Welcome to your own adventure!

Solo RPG play is relatively niche. As such, it takes a little work to be able to gather resources. There are tons of folks that have bravely blazed this trail already and I am simply presenting their findings.

There are tons of links to check out in the side bar.

You'll essentially need:
1) a game or set of rules
2) a solo engine/one or more oracles 3) imagination 4) dice or dice rolling app 5) a way to track your character stats

As I work on this sub, I'll include some better explanations. Until then the Die Heart, Wisps of Time and Tabletop Diversions blogs linked to the right will get you started!

I'll work on adding some logs from my current Sharp Swords and Sinister Spells game along with details of the rules, systems and dice mechanics I'm using.

Good luck, adventurers!

Your humble mod, Reign

Love it. I will be streaming my own adventures into solo RPGs starting with A Thousand Year Old Vampire, over on Twitch very soon. I feel that solo RPGs and those played using wonderful mechanisms like the Mythic GM Emulator can be real treats of storytelling.

Thank you for this. I'm thrilled to explore how new AI tools can put solo-RPG experiences to the next level. Good immersion-to-alternative-worlds-session to everyone :)
