Greetings!

I just finished reading this and in all honesty, I loved it! Given that I am quite new to the worldbuilding hobby, and I mostly do this to start a novel. I find that the book you wrote has most of everything I'd truly want out of a guide for worldbuilding.

The content is great. The book can tell you what the basic building blocks are for worldbuilding. I can't really compare it to other books about worldbuilding, just cause I haven't read any of this kind. But if you were a newbie as well, like me. I can easily recommend this.

My only gripes are the typographical errors. Which can be fixed. But, all in all, I enjoyed this, truly.

Hello!

I would just like to say that the whole book is excellent for my use case, Solo Gaming. I only gave this 4 stars because of some formatting, words missing, and the like. But the content itself is remarkable. I can't really specify where and how many mistakes I saw but it is there. And if there is an update to this, and all of those are fixed, I will change my rate to 5 stars.

But, here's my detailed review of the FlexTale Solo Adventuring Toolkit.

I purchased this to use in my Solo Gaming. And after reading, skimming some of that parts I don't need, I know I can use this. Specially the section where the book suggests how to make Quests. That alone is helpful for me. Now, I do think that this book is targetted to DMs, it just feels that way to me. Why do I say that? Because this book somehow "gamifies" DMing. The planning part of the DM is made easier. Now, it may not be for all but for aspiring DMs or the Soloist who will eventually play as the DM as well, this book will really help you.

Yes, this has 600 pages worth of content. And yes, I admit I won't be using 100% of this book, just cause I do want my own spin/brand on the games I will play. But the parts that I will use in this book will definitely add some significant things to my gaming experience. With that said, this book is mostly focused on Pathfinder. Which is really sad, for me specially, since I mostly play system agnostic games. But like anything in this book you can tweak it so that you can use it for ANY system. But with some additional work, which I don't particularly mind.

But all in all, I don't regret buying this book. The read is a bit of a slog, but it is worth it. This book gave me another set of tools I can use when playing Solo. And I do think that, for the aspiring DMs out there, should at least consider this book.

Sincerely, Peter A.

Hello!

I enjoyed using this for one of my gameplays but I have some issues with it.

It just felt half-baked, unfinished. It was trying to do a lot of things without accomplishing much. I did however liked the theme of the JRPG feel. That was the most appealing thing about this game for me.

My gripe is mostly directed towards the "Spells, Abilities, and Skills" section. I don't know. I just felt lost when I rolled for those and the broadness felt somewhat misguided. Like the options are a mix of very random things that doesn't work well with a leveling up system. I think it would've been better if the options on those tables were a bit more general.

But, I did enjoy the system. I made a couple of tweaks but kept most of the systems/mechanics stated in the rules. It does need some more work though.

I just played this recently and I enjoyed how easy it was to start up a game and play. It's basic enough but has enough of a "heft" to it so that I made a great session out of it.

The game enough of a dice roll mechanic that fits my taste and the contested rolls are simple enough.

Overall, great game. I enjoyed this and will hopefully use this system again!

Hello! I hope I can write this as constructive that I can. Here it goes!

Now, the overall game for me was good. I only played it once but I think I'll find myself wanting to play this again. And maybe using the other genres of this game as well.

As I played through it, I think that the game is quite hard. Or maybe I just picked the wrong, or rather, a quite hard character-skill-scenario combo.

All in all though, I found it fun. I wrote a letter, lost the game, but I still enjoyed the experience.

My only gripe would be that it is quite hard to win in this game, and the result at the end doesn't really do much for me. I would've rather have just played it even without the result at the end, but I guess it is needed because without it the points wouldn't have mattered.

Well, this is my opinion on the matter. Thank you for the game!
