I'm enjoying my NoteQuest gameplay a lot. I hope you will too. :)

This writeup is very cool and extremely helpful to me. I just discovered pen-and-paper games a couple of months ago, and have been trying out a bunch of things across the spectrum. Finally boiled it down to a few, and starting into Notequest. It's fascinating in its simplicity and potential. I'm about half-way through your journal, and it's already helped me clarify some rule issues (there doesn't seem to be a good forum for NQ). And I actually feel that I'm in the story. Been reading "fiction" created from some other game systems, and I enjoy yours the most. So thanks!!

Do you have other writeup/review of similar games?

I'm trying out Knave with Mythic GME at the link below, but I'm not very far into that one at the moment. It doesn't seem to flow as well for me as this one but that may improve as I get used to the tools.

The Notequest journal definitely has a more action/immediacy feel, but probably because of the dungeon crawl aspects. I've never played traditional "tabletop" RPGs (though am a software developer and worked on games about 20 years ago, including an RPG). Right now I'm a bit blown away by how large the p&p/solo "marketplace" is, so having fun kicking tires. I tried Ironsworn/Starforged for a few weeks, but needed more action and direction - and surprise. So Notequest is a nice light departure from that. And I'm diving deeper into Blackoath games - initially "Across a Thousand Dead Worlds", but want to spend some time with "Ker Nethalas" and "Riftbreakers".

Are you doing your play via real pen-paper-journal approach? I have bad penmanship and some hand issues, so using digital tools - primarily The Augur, which focuses on solo play. It's working like a game atlas for me, but I'm still a beginner at this "unstructured" approach to game play. Having a blast, though.
