Hi all!
I love playing with my group, but given our schedules our sessions are quite rarefied and I remain with a lot of characters that I would like to test and I cannot.
I know that I could sandbox them easily by putting them in some kind of arena with monsters of appropriate CR, but I want to make this a little bit more funnier than simple bloodbaths.
I've come across the Mythic Game Master Emulator (MGME) and got the itch of playing a solo Pathfinder game, especially after seeing this guy having tons of fun on YouTube (albeit not with the Pathfinder system).
I'm asking advice on how to do this properly, especially concerning the random dungeon generation. I know that tools like donjon do exist and that they can generate fully populated dungeons with traps and stuff...but I would like to push it further and do it in an even more procedural way.
Basically my idea would be to approach the dungeon and then start asking to MGME if there is another room, if it is populated, etc. (maybe adjusting the likeness on the basis of how many rooms I've encountered). If MGME is positive I would use the tables on the Pathfinder GM book to generate a room and populate it and so on. This way I would have my own "fog of war" and not know my whole dungeon map in advance (more exciting and less metagaming possible).
Has anyone tried it? Any advice?
Thanks for any help!
P.S.: Yes, I know that TTRPGs are better with people around the table and I agree, but as I said in the intro we can't do that many sessions and I would really like to test solo gaming to have an alternative way of playing with myself in the loooong looneely evenings ;-)
P.P.S.: No, I'm not looking for other groups right now, I do really want to test solo play.
