Lonely TTRPG EP 44 - BBEG by Maps n Quests

steelstash: 00:00:01

Greetings, we wander and welcome back to Lonely, T T R P G, the

steelstash: 00:00:04

Solo Actual Play and Review podcast.

steelstash: 00:00:07

This week we are playing B B E G by Maps and Quest.

steelstash: 00:00:13

So you are the bad guy, or in this case you might be a group.

steelstash: 00:00:19

You are the villain of the story.

steelstash: 00:00:21

You're not that different from the heroes you fight against.

steelstash: 00:00:23

Really.

steelstash: 00:00:24

If only they thought about it, they'd probably see they

steelstash: 00:00:27

have a lot in common with you.

steelstash: 00:00:29

Why won't those heroes ever just consider those things, right?

steelstash: 00:00:34

Regardless of their reasoning or yours.

steelstash: 00:00:37

You have a vision of what you think things should be like, and you're gonna make it.

steelstash: 00:00:43

You'll fight against those heroes in whatever way you need to so that you can

steelstash: 00:00:47

make things the way you want them to be.

steelstash: 00:00:50

See, there's a similarity already.

steelstash: 00:00:54

Maybe just, maybe if you can't beat the heroes, you can convince them to join you.

steelstash: 00:01:02

All right, so this is a caltrop core based game, which means we are using D 4s.

steelstash: 00:01:07

It does use dice pools, so multiple is preferable.

steelstash: 00:01:12

However, you can roll one multiple times

steelstash: 00:01:16

. For safety.

steelstash: 00:01:17

Remember, this is a game and should be fun, so use whatever appropriate

steelstash: 00:01:23

safety measures you need in order to make sure that you are having fun.

steelstash: 00:01:27

So for the first explanation on the rules, all right, this is a dice pool game,

steelstash: 00:01:32

meaning you're gonna roll pools of dice.

steelstash: 00:01:35

So whenever you're rolling multiple dice, you always take the highest number in

steelstash: 00:01:40

unless you roll multiples of the same.

steelstash: 00:01:44

Then you take whatever that multiple is.

steelstash: 00:01:48

So for example, you roll two twos, a one and a three.

steelstash: 00:01:54

In that case, you take the twos.

steelstash: 00:01:56

Now if you roll multiple multiples, then you take the higher of the multiples.

steelstash: 00:02:02

So if you roll three twos and two threes, you would take the

steelstash: 00:02:06

threes because it's higher.

steelstash: 00:02:08

Even though you rolled more twos, you're gonna go with the threes.

steelstash: 00:02:12

Again, this is caltrop core..

steelstash: 00:02:13

We've done a couple of those.

steelstash: 00:02:15

So one is gonna be an absolute failure.

steelstash: 00:02:18

Two gonna be a partial failure, three partial success,

steelstash: 00:02:22

and four absolute success.

steelstash: 00:02:25

And in the event of combat, A one means you take one, damage a two.

steelstash: 00:02:31

You do not hit three.

steelstash: 00:02:34

You hit and deal one damage.

steelstash: 00:02:35

Four, you hit and deal two damage.

steelstash: 00:02:38

So for your character stats, you have several key stats.

steelstash: 00:02:43

First up is silver tongue, where others rely on wit, brute force.

steelstash: 00:02:47

You found that words are just as powerful.

steelstash: 00:02:50

So this is how good you are at interacting with NPCs and

steelstash: 00:02:54

how you can convince them am.

steelstash: 00:02:56

Next up, we got resilience.

steelstash: 00:02:58

Sure, heroes hit hard, or at least what they call hard, but you can.

steelstash: 00:03:04

So this is gonna be your health and hit points.

steelstash: 00:03:08

Putting a D four here will give your character four additional hip points.

steelstash: 00:03:14

Next up is healing.

steelstash: 00:03:15

Being a villain doesn't make you immortal.

steelstash: 00:03:16

This is how well you can heal yourself.

