Thanks Robin! That means a ton! Sadly there won't be too many tables in this series, but I'll be announcing something in a few days to a week that has quite a few tables :)
Thanks for reading! I’m glad I can provide some inspiration.
The footnotes are super useful for some things. In the next entry, I use footnotes for DM specific things but combat rolls will be in-line with the narrative.
Thank you for the kind words! It is a solo play campaign. I have been using Mythic GME 2e's Fate Check to determine how the group, or part of the group, would respond to certain environmental or narrative situations. For the individual PCs, I created a couple traits for each one that I use to determine how they would act on their own (e.g. Arthur is cautious and loyal; Bertram is jovial and protective; Poppy is aggressive but caring; Blanche is reserved but inquisitive). If a situation arises where I'm uncertain of how an individual PC would react based on those traits, I will put it to the Fate Check to decide.
So happy to see this drop! Great write up and I am loving the fate checks, very cool idea. Would you mind if I use your Gloamtide Map for an upcoming session. I would of course give full props and a big shout out. Looking forward to more posts and seeing what your thoughts are on AD&D as a whole.
I wanted to place it near the shores of Old Avalon. Have a small island of wrecked ships. A shooting star falls from the sky smashing into the debris. PC’s explore and find an automaton that has been sent to down to Old Avalon to recover an item. He could make for a great ally. But first the pc’s will have to fight off a crazed giant octopus around the ship. Tendrils punching through all the galley windows etc.
It will be my inaugural introduction to the Isle of Old Avalon. Perhaps a battle while jumping from ship to ship.
I love your writing! And tables! I’ve said it before but needs to be said again.

I’ll be reading!!!
This is awesome! Really enjoy finding more inspiration for my SoloPlay stuff.
I love your use of footnotes by the way. I may have to borrow that for my Solo TTRPG blog at some point.

Love it so far, very engaging. This is a solo play campaign correct? Do you use fate to determine only the group actions?

Thanks for reading! Have at it with the Gloamtide map. If you need a copy of it (not sure how substack handles image downloads) just let me know.
That's very kind of you. Thanks man I really appreciate it. Its perfect for something I have been toying around with.
You're welcome! I'd love to hear about what you plan to use it with.

That sounds epic! I can adjust the map to a 90° orientation and add tentacles if you want! Even give it a grid
Whoa dude. I wouldn't want to trouble you but that would be super cool and very gracious of you.
