Very nice set-up. Like you I am all-analogue when it comes to playing the game. I got a friend to laser-cut a box for me to store some gaming paraphernalia, and I can use the lid to track health, supply etc using marbles. Everything else is pen and paper!

Oooh interesting, I’ve just bought a laser cutter and hope to start making bits and bobs for my gaming soon!

Nice - make sure you post pics! This is a link to a pic on the Ironsworn FB group (can't believe it was taken a year ago!): https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=1627226351431394&set=gm.1700407040490288&idorvanity=328279421036397

Wow! That is sweet! Now my brain is whirring to make something similar for Fallout

I love the IDEA of playing analogue, but I just can’t bring myself to do it. So for now I track my campaign in Iron Journal, and write my stuff in Obsidian. I briefly tried Iron Vault as well but I like Iron Journal better, for the map.

Horses for courses!

I still recommend at least trying an analogue setup at some stage. It just **might** surprise you!

I agree, analog is very ritualistic and part of the Prep is play in the ironsworn system. I really enjoy Analog, I do use ChatGPT to help shape my campaign. I still roll the dice and update my character sheet.

This is amazing! Why did I not do this? I tried Ironsworn but I couldn't get the system to work. Your solo set up looks great. My set up is not as organized but like you; I don't use digital tools.

Love the map that would really draw me into the world.

Yeah, sometimes I just sit and stare at it for inspiration

I think that's the one she gave me - the matching one is on the wall in her craft room

Love this stack and the setup. Thank you for sharing it. 100% "borrowing" :) some of your ideas.

You "forgot" to number the heart on the wall. Just out of curiosity, did you give it to your good lady or did she give it to you?

Oh uau. What a nice share. It's great to see other people's setup and compare, to see if there are good ideas to draw from. My setup is quite similar. (I also use the progress sheet).
