NOTE:  Formatted for American Letter size, which means large per our scene. This was done, so you can draw on your hexes, write in it, and allow it to be easy to see and use. Can be printed out at home as regular half letter zine (in booklet format), but will be pretty tiny to read. Yet possible and fully usable!

Or print out at size, and put in your 3-ring binder!!

In this (2)d8 only book, you will get an enclosed toolset to generate a session and/or campaign on the fly, or, to roll and prepare in advance. Great for the soloist or group player.

You get:

  • three "campaign" sections, which include a hexmap, 2 grids, and a dot sheet.
  • numerous blank d8 tables per section for you to fill in to your preference
  • D88 Wilderness Encounters
  • D88 Dungeon Encounters
  • D88 Settlement Encounters
  • D88 Loot Body table
  • D88 Item Creation tables (Mundane & Magical)
  • 72 Dungeon Geomorphs to roll and draw from (make them wobbly for caverns)
  • Multiple d8 NPC and Settlement and Dressing tables
  • Numerous d8 tables to create world generating things on the fly
  • two blank "idea" pages, for you to collect inspiration
  • places for each section to keep track of NPCs, rumors, threads, etc

NOTE:  This is made for fairly generic vanilla fantasy, with things like goblins, gnomes, gnolls, dragons, golems. Add your chosen ingredients in the blank tables to throw in the spice! It does not contain stats, so that it can be played with any fantasy role-playing game. I do not write full expositions here. You will need to add names and specifics.

It is designed to be a living document of sorts. Add your own treasure, rumors, creatures, encounters before a session. Then, when you play with the characters, mix it up, roll on those for specific flavor and then the included tables for some filler. If you are a solo player, generate hexes, waypoints, locations, encounters all on the fly, with 2 d8s! 

Either unite the 3 campaign sessions for one long, epic campaign. OR, have three ongoing campaigns at once. Have all the tools and tables at hand, enclosed, organized.


Plans for printed editions underway!

Your procedures are among the best I've seen in the solo rpg. It's among the best dungeons procedure that I've tried. Easy to run, simple & inspiring table. I use them with my other rule system (FORGE, Plight, OSE). I got your other 

You could add more table for monster encounters per terrain for low level/mid-level and you have an amazing tool for any OSR game!

There are a few new solo rpg like Plight and FORGE that packages a lot of procedures, but none come close to the experience you have. After playing a few games of Four Against the Darkness, I was hoping to find something closer to D&D 1e/2e. Your system works perfectly. 

Just saw a redux version of this on The Lost Bay. What's the difference? I got mine a while ago on Exalted Funeral.

are there any community copies available?

I’m a disabled pensioner and would really appreciate a copy please

This is so convenient, 5 stars, thank you 🖤

thank you for the note! Appreciate that

whats the difference between Solo Gaming Sheets and Deluxe Campaign Notebook?

The Campaign Book is built around the d8, whereas Solo Sheets are all d6. The Campaign book is more expansive, with more space to add in your own GM bits. CNB has more encounters. It also has more pages for several different games, whereas the Sheets are more for a single campaign. I think of the CNB as more GM friendly tool, for prepping, alongside solo play.

Looking for a community copy? Any luck in getting one?

Is there a way to buy this outside of itch.io? Im having constant, strange payment problems on this site. Thanks!

Hmmm....I'm sorry to hear that. This is the only place I have it available for sale. Havent had an issue before. Sometimes, I think, customers from countries outside US may have a slight delay. However I can upload some free Community Copies. If you check back in later today, you're welcome to one of those

Woow, thanks a bunch, i really appreciate it. This notebook is magnificent, so much useful tables, will make campaign planning so much easier fro me as a new GM. No, its not the delay, i cant pay at all, because of some error every time i try to buy stuff from here. Maybe its debit card problem or just my location from europe, who knows.  Thanks again for the copy and have a nice day!

Awesome stuff! I have been using the Campaign Notebook for my adventures and it is absolutely spot on. Tons of tables packed in, too. Highly recommended!

Any chance for an A4 formatted version?

Alas, probably not. This was laid from the beginning to fit American letter

(-1)

Could this be printed A4, what are the trade offs for thise not in thr US?

Hello, I think this could be done A4...if "made to fit" etc....? not entirely sure. i dont understand the comment about tradeoffs? if you could clarify, I could answer better. Thanks!

(-1)

Sorry, as in would there be any cropping/ formatting issues.

Bit late, but FYI it prints absolutely fine on A4 (very nicely in fact; used the fit option in Acrobat). Just thought I'd mention it in case anybody else was worried.
