3 Things to look for to help you start playing TTRPGs (solo) and 5 TTRPG examples

Procedures, Oracles, and Generators are three things to look for that can help you start playing a TTRPG with your group or solo, or help make your game even more fun! Here's how! Procedures are needed in any game. They explain how to apply the rules to play the game. But, the way the procedures are designed, laid out, or taught, can greatly influence your experience in the game. Oracles are way to find answers when you're not sure what will happen next. They can be useful, not just for solo play, where you don't have a Game Master to ask questions to in order to learn about the scenario/world, but also if you are the Game Master, in order to help add variability, randomness, or emergent qualities to your game. The game world can start to form while you play. Generators can assist in how we build the game world. They can be used for inspiration or double as oracles. We can also use the game's procedures to make our own oracles or generators, too. This video shows 5 different TTRPG game systems and their approaches to these three things. Check out my channel for actual plays of these systems and more to see how it all comes together.
