Solovember Bingo!

[unholyghost]

Sero of Solo RPG List has created a bingo card for Solovember! You can get the cards here on their Bluesky. I also made an HTML table version for those who'd prefer to copy-paste it onto their journals instead. If you want to change the colors of the whole table, just change the first three values in table style.

<table style="--border:black;--txt:black;--bg:white;margin:auto;width:auto;"> <tr> <td style="border:1px solid var(--border);color:var(--txt);background-color:var(--bg);height:10em;width:10em;text-align:center;">Play a non human</td> <td style="border:1px solid var(--border);color:var(--txt);background-color:var(--bg);height:10em;width:10em;text-align:center;">Make a map</td> <td style="border:1px solid var(--border);color:var(--txt);background-color:var(--bg);height:10em;width:10em;text-align:center;">Join the Solo RPG List Discord</td> <td style="border:1px solid var(--border);color:var(--txt);background-color:var(--bg);height:10em;width:10em;text-align:center;">Solve a mystery</td> <td style="border:1px solid var(--border);color:var(--txt);background-color:var(--bg);height:10em;width:10em;text-align:center;">Solo play a group game</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="border:1px solid var(--border);color:var(--txt);background-color:var(--bg);height:10em;width:10em;text-align:center;">Submit a game you've played to the Solo RPG List</td> <td style="border:1px solid var(--border);color:var(--txt);background-color:var(--bg);height:10em;width:10em;text-align:center;">Use Tarot Cards</td> <td style="border:1px solid var(--border);color:var(--txt);background-color:var(--bg);height:10em;width:10em;text-align:center;">Time Travel</td> <td style="border:1px solid var(--border);color:var(--txt);background-color:var(--bg);height:10em;width:10em;text-align:center;">Share a photo of your setup</td> <td style="border:1px solid var(--border);color:var(--txt);background-color:var(--bg);height:10em;width:10em;text-align:center;">Have a romance</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="border:1px solid var(--border);color:var(--txt);background-color:var(--bg);height:10em;width:10em;text-align:center;">Do Evil</td> <td style="border:1px solid var(--border);color:var(--txt);background-color:var(--bg);height:10em;width:10em;text-align:center;">Delve a dungeon</td> <td style="border:1px solid var(--border);color:var(--txt);background-color:var(--bg);height:10em;width:10em;text-align:center;">Free Space!</td> <td style="border:1px solid var(--border);color:var(--txt);background-color:var(--bg);height:10em;width:10em;text-align:center;">Adopt an NPC</td> <td style="border:1px solid var(--border);color:var(--txt);background-color:var(--bg);height:10em;width:10em;text-align:center;">Finish a game</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="border:1px solid var(--border);color:var(--txt);background-color:var(--bg);height:10em;width:10em;text-align:center;">Make a solo game</td> <td style="border:1px solid var(--border);color:var(--txt);background-color:var(--bg);height:10em;width:10em;text-align:center;">Epic character death</td> <td style="border:1px solid var(--border);color:var(--txt);background-color:var(--bg);height:10em;width:10em;text-align:center;">Game gives you the feels</td> <td style="border:1px solid var(--border);color:var(--txt);background-color:var(--bg);height:10em;width:10em;text-align:center;">Play with a deck of cards</td> <td style="border:1px solid var(--border);color:var(--txt);background-color:var(--bg);height:10em;width:10em;text-align:center;">Happily ever after</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="border:1px solid var(--border);color:var(--txt);background-color:var(--bg);height:10em;width:10em;text-align:center;">Start playing a game</td> <td style="border:1px solid var(--border);color:var(--txt);background-color:var(--bg);height:10em;width:10em;text-align:center;">Play a game that involves drawing</td> <td style="border:1px solid var(--border);color:var(--txt);background-color:var(--bg);height:10em;width:10em;text-align:center;">Kill an NPC</td> <td style="border:1px solid var(--border);color:var(--txt);background-color:var(--bg);height:10em;width:10em;text-align:center;">Write a review</td> <td style="border:1px solid var(--border);color:var(--txt);background-color:var(--bg);height:10em;width:10em;text-align:center;">Play a journaling game</td> </tr> </table>

This is wonderful! Thank you for doing all that work to make the code copy/pasty so we can track these on our blogs.

[unholyghost]

No problem! Are you going to go for a blackout and try all of them or just a line? I think I'm just going for a line or as many as I can lol since not all the boxes interest me.

[tracingthestars]

I think I'll just aim for a line and see where it goes. I think if I try to do them all, I'll just get overwhelmed.

[unholyghost]

You're so real for that, I'm pretty much the same whenever I try to do a bingo. 🤝

[guildrone]

Huh, how strangely serendipitous—I bought Covens of Midnight a while back to try and piece together some setting details for a Legends of Akeroth playthrough (which I’ve since put on pause until that game’s own associated adventure book(s) come out instead and/or I sort myself out besides), but taking it for a spin on its own could fill this card’s top-left/bottom-right diagonal in one fell swoop. It’d also be right on time to help me decide whether I want to splurge on a pledge for its sequel…

I guess this could be a good excuse to find out whether I really dislike journalling games as categorically as I think I do.

[singedsun]

I'm so curious about Covens of Midnight! I'd love to hear more about it when you try it!

[unholyghost]

Ooouf getting a bingo with one game sounds so satisfying, I hope you have fun if you go for it! I've not heard of Covens of Midnight nor Legends of Akeroth til now, but those both look right up my alley so thanks for linking them 🫶 definitely going on the To Check Out list for when I'm a little less McBroke.

If you don't mind my asking, what is it about journaling games you dislike?

If you don't mind my asking, what is it about journaling games you dislike?

In short, as a genre I get the impression that they incentivize the exact opposite ethos that I’m looking to engage with solo roleplaying; the more I have to freehand, the less I feel like I’m let’s playing a game.

[unholyghost]

I see I see, that makes sense. I quite like having a lot of freedom because I'm in it to toy with my characters, but some do feel more like writing prompts than games which I don't usually enjoy either. I'm sure there are probably some journaling games out there that have what you're looking for since it's such a broad spectrum, but totally fair preference.

Yay!

[ysabetwordsmith]

This is awesome. Would you like to promote it over on allbingo?

Re: Yay!

[unholyghost]

Oh, sure :O I didn't think it'd count since it seems to mostly be prompt table type bingos over there, so thanks for suggesting it! I've never crossposted an entry before, first time for everything.

allbingo is for all kinds of bingo activities -- any canon or original work, any kind of fill, set cards or lists, etc.

>>I've never crossposted an entry before, first time for everything.<<

newcomers has a post about crossposting.

Re: Yay!

[unholyghost]

Thank you for the clarification! And I already posted it before seeing this response, but thanks as well for the link on crossposting!

Dreamwidth wouldn't let me add tags for some reason, though. :(

Re: Yay!

[ysabetwordsmith]

Usually you can use tags already in the community or blog, but not make new ones.

What tags do you want on the post?

Re: Yay!

[unholyghost]

Aw, maybe it was my mobile browser being janky then. I tried to add: card, community event, month: november.

Re: Yay!

[ysabetwordsmith]

Done!

Re: Yay!

[unholyghost]

Yay thank you!
