Yes, this one! 

This sequel of WELCOME TO TROPELAND! (whose page you should visit in this link, if you have no idea of what am I talking about) adds a few hundred more tropes, conventions, archetypes and stuff. About 600 more, if I have not miscalculated (hey, it wouldn't be so strange!).

·         Supers (100): Because, at this point, this is a media genre on its own, isn’t it?

·         Camelot (50): For your Arthurian games. Which takes us to…

·         …’Tis a silly place (50): It’s not a matter of IF someone is gonna quote ‘The Monty Python and the Holy Grail’ in an Arthurian game, but WHEN…so better quote it with a reason!

·         Ancient Egypt (50): Ambulant mummies are not explicitly mentioned…because they’re a given!

·         Celtic Myths (50): Maybe I have mismatched some concepts in this one. I blame the internet for that.

·         Spanish Golden Age (50): Yes, I have included one table related to my own country. What? You disagree?!? ¡No queda sino batirnos!

·         Three Kingdoms (50): I’d rather trope-fy this era, than let this era trope-fy me!

·         Vikings (50): Sorry, no horned helmets. I’m trying to be keep the historical accuracy [SNORT!].

·         Wrestling (50): Because it’s still real to me, dammit!

·         1000000 BC (25): When dinosaurs and cavemen shared the Prehistoric Earth. Because they shared it, right? I mean…I watched a documentary about that, it featured Ringo Star!

·         Disaster Blockbuster (25): Just add one specific kind of disaster, and you’re set!

·         Magical School (25): You should combine this one with the High School table from WELCOME TO TROPELAND! Also, probably, with the Romance and Comedy one.

·         The Heist (25): This one, on the other hand, asks to be combined with Action, probably Crime, and whatever you want to add!

KEEPING CONTACT! - Standalone Social system for Solo Roleplaying

Or the link below. Or the link below-er. 

I'm not gonna judge you, in any case!

KEEPING CONTACT! is a stand-alone social system for solo roleplaying designed to be used with any other RPG ruleset. This system has been inspired by a certain style of videogame system that you’ll probably recognize if you’re familiar with it. No more details about that will be given, to not spoil the surprise. On the other hand, it can be safely said that you’ll find rules for first impressions, established backstories, long-term and short term-relationships, Faction membership, and more! Yep, including romancing!

This Social system is the stand-alone version of the one that can be found in VISORPG-Z+ (available just here, in this blog) game.

And if you’re just feeling some deja-vu after reading all this…well, plenty of this has been just a copy&paste’d from theprevious entry in this blog. As I said once: recycling is good for the environment, so let’s recycle as much as we can!

LET'S TALK! - Standalone NPC Dialogue System for Solo Roleplaying

Or some of the links below. The point was giving you options!

LET’S TALK! is a stand-alone dialogue system for solo roleplaying designed to be used with any other RPG ruleset. This system has been inspired by the classic tree-dialogue videogame system; to be precise, it’s based on those games where dialogue options are represented by just a word, short phrase, or even an icon. Luckily, this won’t be one of those games where the writer put words in the mouth of your character that you never, ever, would use, or even worse, mislead you…because in this case you would be the one selecting those words!

This Dialogue system is the stand-alone version of the one that can be found in VISORPG -Z+ (available just here, in this blog) game. To be fair, even if it was an already quite ‘stand-alone’-ish system to begin with, it nevertheless included some mentions to other mechanics. Thus, you'll find in this document a fully system-agnostic version of those rules!
