kossaiso yes , solo changeling game with GEMulator !
as of right now , this is one part cathartic roleplay , and one part just silly fun . both aspects very important , of course . :)
currently run through little prelude that might evolve longer - childling kossai deal with family and school while make friend , who just start to experience dream dance and awaken to changeling self .
one downside is childling kossai is somewhat unbalance , in sense that ... things which childling would need roll for , coincidentally things which happen to be good in , like perception , dexterity , and crafts . likewise many of 0 to 1 dot traits do not have relevance to childling - like political knowledge , ability to drive or use firearms , and so on . so actually sometimes reroll things that go very well , because " yay this work perfectly " is less fun than something go wrong !
adult kossai in more adult world should have much better balance , just right now ... little off . :P

Date: Oct. 2nd, 2024 04:50 pm (UTC)One of the things that I like about the most popular solo RPG "generic" ruleset, Freeform Universal (or just "FU"), is the possibility of "yes, but" or "no, but" outcomes. I find that if I need something to happen for personal-preference reasons, either success or failure, what I do is run the test/check anyways. That check isn't for "does it happen," but is instead for "HOW does it happen." If I know my character is going to succeed, is it a mixed blessing or a just-barely accomplishment? Does it have unpleasant knock-on effects? That's what I'm actually checking for in those times.