steelstash: 00:03:20

A three will heal one point and a four will heal two points.

steelstash: 00:03:24

Athleticism is how strong you are.

steelstash: 00:03:26

Physical stats, evil devices.

steelstash: 00:03:30

You make heroes pay with your dastardly devices, so this is gonna

steelstash: 00:03:35

be your crafting, your fixing, that sort of thing, scheming, because

steelstash: 00:03:39

of course you're the smart villain.

steelstash: 00:03:41

This is your raw knowledge of the world and your ability to figure things out.

steelstash: 00:03:46

And finally, and stay down, dishing out the pain is just so much fun.

steelstash: 00:03:51

This is actual combat and will determine how effective you are in combat.

steelstash: 00:03:56

Now as far as all your skills go, you start off with a D four in each skill.

steelstash: 00:04:03

Your archetype is going to give you additional dice to add to that, but.

steelstash: 00:04:09

On top of all of that, you're gonna get an extra two dice to add to the stats

steelstash: 00:04:14

of your choice for your villainous archetype, you have anti villain

steelstash: 00:04:21

mastermind, mad scientist, bruiser, professional, brute, and bad guy.

steelstash: 00:04:27

Now, each of these will come with their own special ability.

steelstash: 00:04:30

With that, when you roll an absolute success, you roll a

steelstash: 00:04:34

single D four afterwards as well.

steelstash: 00:04:37

If you roll a four on that roll, then you can add one usage of your special ability.

steelstash: 00:04:44

When you use that, you deduct one usage.

steelstash: 00:04:48

Now, full disclosure, this is not intended to be a solo game per se, but

steelstash: 00:04:55

it is a game easy enough to play solo.

steelstash: 00:04:58

So that is what we're gonna do.

steelstash: 00:05:01

And to do that we are going to go ahead and transition over to our game board.

steelstash: 00:05:06

So up first we need to decide what our archetype is gonna be.

steelstash: 00:05:10

So there are seven archetypes in the book, so we are just going.

steelstash: 00:05:16

Roll our random number generator

steelstash: 00:05:19

and we got a four,

steelstash: 00:05:21

which is the bruiser.

steelstash: 00:05:22

You can take a beating and keep on, dishing it out.

steelstash: 00:05:26

You gain two dice and resilience and one in and stay down.

steelstash: 00:05:31

And for our special ability, if a combat roll would drop you to zero

steelstash: 00:05:34

hit points, you may roll a D four and add those hit points instead.

steelstash: 00:05:40

So a slight clarification on these special ability rules.

steelstash: 00:05:46

So anytime you roll a D four in the game, you get to roll an additional D four.

steelstash: 00:05:52

If that comes up as a four, you get to add one to your usage

steelstash: 00:05:58

column on your character sheet,

steelstash: 00:06:01

which will allow you to use your special ability whenever you would like.

steelstash: 00:06:05

Again, as long as you have something in.

steelstash: 00:06:08

So we got the Bruiser archetype, so all we need now is the name.

steelstash: 00:06:12

So let's call ourselves Billy the Bruiser.

steelstash: 00:06:15

So for our stat array, we're gonna give ourselves one D four in silver tongue.

steelstash: 00:06:22

4 D four in resilience.

steelstash: 00:06:23

That is our extra two for being a bruiser plus I added one of my additional dice,

steelstash: 00:06:31

one D four for healing one D four for evil devices, two D four for athleticism

steelstash: 00:06:36

because I added my other additional dice.

steelstash: 00:06:39

One D four for scheming and two D four four and stay down.

steelstash: 00:06:44

And of course we have zero uses for our.

steelstash: 00:06:48

Special ability just yet.

steelstash: 00:06:51

So with our 4 D four, that gives us a whopping 16 hit points.

steelstash: 00:06:57

As Billy is a beefy boy.

steelstash: 00:07:00

So we're gonna say that Billy,

steelstash: 00:07:03

Billy never set out to be the B B E G.

