Thanks for reading! Yeah it's such a well done Solo RPG. Shawn put a ton of effort into it and has been refining it. Definitely the standard I judge my own Solo RPGs against.
I hadn’t picked up on the what do you do vs what happens next distinction outside of where it’s formalized in combat. I guess it’s because I think of it as “this bad thing happens, and now what do you do next”. But phrasing it with two different questions is a good reminder of whether you’re acting or reacting.
Thanks for reading! It's a subtle difference that took me a while to internalise also. But when I did it really changed how I approached things in Ironsworn games.
Good post! I still think it's the best Solo RPG!

Massively helpful! Definitely makes me think to be more mindful about where I am in the flow when I'm playing. Great post!
Thanks! Glad it was helpful. I'd also say don't over think it. The most important part is to have fun and enjoy the game.
