HELP HELP I'M BEING OPPRESSED

It's interesting to see the similarities and differences of approach when you're doing these random table examples. When you were rolling up the bartender, for example, my thought was "Oh, this person may be a (lesser or deposed) noble. Or has worked for a noble, at the very least." and I imagined your standard trope of a retired adventurer running a standard tavern with touches of class. A minstrel with sharp eyes and a gentle demeanor playing quietly in the corner as they listen without appearing to. Surprisingly fit and demure bar maidens (possibly daughters or nieces) working the floor. Very clean and pleasantly lit. That sort of image. On the serf, I was mildly distracted by my food and so when you said, "possess" my immediate thought was, "No wonder he's so much stronger! He's possessed!" Then followed by "valor" it became, "Oh oh, right. Then he wants to become a knight. Done and done. He's been training hard, but still can't get where he wants to go." I think my favorite thing about watching solo LPs is seeing the ways a solo player interprets a situation and comparing it to my own. I feel like it exercises my creative muscles by showing me different ways to stretch them. So to speak.

@Klawzie Really enjoyed reading your own unique interpretations as Trevor was revealing his, and yes everyone will have their own thoughts and ideas which is the beautiful thing regarding these supplements. Everyone's interpretations will take their story into different directions, and yours were no less brilliant than his. Loved it!

Same ! For the "doubt history", it seemed evident to me that the serf simply didn't know about the adventurers and didn't want to send troublemakers to the castle😀. The possession idea is quite cool !

Every time I see one of these supplemental episodes I get excited for Ironsworn.

Really glad to see this review, warms my heart. Zach would have loved to have seen this feedback and tribute. Glad to hear you enjoyed the supplement.

UNE never failed me, the very reason why I keep postponing the main quest 'cause of the backstorie and conflicts it automatically generates along with interesting characters.

Thank you for this video. I bought ÜNE based on your recommendation back when Me, Myself and Die first started. It’s become one of my go-to supplements. I use it for virtually every game. It’s simply fantastic and good to see its capabilities highlighted. I may steal your insensitive serf, Sir Lost the Lot, as an NPC as some point.

"Sir Lost the Lot". Gold. :)

I love the fact that you have a d100 in your mind 🙄 hahaha also, I like to practice my english listening skills (i am from Brazil) 😂 thanks to bring us this amazing video ❤️

Thanks for that! I use UNE all the time, but never really understood how to implement the response tables. I always went back to Mythic for that. Will try these out soon, now I understand how it works!

Some of these options sound great for a PC build. Better style snd range than some of the DnD books. I am referring to the short and random bonds, flaws etc per class.

Again, a great walk-through of this tool. I rolled for you on the UNE tables, and you came out as a (11) "lively" (76) "Entertainer" and your motivation was to (24) Chronicle" (89) Stories. By the way, you also came out as slightly weaker than me. Thank you for doing these supplements.

RIP Zach Best. Thank you for the amazing tools.

Thank you for your videos! I have always wanted to solo rpg and you have inspired me to start. I hope you keep the videos coming because I learn so much from you. It is refreshing to see someone doing the genre proud. Keep up the good work!

So helpful! Lot of great tools out there but sometimes when you’re sitting by yourself reading it, it doesn’t come alive or while interesting it isn’t clear how useful it will be. your thought process is extremely valuable as an example to kickstart my own when learning new tools

Perfect! One of the best videos! I already share with a brazilian Solo group! It's brilliant!

Just started a D&D campaign with my friends and this seeks awesome to use for jumping off points with NPCs as I am a first time DM! Definitely going to give it a shot! Found the channel not too long ago by happenstance on JAT's channel. Not even done the first season yet but already pumped for more!

Thank you so much for the series and these supplemental explanations about the tools. I just found this channel and you have inspired me to start my own solo 5e campaign. I have the Mythic Deck version of the emulator and so far it has been a blast. Please continue the great work and fun stories.

Only just discovered you, but love your style and enthusiasm! I GM a few games but locked into those styles/systems due to the players. You've given me the confidence to play some solo games myself in other systems I'm interested in! If you want any ideas for future videos, I'd love it if you provided some resources for improv character voices (for my GM games, not my solo ones! Ha!). I'm sure some printable chart exists for randomly generating voices on tables (deep, nassely, whisper, fast, etc). I'd love to print a chart off for reference but can't find what I'm after anywhere! (Maybe they don't exist). Anyway! Keep it up. You're awesome🤘🤘

Love you man. Great videos! Looking forward for the new series.

For the much stronger serf, I like the idea of a paladin who finished his quest and then went back to the farm. Actually, isn't that Superman (in some universes)?

Love how he described it will make it easier when I get it myself

Just came across your channel,subbed. Going to check out your 1st. Season, sounds very interesting!

Another superb video. Thank you!

This was very helpful. I have used UNE several times, but I guess I glossed over the binary response table. Good stuff.

Another fantastic supplement to use! UNE has been a great help for me. Great video as always sir!

Another useful tool! Thanks, matey 😁 One more vid to go, then I'm jumping into Season 1

Thanks for another great video. It’s really interesting to see how all these tools can fit together to form a massive arsenal of content. It would great to hear about the various 2d and 3D scenery you used throughout the show as some of that stuff can really eat into a budget.

The quality of my games' NPCs after watching this video is incredibly higher.

Best rpg youtube channel ever. You rock !

If possible, one of these days would love to have you on my channel and have an interview. Keep up the good work.

It's cool to see the charts that you've been using in your videos! And also I learned the word "penury" from this video! ^o^;>

pretty decent ü actually

All other stuff of Conjecture Games, like CRGE and BOLD are amazing too!

Personally, I've never used any part of UNE besides the basic definition and motivation generators. There's never really been a situation when I've wanted to randomly determine power level and I usually just use Fate Chart questions for conversations.

How do people find using these in a live group game? For solo play you can obviously take as long as you want and it's part of the fun to surprise yourself but I imagine trying to pull out a bunch of various tables clunky when trying to keep a game running with multiple people. Haven't tried it myself yet though I'm curious

I am just finding this channel and going over some of the resources. I have a copy of UNE(rev) and it doesn't appear to have the binary table despite referencing it in the text itself. I downloaded it again to see if I had a corrupt copy and it still doesn't have it. Anyone else having this issue?

Hey Trevor, I have been playing a bit of Ironsworn, but after being introduced to solo RPG's I am interested in trying another system solo. Perhaps Five Torches Deep, or Elemental... Anyhow, I remembered seeing this video a while back and picked up UNE. The author also did a GM emulator called CRGE. I picked it up because it was the same author as UNE, it was PWYW, and I read somewhere that it was similar to Mythic, but perhaps a bit more "modern". I am just wondering if you ever took a look at it and if so, what you thought and how it compares to Mythic. Also, if you are encountering a monster of some sort while playing solo, do you use UNE (or something else) to help determine its power level?

I think you’re better off thinking up three adventurer NPCs, three townsfolk, and three rural villagers as part of prep. During play, just grab one that makes sense & replace it with a new one between sessions. All you need is a list of medieval occupations.