steelstash: 00:07:06

He was a big boy.

steelstash: 00:07:08

People tried to pick on him for being the big boy.

steelstash: 00:07:11

I mean, after all, everybody likes to pick on the big guy because.

steelstash: 00:07:16

I mean, if you can take down the big guy that's just great for you,

steelstash: 00:07:21

lot of unfairness and take and picking on the big guy.

steelstash: 00:07:24

Cause if I fight back, well, you know, of course I'm gonna win.

steelstash: 00:07:28

I'm the biggest and the strongest.

steelstash: 00:07:31

But if they win, then oh good for them.

steelstash: 00:07:32

They beat up the big guy.

steelstash: 00:07:34

So ended up in a lot of scrapes that way and.

steelstash: 00:07:40

When you end up in a lot of fights, you become known for fighting.

steelstash: 00:07:44

And of course that caught, that caught the attention of some people who took

steelstash: 00:07:48

me under their wing, showed me how, how that part of the world worked.

steelstash: 00:07:54

And I learned what I could and developed what I could and eventually

steelstash: 00:08:00

found myself in a position of.

steelstash: 00:08:04

Running my own little piece of paradise.

steelstash: 00:08:09

In fact, that's what I ended up calling the neighborhood, the piece

steelstash: 00:08:11

of paradise, cuz it was mine and I got to run it the way that I wanted.

steelstash: 00:08:17

But of course not everybody was too keen on the biggest and

steelstash: 00:08:22

the strongest being in charge.

steelstash: 00:08:24

So, They started contracting out, trying to find someone who could take me on

steelstash: 00:08:33

and let's see who our enemies are.

steelstash: 00:08:37

So there is a table in the back.

steelstash: 00:08:41

That has enemies and allies, what they are trying to do and to what of yours.

steelstash: 00:08:48

So I got four for my enemies, which is heroes of the realm.

steelstash: 00:08:53

So the whole crux of this curve, fluffle, is the heroes of the realm

steelstash: 00:08:56

are trying to take my ancient secret.

steelstash: 00:08:59

Of course, my ancient secret is the fighting technique that I've been using.

steelstash: 00:09:06

I was very fortunate to find a tutor in one of the lost arts of.

steelstash: 00:09:15

Bare knuckle brawling but a very particular style of bare knuckle brawling.

steelstash: 00:09:20

This isn't, this isn't just a street brawl, okay?

steelstash: 00:09:24

I am a professional at this.

steelstash: 00:09:27

This is how I have come to own peace of paradise, and apparently I have made

steelstash: 00:09:37

too good of a name for myself because the heroes of the realm are trying

steelstash: 00:09:41

to, are trying to get that secret.

steelstash: 00:09:44

Luckily, this is not a secret that can be easily taken.

steelstash: 00:09:48

It must be earned.

steelstash: 00:09:50

So really it comes down to if these guys, if these guys can earn it.

steelstash: 00:09:56

Now I do have a bit of an advantage.

steelstash: 00:09:58

I do know that they are coming, so I think I'm going to spend the

steelstash: 00:10:03

first part of my day just kind of rearranging piece of paradise.

steelstash: 00:10:09

To help kind of funnel them in.

steelstash: 00:10:11

So I'm gonna try to set up some blocking positions, some obstacles and whatnot.

steelstash: 00:10:16

Not really traps per se.

steelstash: 00:10:17

I'm just moving stuff into place to keep them from easily going wherever they

steelstash: 00:10:23

want and funneling them to where I want.

steelstash: 00:10:26

So that's gonna be my athleticism.

steelstash: 00:10:28

And I got a one and a two, so that's gonna be a two for my

steelstash: 00:10:32

result, which is a failure,

steelstash: 00:10:34

unfortunately.

steelstash: 00:10:37

Unfortunately, despite.

steelstash: 00:10:39

Despite what I've been trying to do with a piece of paradise, the

steelstash: 00:10:43

stuff that I needed to move around was just a little too heavy for me.

