Cut Up Solo

A Thousand Nights and a Night

1001 Nights, or A Thousand Nights and a Night is a classic source of middle eastern tales.

Cut Up Solo is a technique that uses random snippets of text that you pick and fit together, creating what the GM says to you. You can then respond to that, and then the cycle repeats. As all the snippets in this set all come from the same tales, it gives a sense of continuity.

Cut-up play is very different from more traditional oracle-driven solo play. If you struggle with how to interpret word pairs or prompts, cut up could be for you.

These stories contain over 300,000 words of text, chopped into snippets of 4 or 5 words. You get over 65,000 snippets to mix and match in your solo games. The PDF contains two d1000 tables of snippets, and the spreadsheets contain the full set of snippets.

You also get 80 illustrations from the published stories. I included the art as I think it fits in with the philosophy of non-authoring solo play. A regular GM would use visual aids, so why not a solo GM? In this supplement, there just over 80 images included. The images are also included in another zip file so you can upload them to dice rollers, or print them on to card to create a purely visual oracle deck.
