Am I weird?
I'm sitting here, with a level 1 gestalt character, a random dungeon generator, and a set of dice. And every part of me wants to put my character through the dungeon, to see what happens by war gaming it.
Am I odd?

Re: Am I weird?
Depends.
Odd by gamer standards? Probably not.

Re: Am I weird?
You're just bored, probably. And this is not a bad way to fix it, though admittedly not my cup of whatever

Re: Am I weird?
If I had more free time, I'd be soloing random dungeons all day. Possibly parts of the night too.

Re: Am I weird?
Maybe you should do a Let's Play: Solo Dungeon. That'd be fun. Take input from the rest of the Roleplaying forum, and go to town...er, DUNGEON, that is.

Re: Am I weird?
I'd do one myself, but my narration tends to be a bit...long-winded. I really love descriptions.

Re: Am I weird?
Well, I'm building a Factotum//Crusader, using this dungeon generator, and my IRL set of dice.
Stats were rolled, 5d6b3.
If you guys care to join me in some Parallel Play, I'd be more than willing to hear stories, and share mine. =3
(The only issue is, you can't have secret doors and stuff when you're playing with yourself.)

Re: Am I weird?
Yes
*reads opening posts*
Sounds like a good use of time. But still weird despite that.

Re: Am I weird?
Actually, the more I think about it, the more fun a LP: Solo would be.
However, rather than straight up Solo DM myself, maybe I should start a 'competition' like the various dungeon crawls on the board already? Where, in order to play, you gotta offer to DM, since this stuff is randomly generated... Hmm... x3

Re: Am I weird?
How do you do that? Is there a Solo-er's Handbook somewhere? I'd like to try to DM and play my own games as practice...

Re: Am I weird?
One of my friends tests his mid-level character builds by pitting them solo against each monster in the Bestiary (this is Pathfinder), and if he wins more than 50% of the time he feels appropriately powerful for combat (read: very powerful indeed). It's not so fun when he DMs. PC deaths are plentiful in his campaigns.

Re: Am I weird?
...Buh-buh I've had it bookmarked for about a year now.
I have made good use of it, and the dungeons are fun, there is nothing wrong with going through solo. I've considered it a couple times.Game systems I play: DnD 3.5, Pathfinder, Star Wars Saga, Vampire: The Masquerade, Dungeons: The Dragoning, AFBME, Atomic Highway, Dark Heresy, Legend of the 5 Rings 4E, MAID and... EQRPG... Does anyone actually play that?

Re: Am I weird?
That's... actually an interesting idea... I think I'll have to give it a try.

Re: Am I weird?
This is rather fun, yet irritating at the same time. I'm sending through my 5th-level gestalt cleric/crusader bad guy for a campaign I'm running and so far the encounters have been... less than level 5 stuff. 2 grimlocks, okay, 3 small monstrous spiders, a bit easy but whatever, and then... 15 small monstrous spiders? I think the encounter generator is a bit broken. :p

Re: Am I weird?
@Squeak: Did you set the dungeon to level 5?
@Tryn: You invented the NED? :P