steelstash: 00:10:47

We're talking large wagons, heavy crates, that sort of thing, and.

steelstash: 00:10:52

It's not like, it's not like the residents are too keen on helping me out.

steelstash: 00:10:58

So like I got, I got one or two pieces in place, but it was not

steelstash: 00:11:05

creating the funnel I hoped for.

steelstash: 00:11:07

And so I just kind of, I kind of gave up on it that this is a, this is a waste

steelstash: 00:11:11

of effort, especially when I know I got a fight coming, I gotta focus on.

steelstash: 00:11:15

So I guess the question is,

steelstash: 00:11:19

are the heroes coming today?

steelstash: 00:11:20

And we're gonna go ahead and use one D four for our Oracle, with one being no.

steelstash: 00:11:28

An extreme no.

steelstash: 00:11:29

And four being an extreme.

steelstash: 00:11:31

Yes.

steelstash: 00:11:31

So are these guys coming?

steelstash: 00:11:33

That is an extreme.

steelstash: 00:11:34

Yes, in fact, in fact, I would say that

steelstash: 00:11:40

not only are they coming today,

steelstash: 00:11:43

they caught me as I was trying to rearrange some of the stuff because.

steelstash: 00:11:48

I thought I had more time.

steelstash: 00:11:49

Obviously I did not.

steelstash: 00:11:52

And of course, of course they come up behind me and they know who I

steelstash: 00:11:58

am because I kind of stand out.

steelstash: 00:12:00

But.

steelstash: 00:12:02

They launch into some speech or another, and it's, it's the same

steelstash: 00:12:06

speech, it's the same type of speech that I've heard a dozen times before.

steelstash: 00:12:11

Oh, we're here to free the people and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,

steelstash: 00:12:15

blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

steelstash: 00:12:18

You, you would think that they all got this speech from the same person.

steelstash: 00:12:23

Like, seriously, what are the bards in this town doing?

steelstash: 00:12:26

They're not.

steelstash: 00:12:28

What's the point of having Bards if they're not gonna write a

steelstash: 00:12:30

good speech for your party?

steelstash: 00:12:32

Instead, it's all just the same regurgitated stuff.

steelstash: 00:12:36

I'm only mildly paying attention, you know, I'm trying to cash my breath.

steelstash: 00:12:39

I was just trying to pick up a wagon.

steelstash: 00:12:41

And finally I'm gonna just turn around and look at 'em and go, look, I.

steelstash: 00:12:47

Y'all are trying to prove you're worth.

steelstash: 00:12:50

How many are there?

steelstash: 00:12:51

There are four of them.

steelstash: 00:12:53

I'm rolling fours all night.

steelstash: 00:12:54

This is great.

steelstash: 00:12:56

Except I'm rolling fours for the good guys, so maybe not so great.

steelstash: 00:13:00

But look, I get it.

steelstash: 00:13:01

They're, y'all are trying to prove that you're worthy of this technique.

steelstash: 00:13:06

The fact of the matter is I can't just hand it over.

steelstash: 00:13:08

You do have to prove yourself.

steelstash: 00:13:11

And four on one hardly seems like a fair fight, like a type of fight

steelstash: 00:13:19

that really proves one's worth.

steelstash: 00:13:23

So what do y'all say?

steelstash: 00:13:27

That we settle this one-on-one and I'm going to use silver tongue rolling

steelstash: 00:13:32

one D four for that and two failure.

steelstash: 00:13:36

Yep.

steelstash: 00:13:37

Only the good guys get to roll.

steelstash: 00:13:38

Well, it seems even the dice are bias.

steelstash: 00:13:42

So they ignore my request as they all seem to fan out around me.

steelstash: 00:13:48

Now, are there any magic users in the party?

steelstash: 00:13:51

One absolutely not.

steelstash: 00:13:53

Good.

steelstash: 00:13:54

Good.

steelstash: 00:13:54

All all Ma Or correction?

