Great article! And great ideas, I need to give this a try. My biggest hurdle when writing is letting go of an idea that isn't working so using randomization could be really helpful.

It's like magic watching all of the elements snap together as you play. When people have said they see writing as discovery, I've never understood that. Until I started trying this.

Let me know how it goes if you give it a try!

I've been toying with this idea for a while and when I saw this post it was an instant subscribe for me. Looking forward to reading more of your thoughts on the subject.

I've been looking at Mythic as GM emulator for solo play and want to write some stories based on solo playing Call of Chthulu.

I like Ironsworn for this, you can have a couple of characters interacting and going through a story together.

Thank you for the wonderful article! I found a point in my novels that seemed to be a great place to just let someone take their own path, and seems doing and adventure rpg for that will be my goal!
