    Default 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?

    Nope. Go for it, sounds quite fun.

    Depends.

    Odd by gamer standards? Probably not.

    Odd by the rest of the world's standards? Don't worry, we all are.

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

    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.

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

    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.)

    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

    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...

    I like this generator.

    I think I'll be using it a lot

    Eh, I have no respect for demons. The whole "embodiment of CE" translates to "embodiment of being a psychotic moron who can't stick to a grocery list, let alone a plan".

    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.

    ...A solo LP dungeon crawl thing would be pretty fun.

    Especially if done in a "choose your own adventure" game style.

    Now I want to do one.

    ...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?

    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

    I had this idea once. It ended in a pbp of 50 plus active pcs soloing dungeons. So, if I call you odd, I'm a bit nervous about what that makes me.

    Yep, it just seems to really like throwing hordes of really weak monsters at you. I'd be rather shocked if it had a room with 15 CR1 monsters in a level 1 dungeon.

    On that note, I've reached my third dungeon level and level 9 now. This stuff is addictive.
