Exclusion Zone Botanist: Epsilon (although it’s a solo game) might be getting some playtests at Unpub next week. Whipped up a quick character sheet to use. This is just for testing and the final may look nothing like this.
The new issue of The Soloist covers Spark Tables, the matrixes of words that (when smashed together) can help you come up with gameplay ideas, surprises, and details without a GM. Includes tips on when to use them, how to interpret results, examples, and my “Generic Fantasy Spark Table.” #solorpg
