Sounds good, I'm probably always destined to solo whatever I do.

Having a good oracle is good whether you solo game or DM. An oracle allows you to create an answer to any dilemma by random rolls. I created one before I ever found solo tools and it helps.

I love that display shelf full of minis! Major kudos!

Solo game tools are really cool! My personal favorite is Mythic Gamemaster Emulator 2nd Edition by Tana Pigeon

I’m having a blast with Chat GPT right now. Things I’ve noticed though:

1. Ask chat for a recap, copy and paste into a word document and remind chat what happened in the next session by copy and pasting that in chat gpt window

2. Remind chat to give you XP

3. Keep track of all the NPCs in your party and remind chat. Sometimes they may change gender or race but I can look past that lol

"You do need to learn a new system of rules that sit on top of d&d"

So like, what everyone is doing already lol!

...but what's it compatible with? I've been looking to play for years but I can't find the right group a d I don't do d&d...especially 5e. Could it work with any d20 game?