steelstash: 00:14:00

All Marshall types make sense.

steelstash: 00:14:02

They wanna learn my fighting technique.

steelstash: 00:14:04

Are there any ranged combatants?

steelstash: 00:14:08

Two, no

steelstash: 00:14:10

good deal.

steelstash: 00:14:11

So I don't have to worry about anybody sitting in the back and

steelstash: 00:14:15

trying to harass me that way.

steelstash: 00:14:18

So it seems that.

steelstash: 00:14:21

All four of them are going to circle around and attempt

steelstash: 00:14:27

to engage me all at once.

steelstash: 00:14:30

Now this is just fine by me.

steelstash: 00:14:32

It's not the first time I fought a group of people.

steelstash: 00:14:35

I'm gonna go ahead and give them all.

steelstash: 00:14:38

I'm gonna give 'em all four hit points, so they will have a total of 16.

steelstash: 00:14:43

That way things stay somewhat fair and I'm gonna go ahead and I'm

steelstash: 00:14:47

going to charge at the first one

steelstash: 00:14:50

rolling my two D four.

steelstash: 00:14:52

And.

steelstash: 00:14:54

A four.

steelstash: 00:14:54

So I'm gonna go, I am just going to smash them in the face opening with

steelstash: 00:15:00

a expert usage of this technique.

steelstash: 00:15:05

They wanted to learn it, and I'm just showing them firsthand.

steelstash: 00:15:09

Now, not only does that deal too damage to them, but I also get

steelstash: 00:15:14

to roll to see if I get special.

steelstash: 00:15:16

No, I do not get any charges to my special ability, but that is all right as that

steelstash: 00:15:24

first guy is definitely feeling it.

steelstash: 00:15:29

So as we said that there were no magic users or range types, we'll give

steelstash: 00:15:34

everybody 2D four for their stay down.

steelstash: 00:15:37

So the first one is going to attack me and they're also going to get a four.

steelstash: 00:15:42

So I'm gonna take two damage.

steelstash: 00:15:44

Next one, attacks.

steelstash: 00:15:47

They miss third attack is a miss fourth attack, another two damage.

steelstash: 00:15:56

After all, I am fighting four people and I'm just taking body blows to the back.

steelstash: 00:16:04

You know, they seem to be focusing on my kidney.

steelstash: 00:16:07

But two can play at that game as I am going to square up on the

steelstash: 00:16:11

one that I smash in the face.

steelstash: 00:16:13

And I'm going to continue to demonstrate the ancient technique that they

steelstash: 00:16:19

so desperately wanted to learn.

steelstash: 00:16:21

And that is another four.

steelstash: 00:16:23

So he is going to drop to the ground

steelstash: 00:16:28

and they only have three remain.

steelstash: 00:16:32

But that also gives me a chance to charge up, and I do, I do get one use

steelstash: 00:16:39

of my special ability, which is gonna come in real handy here in a minute.

steelstash: 00:16:43

I have a feeling as I turn to face my new opponent and the three remaining.

steelstash: 00:16:53

Get ready to attack.

steelstash: 00:16:55

So for the first one, that is another two damage.

steelstash: 00:16:59

Second one misses

steelstash: 00:17:02

and third one misses.

steelstash: 00:17:04

Great for me as I smile through,

steelstash: 00:17:10

as I smile at them, my face twisting cuz after all, I've been

steelstash: 00:17:17

hit in the face several times.

steelstash: 00:17:18

My nose has been broken several times.

steelstash: 00:17:21

This is not a pleasant smile and it twists by face into a not pleasant expression

steelstash: 00:17:27

as I bring an elbow down on him.

steelstash: 00:17:31

Luckily he seems to be a little quicker than his compatriot, so

steelstash: 00:17:35

he only takes one point of damage

steelstash: 00:17:40

as they go to respond.

steelstash: 00:17:42

The first one misses.

steelstash: 00:17:45

The second one does two damage, and the third one does two damage.

