This thread is dedicated to all kinds of solo games, systems, tools, and campaigns.

TQ: Let's keep it simple. What's your go-to system for solo RPGs?

I usually do a variation of Ironsworn, though i don’t think I’ve done vanilla IS. Did one starforged and one sundered isles, havent concluded either campaign. I like how simple it is while keepingvsoke back and forth in combat.

Currently cyberpunk red single playering as I got a non solo cyberpunk red game starting. Single player has some great rules and others that I’m less crazy for, but is fun as hell still.

I also have the scarlet heroes book but have yet to play it. I think I’ve been taking a break from fantasy stuff.

As of now it is Clash of Steel 2E.

B/X or AD&D derivated games most of the time, thought these days the one I am enjoying quite a lot is 4AD. The former are just absurdly easy to solo and the object-oriented design rather than narrative simulation is a huge plus.

Wonder what happened with the anon last thread that was making the module/OSR/Scarlet Heroes variant that included rules for getting bitches and other power fantasy stuff. It seemed like a cool project.

I like to play Castles and Crusades

Newbie here, but what would be a good solo RPG to start with?
I've only played 5E
>>
>>98142110
5e can be a pretty good one to start with, actually. Look up a book called "GM Yourself" (It talks about how to run 5e as a solo game, mostly by adjusting it's action economy.)
When I was a kid I would play D&D by myself and it would be fun for a little while, but ultimately get boring. But back in 2017 I looked into playing solo again, and 5e was actually the game that I started with. Ever since, I've played some sort of solo RPG about four or five times a week. It's really opened the door for me to try and experiment with different systems and RPGs. So, start with what you know... Then gradually expand.

If you want a more structured,CYOA-style experience there's the Avalon Solo Adventure System. It's essentially a gamebook that supports a party of 4, complete with time and reputation tracking, side quests and plotlines. The main quest, for one, has a sprawling line of books. There are also other books for different faction quests. It's also a lot of bookkeeping but it completely removes the burden of creating new content.

How's Single Player Mode as an oracle? It's one of the ones I'm considering to get started on solo RPGs since cyberpunk is closer to the sort of modern day action I want to play.

On the rentry, https://silaslima.github.io/simplefun-tests/ is dead and I think https://mythic-gme-adventures.idispatch.ovh/ should be added
>>
>>98147040
Ok I'll fix that later, when I get home.

WFRP 4e with Mythic GME, but someday I'll play some AD&D 2e to fuck around literally

Ah hello fellow anon who posts on both threads

you are never solo when you have yourself

>What's your go-to system for solo RPGs?
I'm trying D6 stuff lately, and today I got the feeling of revisiting FATE for solo, I loved the char customization.

DragonBane, it have the things I want. A decent open-ish class that is mostly focused on skills and a few defining feats, currency, the right amount of crunch, not too complicated monster stats, relatively static HP pool, not Vancian spells, "mana" for special ability. I've skimmed through a bunch of systems, and I wanted something that was like Swade, but not Swade, DB fits that pretty well
>>
>>98138737
Eh, I tried some solo rpgs a few times and it always felt like masturbating. It's just not the same without your homies you can jerk off.
>>
>>98150758
Try Barbarian Prince, it might give you a peek into what solo can be.
>>
>>98150758
Masturbating feels pretty good though.
