Tilt: An oracle for solo roleplaying

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Tilt offers a different take on odds based oracles. Its aim is to help you generate obstacles that encourage problem solving using the resources available to you in your RPG of choice. This is achieved with a simple mechanic that answers Yes and No questions but has a twist of its own. You will find guidelines and examples on how best to achieve this type of play.  

In addition to the oracle, included is an ideation process coined "Mincing Your Words" which uses your favorite works of fiction or non-fiction to help you generate narratives. My hope is that it will help your adventures feel more grounded in the types of works you love. 

Note: Tilt itself is NOT a narrative oracle with lists of keywords or images to interpret. There are no random events. Its main mechanic relies on providing binary answers (yes or no) to closed questions in a manner that challenges the player.

Thought I'd apply the cut-up method to my next adventure, which shall rely heavily on an atmospheric novel. I didn't like the idea of taking scissors to a book, but a global best-seller from 1972, I ought to find one of those on a 25-cent cart at a library shop, and they'll be glad some use was made from it.

There are a couple of online tools that I use when I find the source text online, but there are a few dead tree works that I have which I can't find in digital format. There's a designer that came up with an idea of a piece of paper with a rectangular hole in it that you can use to frame a partial sentence. There's a way to randomize the page you go to, and where to place the piece of paper.

It's a bit more work, but it's clever and it preserves your book. :)

Is there a print version available anywhere? If not is it able to be legally printed?

Hi Michael,

Unfortunately, I'm not skilled at typesetting, so no plans for now for a print version. The zip file includes a black and white version of the PDF to save ink. As far as I'm aware, there are no restrictions to printing.

Thanks!

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
