SuperCity24 solo RPG
Chp 7 - Sc 1... pt 2/2

> Clock tower park, a villain walks to the van with the flat tire, and J-Box K watches nearby.
>Writing down J-Box's thoughts worked well to figure out the next action.
>> An action scene and lucky rolls. J-Box grabs the back of the moving van, finds the missing Bo, rips the door off so Bo can leap out. AND finds the large NPC has gained super speed.

SuperCity24 solo RPG
Chp 7 - Sc 1... pt 1/2

Set-up: J-Box has promised to find Bo, the living fiberglass buddha thanks to a clue from Mrs. Lu.

Tables flesh out the area around the clock tower, including a suspicious van with a flat tire.

An event roll gives a call-back to a stale thread, connecting the villain from chapter 1 to the current one.

Not necessary for some games, but redrawing the map of Heathburg, CA.

I will add details as I go.

I next have a list of questions to answer/story clocks/threads. I have established enough threads for lots of game story.

Complex games take a lot more book keeping. Not a fan, but a necessity.

For me, the secret sauce in a solo games are story clocks inspired by Blades in the Dark (and other PbtA games).

Leaving room to add more entries, I write a list of the 'chapters' in the previous journal. What happened, locations and NPC's involved.
This makes a perfect table pf CALLBACKs to bring in details from previous parts of the game.

I really love using story clocks (Blades in the Dark) to break down my games down smaller segments.

I am using a ballpoint pen since the black ink pen bleeds through too much.

Here I write attributes for my character that will shape a pool of d6 dice when I try an action. Mind, body, flaws, edges, drives, etc.

I am using FU: Freeform Universal, but there are lots of options to try. I just like how simple this one is.

Time to continue my game in a new game journal.
On page one I start with my PC (player character) drawn with them introducing themself. In this case the PC is a magic-born would-be superhero, J-Box K.
I make corrections to some of the details (his name is Kurt (not Kirk)) and add new details like unnamed grandparent (who might come visit in a chapter).

SuperCity24 solo RPG journal 1 is filled!

- I now have 6 story threads and can handle no more.
-- Might combine or delete a thread if needed.
- Will change up some homebrew next journal.
-- Need to find ways to make sure more things happen.
- Work might waylay the game a bit.
- Want to make sure there are more NPC interactions, but need to figure out best ways to do that.
- Solo RPG games are great!

Chap 6.0 of soloRPG: SuperCity24

I only had a few pages till the end of my sketchbook, so this is just an interlude.

- Ms. Lu's son meets with a pair of twins and gives a cryptic message to J-Box
- surveillance at the pet store and a weird fish
- a sudden rainstorm leads him to overhear the scientist from ch 4 who has been fired
