I was really skeptical of solo games, but recently it just clicked and I've had a lot of fun with it.

The idea of using random tables and soloplay as tools for a larger worldbuilding project is something I am also working on. I'd love to hear more about your journal game, what sorts of mechanics you're using etc.

I tryed many game systems including DCC, Dungeon World, Ironsworn, from D&D Redbox to 5e, and Castles and Crusades. There were things I liked about all of them and more; but the 1 game system for me that best covered the best of them all is Martin Knight's D100 DUNGEON MAPPING books RPGame system. I really love this D100 Dungeon system.

Zozer Games has two solo books for Traveller; one for Classic Traveller the other for their HOSTILE setting (gritty 80s sci fi), each has work flows for different types of campaigns--commercial spacer, marines, roughnecks, exploration, etc.

I grew up playing Ambush! My dad is a wargamer and he has the box and all the expansions. He would often play that game with me, because I was to young to play actual wargames against him. You play a squad of 8 soldiers and we would just split them up. I would get 4 and he would get 4. Next we'd try to run them through WWII with all the scenarios in order of date (instead of difficulty). Cool thing was that I did this same thing with a friend from my RPG group once. The look on his face when we were getting our arses kicked by this primitive AI system using prompts and a slide card was just brilliant! Well worth it if you can get it.

Great video!

I love the idea of having a set beginning and end point. Very cool.

Excellent video, love your enthusiasm! Was wondering if Paladin, a Pendragon cousin, would be good for solo and your comments sold it! Very interesting!

Nice video... I am subscribing!

The are two new books coming out for Forbidden Lands: The Bloodmarch wich expands the content with a new region west of The Ravenlands, and The Book of Beasts a huge bestiary. This Book of Beasts also contains more tools for generating stuff and a Solo Rules section similar to the one found in Twilight 2000.

Good as general discussion. Screams for photos and specifics!

Hey new subscriber here, trying to get into solo rpgs! Literally have not played one yet but watching this for some ideas. Any suggestions on where to start? And secondly what all I would need for it??

For people looking for solo campaign advice: What I did is find an RPG system I like, and then adventures I'd never been through. You don't even have to read the adventure beforehand, so every new page can be a surprise. There's lots of this stuff found online. - There's a system called Black Streams -- that's your basic rules for actual solo adventuring. It covers combat, damage, surviving impossible odds, etc. It's free, so you've lost nothing but time if you don't like it. It's part of a larger ruleset called Scarlet Heroes. I love the system but loathe the setting. - If you can find the Fabled Lands gamebooks he mentions, get them. They all fit together, so that you can transition from one book to another simply by making a choice. Pre-programmed adventures are better, sometimes. The Conquered Lands is the first book in that series. - There are several Tunnels and Trolls adventures that are set up for solo play. You'll have to do some converting beforehand or on the fly like I did. - If you're truly on your own, download the free One Page Solo Engine. It's super-useful for a basic structure to set the scene and keep things moving when you don't have a pre-planned adventure. - Reddit has tons of tables covering nearly anything you can think of. Sorry there are no links -- my first comment had them and got deleted.

I just picked up the Pendragon 6 ed starter set. Really liking what I'm seeing and reading. Want to get the core book, but may wait till the new 6 ed core book is out. That great campaign book sounds great. Heard about it from quite a few sources.

Have you ever covered Warhammer Quest the OG version? I know it was borne out of Heroquest but I think it really had great playability for solo play or for when you only have 2-4 people and no one wants to GM

Use apps on your ipad for spells and monsters to help finding them quickly. Like the video!

I actually just discovered Ironsworn and I think it's cool. I'm creating a character and building my world at the moment before starting. The character I'm making is also Spirit-bound. His name is Bataar and he is a sea God, and due to misdeeds that caused the death of another God he was stripped of his godly powers. His background vow is to reclaim his God hood and the spirit that is haunting him is the God whose death he caused. I think that will be pretty cool.

I'm about to start Thousand Year Old Vampire with an actual journal from Walmart and a dice rolling app, as well as Mörk Borg and the Four Against Darkness and Alone Against Fear games

The Video is greate and it give me some ideas for my own solo games. But can you give me the Name of this Prague Alchemy game please? This sounds very interesting.

Thank you for the content. If you wanted to play with others perhaps you wouldn't have selected the viola.

Very cool. Do you play with people at a table or vtt? I am enjoying your solo play videos, but I feel a little sad for you.

That toupee just ruins the whole upload...
