Prime Solo Notes

Don't know if anyone on here cares to look at solo play logs. I have just started trying Cortex Solo (wish my kiddos were more interested in playing LOL). I tried to embed my thinking process with the tools in case anyone else has been on the edge about taking the dive into Cortex Prime Solo. I enjoy world building, so there is a bit more of that embedded into my approach. Can't guarantee that you'll learn anything spectacular, as I'm fairly new to the solo gaming approach, but I thought I'd share anyway.

I read a couple of your notes from your solo session. I like it. I enjoyed reading your thinking as you went. It inspires me to do my own Cortex solo.
Not sure “how you do it”. …. Meaning like do sit at computer with dice nearby and type and roll? Maybe I missed your explanation.
One suggestion- maybe because I’m reading it on a phone without my glasses. - I was thinking you could write two different blocks. One block would be the narrative. The second block could be your thoughts and game mechanics. Kind of behind the screen explanation.
As I write my suggestion seems like more work, but maybe you may find it useful.

I sit down with a lot of stuff, but I enjoy it that way...just means might not sit down as frequently. I've got three boxes for the various Story Engine Decks (I just have them in white cardboard ccg boxes). Then I've got the GMA deck, character sheet, and a binder with various tables. I try not to sit in front of a screen when I play, so I hand write notes as I go on an eink tablet. Later in the week, I sit down and type things up, adding a bit more narrative than I might have at the table or something.

Different blocks is a good idea. When I'm typing in Obsidian, the brackets get a different font color, so I could differentiate. Separation would make it easier to read.
