This is a very interesting and creative collection of ideas to inspire game masters in building worlds, characters and conflicts for RPGs. Using music as a supporting tool is very unique and can bring unexpected results.
Advantages:
Variety: The list includes many music genres, from rock, metal, folk to classical music https://hocvn.edu.vn/ , suitable for many different styles and races in the game.
Details: Each item in the list has a link to the song on Youtube and sometimes an explanation of the meaning of the lyrics, making it easy for users to access and learn.
Suggestions: Instead of giving specific instructions, the list suggests many interesting questions for game masters to think and be creative.
Suitable for many types of games: The list can be applied to many different types of RPGs, not just limited to a specific genre.
Cons:
Music-oriented: The list focuses mainly on music, which may not be suitable for game masters who like to use other art forms for inspiration.
Requires user initiative: Users need to listen to the music themselves, read the lyrics, and think about how to apply it to their game.
Summary:
This is a very good and useful collection of ideas for game masters. Using music as a supporting tool is a unique idea and can bring unexpected results.

Dang, how can I forget! This part of the guide is dedicated to LordEntrails for solving my map obscuring problem in seconds.

EDIT: I should mention Rob Twohy for I used his pre-gen characters to showcase the pics. Thanks for your generosity and Rest in Peace.

In Hex-Crawling style, themes can be the content of your Hexagons in a map or what your PC will experience in those hexes.

UPDATE for using Line of Sight: It can be done from GM screen: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...l=1#post723669

OG EDIT -- nope!: "but playing from player window could be more immersive."

EDIT: Found it! Randomizing Maps part is my version of Paul Bimler's Solo Adventure Resource: The Dungeon Oracle. It is a complete method to play Published Adventures Solo.

EDIT: I think I learned Randomizing Maps from one of the books I've read. I remember somewhere like Paul Bimler's The Toolbox's but I couldn't find any mention in there. If only pen and paper had ctrl+f function. I have the module, it's not there either.

Added to Resources: Laerun's Solo Player Hexploration with ChatGPT: https://chatgpt.com/g/g-vIDKY931L-solo-hexploration

It is a free (ChatGPT) resource by Laerun to flesh out your hex-crawl maps.

EDIT: There is a limit for ChatGPT usage, though.

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 x2: Free SRD Rules contains a Bestiary for monsters.

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: It's working. I just broke my campaign.

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?