steelstash: 00:17:50

So as things are standing right now, our heroes are sitting at 11 hp, three

steelstash: 00:17:56

heroes, one of 'em on the ground.

steelstash: 00:17:59

I am currently at six hp, things are not looking good.

steelstash: 00:18:04

I'm starting to feel a little winded from these body blows,

steelstash: 00:18:08

and I'm gonna let out a growl of anger and as.

steelstash: 00:18:15

I bring my arms back before thrusting them forward towards

steelstash: 00:18:20

my opponent's solar plexus.

steelstash: 00:18:23

It's gonna be another four, so they're gonna go ahead and take

steelstash: 00:18:25

another two points of damage,

steelstash: 00:18:28

and I'm going to try and get an additional use outta my special ability, which I do.

steelstash: 00:18:35

Very beneficial.

steelstash: 00:18:38

This is the actual key to my special technique.

steelstash: 00:18:41

It's going to be how well I can stay up because after all, I'm

steelstash: 00:18:46

about to take another three attacks.

steelstash: 00:18:49

First one deals, one second, one misses third, one deals two, so I

steelstash: 00:18:55

lose another three in the exchange.

steelstash: 00:18:59

Bringing me down to six.

steelstash: 00:19:02

I'm feeling a little wobbly, a little woozy.

steelstash: 00:19:05

I'm going to attempt to circle my opponents using some foot.

steelstash: 00:19:11

Before throwing a haymaker, the intent is to knock out the one and

steelstash: 00:19:18

send them crashing into the other

steelstash: 00:19:21

double fours.

steelstash: 00:19:23

So I'm gonna call that a success.

steelstash: 00:19:26

With that regard, I successfully knock out the one that I had been dealing with and

steelstash: 00:19:33

send them crashing into their compatriot.

steelstash: 00:19:36

Chipping off a point of their health as well.

steelstash: 00:19:39

I do not add another charge to my special ability.

steelstash: 00:19:43

However, there are only two remaining heroes

steelstash: 00:19:48

as they get ready to attack.

steelstash: 00:19:49

I take two and one, so I take three points of damage.

steelstash: 00:19:54

That's gonna take me down to zero.

steelstash: 00:19:56

Luckily for my special ability, I get to roll one D four and

steelstash: 00:20:01

regain that many hip points.

steelstash: 00:20:03

Of course, it's only one,

steelstash: 00:20:05

and I do not have the action economy for whack-a-mole to

steelstash: 00:20:08

work in the way that I want.

steelstash: 00:20:11

I am definitely gonna take that blow to the chin and sink to a

steelstash: 00:20:16

knee, and as I hear them chuckle thinking that they may have done it,

steelstash: 00:20:24

I'm going to yell out as I unleash an upper.

steelstash: 00:20:31

A savage uppercut dealing another two points of damage

steelstash: 00:20:37

and another use of my special ability, which is gonna come in really handy

steelstash: 00:20:43

as any hit, is going to knock me.

steelstash: 00:20:46

So for the first attack against me, that is two points of damage.

steelstash: 00:20:51

So that'll knock me out maybe.

steelstash: 00:20:55

All right, so I dropped zero.

steelstash: 00:20:56

I regained one

steelstash: 00:20:59

for the second attack.

steelstash: 00:21:01

That is another two points, so I dropped back down to zero.

steelstash: 00:21:05

Finally, I got a four.

steelstash: 00:21:08

So I am back up to four Health.

steelstash: 00:21:10

There are currently two opponents with five HP between them and I have

steelstash: 00:21:15

no more uses of my special ability.

steelstash: 00:21:18

So time to once again unleash what is hopefully a savage punch.

steelstash: 00:21:25

This time to the jaw.

steelstash: 00:21:27

I'm looking for that good night button on their chin,

steelstash: 00:21:30

and that is a miss.

steelstash: 00:21:32

Apparently I am a little winded.

steelstash: 00:21:34

I'm a little too tired.

