I've been using lists like these and rolling 1d20's to determine the outcome on pen-and-paper. It's fairly common, and figured I'd share my lists with you guys. I made four custom lists (unfortunately, it looks like we are limited to only four) for your adventures.The idea is that you may use graph paper (if you wish) to chart out your map. On graph paper, 10 feet is roughly the size of one square. I'm interested to see what maps you've encountered! I've been using lists like these and rolling 1d20's to determine the outcome on pen-and-paper.

If you find issues or what to give suggestions, please do!

If you happen to come across a dungeon, darkened cavern, ominous castle, ancient deserted temple, or something of the like in your own solo adventures and want to explore it, give this a shot.

I cannot guarantee you will ever leave your dungeon - nor can I guarantee that your dungeon will be long (but there are "You find an exit" outcomes, which you can interpret however you wish. You can determine how large you want your dungeon to be by having limits if you wish. Such as: the edge of your graph paper are the boundaries, or your dungeon is X squares long/wide, or you only continue for 20 "Crawls" until you find the exit. Whatever works for you.

There are four lists: "Crawl", "Encounter", "LootChest", and "OpenDoor".

Keep in mind, that every outcome is up to your interpretation and imagination. Feel free to do what you like with the outcomes that you get. If you want to make perception checks for more loot, more encounters, more doors, more room description, go for it!

How to Use & Create Custom Lists
1. Find the "Custom" panel in RPGSolo. 
2. Click the small checklist (I think?) to the bottom left
3. Hit "New list" and type in the respective name. 
4. Then, copy and paste the list into the text box, then hit "Save Changes". 
5. After you are done, all you have to do is hit the list and the outcome is printed!

If you want to save your custom list for your current or future story, make sure to hit "Save Story" in the top right of RPGSolo. You may need to refresh your page for the lists to appear.
