# Solo RPG Ideas
### Entered on Sony PEG-UX50
### 20190329

I acquired a leather "spellbook" that has sleeves that take
playing card sized content. I am currently brainstorming 
ideas for a solo game. I want to create poker-card sized 
materials I can place into the sleeves in this little book.
Maps (small, multi-part), lookup tables, character 
information, world info, etc. is what I have in mind for it.

I would like to use this game to flesh out ideas for my 
novel. I am going to be using Mythic Game Master Emulator
for decision points. The game materials will live in the 
little sleeves of the "spellbook" but notes while playing
will live in a leather covered moleskine. I am on the fence
as to the game system to use for this. The two main 
contenders are Fate and Tunnels & Trolls. I am kinda leaning
towards T&T.

I have scrapped multiple outlines so far for the story and
this method seems good on two fronts - introduction of 
elements I likely would not have chosen explicitly, and the
idea just seems like fun. I want to also use Mythic to aid
in randomizing certain world elements. Not every detail is
of Earth-shattering importance and entropy is a universal
constant (not the amount or outcome, just that it exists
and the accumulation thereof is a given).

The "book" came with a stack of blank cards with a parchment
like background. I have ordered 50 matte white blank cards
in addition to these. These blank poker-sized cards are 
cheap and readily available.