steelstash: 00:21:36

I've taken three near knockout blows already.

steelstash: 00:21:40

The first one is going to get one point against.

steelstash: 00:21:44

And the second one's gonna get two.

steelstash: 00:21:45

So I'm back down to one hp

steelstash: 00:21:48

I will counter another miss.

steelstash: 00:21:51

It seems that my time has finally run out.

steelstash: 00:21:56

Yep.

steelstash: 00:21:57

And they deal another.

steelstash: 00:21:59

Two points of damage,

steelstash: 00:22:01

but I did successfully take out two of them, almost took out three.

steelstash: 00:22:07

And as I fall to my knee, my hands, and.

steelstash: 00:22:11

I hold up a hand in a steadying motion as I chuckle softly.

steelstash: 00:22:18

All right?

steelstash: 00:22:19

All right.

steelstash: 00:22:20

You two have proven yourselves worthy.

steelstash: 00:22:23

I'll teach you two these two on the ground.

steelstash: 00:22:27

You are gonna have to find something to do with them.

steelstash: 00:22:30

I'll show you guys and I will find them quarters in a piece of paradise and

steelstash: 00:22:38

begin their training in the ancient techniques of bare knuckle brawling.

steelstash: 00:22:45

And that is B B E G.

steelstash: 00:22:48

A very rules light game by maps inquest.

steelstash: 00:22:53

Now I like this.

steelstash: 00:22:54

This was, this was fun.

steelstash: 00:22:55

This is, this was designed to be a very small concept.

steelstash: 00:23:00

It was always intended to only be a short game.

steelstash: 00:23:04

Something to do to kind of get a feeling for your villain.

steelstash: 00:23:08

Kind of feel it out, see what it's like, see what you want to do with it, and.

steelstash: 00:23:16

I think that,

steelstash: 00:23:18

I think that there is a lot of potential in there.

steelstash: 00:23:21

The entire booklet's only eight pages long, so definitely a

steelstash: 00:23:25

lot of potential in there for

steelstash: 00:23:27

filling in whatever you want to fill in.

steelstash: 00:23:30

Fun game.

steelstash: 00:23:31

Not, not bad at all to do, not bad at all to do solo.

steelstash: 00:23:36

You do kind of have to, you do kind of have to be comfortable

steelstash: 00:23:42

running solo campaigns with it.

steelstash: 00:23:44

After all, this isn't, this isn't designed to give anybody really anything.

steelstash: 00:23:51

Let alone a solo player without a gm.

steelstash: 00:23:56

But you know, as you guys heard, as you guys saw, not that, not that hard to come

steelstash: 00:24:03

up with something, you know, just come up with your, come up with your basic

steelstash: 00:24:07

crazy villain, plot, whatever, whatever crazy villain thing you wanted to do, and.

steelstash: 00:24:13

Just have fun with it.

steelstash: 00:24:14

Just go ahead and roll through it.

steelstash: 00:24:16

Roll through some of those crazy experiments or some of

steelstash: 00:24:19

that rise to power type stuff.

steelstash: 00:24:21

Cal Trip Core makes it very quick and easy to do.

steelstash: 00:24:26

Cause after all, it's just, it's basically yes no, which, I mean, at the end of

steelstash: 00:24:32

the day, most games are just yes, no, you know, just extra steps involved.

steelstash: 00:24:39

A very, a very simplified mechanic system so that you can just roll through

steelstash: 00:24:46

and have fun being evil and developing evil plans and seeing if those plants

steelstash: 00:24:52

come to fruition, or if you're going to be a Saturday morning cartoon villain.

steelstash: 00:25:01

You know, both are perfectly fine.

steelstash: 00:25:04

But yeah, no, this was a, this was a great game.

steelstash: 00:25:07

Mappy did a good job with it.

steelstash: 00:25:09

Definitely.

steelstash: 00:25:09

Definitely captures a vibe and I totally had fun with it.

steelstash: 00:25:15

Totally endorse it.
