newbie adventure tool

Post by marksimmsmin »

Im new so this is why its important to me, as you all are great adventurers you may have forgotten your first encounter!

I would like a NPC solo adventure to tutor me through the TOOLs and basic RPG knowledge NOT a tutor more a solo adventure with help?

thanks Mark

This really isn't possible in the true sense of the word "solo adventure." MT is not a game, it's just a tool that acts as an interface between 2 or more people. It has little to no automated game system tools to account for solo adventures.

The absolute best someone could do is put together a map that had a ton of information boxes on it explaining various features of the program as you moved tokens through the map. I think that would fall into the category of "tutorial" though. But, something like it could still be useful for new users.

hi trevor

That was exactly what Im looking for , to see how a game goes! could have done with it in slow motion though so I could match what was typed with the events apart from that is was fantastic and a good unusual senario, do you have anymore?

thanks Mark

There's also session #1 and #2 in the same forum.

I could go slow, but it's compressin 3-4 hours of gametime. We'll be making some tutorial videos that will help guide new users.
