EDIT: I finally found the source of this, but the usage is older than the video. Of course, with GreatGM's explanations it's way more enlightening.

EDITED: Only missing thing is Monster Manual to generate enemies. (dammit, i keep forgetting things.)

EDITED: I polished this entry up a bit.

UPDATE: I was testing JimSocks' Content Gen 2020 for my guide's module and I'm having problems on generating from templates. It might be because I borked the campaign by first loading extensions then removing them. Or the gen is old and the new theme update has conflicts. DndSpeak tables still have enough content though. I will open a topic about it in forums later.

EDIT: A Solo RPG System includes everything in here in one book but with its own setting. I'm not in that loop since forever so I can't remember all the settings I tried but Ironsworn and SoloDark are two recent ones. There are old and new Hex Crawl (Diablo Style in an empty hex map + random tables) solo systems, too.

ADDED to Resources:

• Decked Out by Saagael: https://forge.fantasygrounds.com/shop/items/910/view to use cards to introduce random encounters.

Scroll down to roll.

Wait for me as I'll turn these into a game template in the Module version of the guide. And guide you through them.

10k character limit is too restricting for what I wanted to do.

I'm preparing my guide as a FGU module and you will be able to play this with free content from FGU website and pay what you want content from dmsguild. Without world limit, I can give you ways to create YOUR own content, better. But there are other topics I should write first to complete the guide.

EDITED: Do you remember the epic plot twist in 1995 crime thriller "The Usual Suspects" where a crippled con-artist called Verbal (Kevin Spacey) created the legend of a shadowy crime lord Kayser Söze in front of a US Customs Agent?

Another Example:

Step 2 - My objects: toothbrush, soap, tube of lipstick.
Step 3 - d8 Roll: 2. Sudden Reversal. (My PC's fortune: dead end -> hope).
Step 4 - Linking: My PC investigates the old man in the tavern and founds an empty tube of lipstick that is filled with solid soap in where he stayed last night. He must have forgotten it in his room. Grabbing the toothbrush that's left in a drawer and removing the soap, he reveals the note that will solve the case!

New Quest: Read the note and use it as a clue.

My Example:

Step 2 - My words: Greeting, provision, master.
Step 3 - d8 Roll: 7. Flashback
Step 4 - Linking: My PC has a flashback of visions where he remembers his master (patron) greets him and provides him the info that now seems suspicious. Ties to the context: My patron stinks and this old man could be his employee to misdirect me to my doom.

New Quest: I must find out why!

I polished this entry. Boy, do I write chaotically.

EDIT: I just downloaded it. In the free pdf there are rules / oracle, prompts and dungeon name gen BUT for npc / monster resources, you will need Shadow Dark RPG itself.

For years, I always wanted to add a peaceful conflict resolution song to this list but every time I try, my eyes catch the March of Cambreadth and all of a sudden I SEND THOSE B*ST*RDS BACK TO HELL!

Added: symbol dictionary and The Devil's Dictionary links.

EDIT: I just remembered where did I learn Starting Game Mastery part:
