main project is likely to come to a conclusion early next year.

Great job, Clare! I hope you don't mind, but I had Ben pin a link to this in the official Microscope RPG discord. It's a great synopsis of how one person can use Microscope. Loving your other vids as well!

Suggestion: Leave your graphics (and superimposed words) up a little bit longer so that the viewer has time to read them. I keep having to stop and 'rewind' the video and pause it to read these things. 🙂

thank you for talking about how you use Microscope. I think I'm going to find it very useful for my next SF novel. The RPG tool I already use in my writing is the Fiasco character creation system, where you focus on the relationships and needs of characters before you develop the attributes of the characters themselves. It definitely helps generate conflict for my stories!

The only issue I have with your overview of Microscope is that you don't actually have to bookend the entirety of history. You said that World War 2 and the Time of the Dinosaurs would both be examples of Periods in a History, but you wouldn't, in my opinion, have both of those as periods in a game of Microscope because that wouldn't be a consistent history. A better way to describe it (again, in my opinion) would be that you might choose to make a History about World War 2. So the beginning period could be Hitler being arrested and the ending period could be Hitler dying. You could also do a History about Dinosaurs with the Permian-Triassic Extinction Event at one end, and the K-Pg Extinction at the other. But I really love the way you explain it, and I'm looking forward to some solo Microscope after following along with you. :)

Thanks for this video. I've been playing Microscope solo for a while now and learned a lot from this video. Any chance you could give us a video on playing Microscope Union solo? That would be much appreciated 🙂

I've been thinking about doing one for Union! :) Just bought Kingdom a while back too. Really enjoy them.
