I have no idea about the genesis of the "roll and write" genre but I was in Vegas (with a 6 hour layover in SLC) to visit my family and there was a lot of downtime. While I did play the role of street performer for a while outside with my new parlor rig, I also spent a bunch of time playing this:
greygnome.com/doom-realm/

It's free.

I was shocked how much fun this was. Really an engaging thing. I'm going to be building some of these too now. Everyone should, I think.

This looks really cool. I mean, I'm not a solo gamer nor a PnP guy, but I think I'm giving this a shot.
It's so old skool looking I can't resist...

This is 1000% up my alley, and I dig the simplicity of the rules. Thanks for the heads-up!

The original is here as an HTML app, but it's not great. I could make one in Excel as a
VBA app, but I'm not sure it would be awesome.

I have a concept of making a book with a 6-mission campaign, and the back 10 pages are basically little paragraphs that you read when you explore a ? or fight a boss battle.

So, I had not a lot of shit going on today, so I'm about a quarter done coding a VBA EXCEL game in this vein.

So far it works.

I decided that going the excel route would be a white hot bitch so I abandoned many lines of code because this is more attuned to IOS anyhow. Now I need to Hackintosh my PC or something to get Xcode and make this in my spare time.

In the meantime, though, I made an adventure not unlike the one I posted, but Sci fi and slightly more complex. I'll post it when the rules are done.
