"I think I'm going to get into Solo RPGs!" - let's talk

[@GeekGamers01]

Thank you so much for including my work in your overview and the kind things you’ve said about it. I think you have really gotten what I was trying to do with the book-give people narrative tools to master the stories they are telling, regardless of rule set.

[@amanisalone]

Oh it is so my pleasure! Myself and so many others fell in love with this hobby because of you and your playthroughs. One day the crochet needle and little coin purse will be the sacred relics of our hobby!!

Geek Gamers indeed! First gamebook I bought was D&D Basic. I felt like I was doing alot of math. And then I got hooked on computer RPGs like Ultima and Final Fantasy gamebooks. I have now started to get into solo RPG games with Four Against Darkness (the simplest system) and I want to publish a Cairn module or a Basic Fantasy module. I enjoy your channel!

You pointed out a big problem with kids nowadays. How you said "When I was a kid I probably read said book 95 times, cause I had nothing else to do." I did the same, I remember spending hours reading the Monster Manual. Kids now have to much to draw their time. It's even harder as an adult with responsibilities.

[@carolinelabbott2451]

When I was much ypunger, I bought a lot of Shadowrun books as I lived the setting and the lore but the rules were overwhelming and no one wanted to play with a girl. So I never really got to play in that setting, as I had no idea how to play it solo. I still have the books, but it did at least made me more wary about where I spent my money. I've bought a much smaller amount of Solo rpgs pdfs (no big games book store where I live), and watching videos like yours is slower making me realised I could take the Shadowrun setting and play it Solo. I'm not feeling confident enough to record my first baby step sessions though. 😂

If you are new to D&D I suggest Sword & Wizardry White Box. Honestly it’s D&D in its simplest form. Knave is another good one too

[@rafaelcupiael]

From my observations, there appear to be several distinct cultures of solo play and design: 1. Playing as one generally would in Ironsworn or traditional RPGs using a GM Emulator (Ironsworn is hardly traditional, but for the purposes of this list is :), it's comparable to something like Me, Myself & Die solo playstyle). 2. Open Soloing / Stream of Consciousness (often seen in Geek Gamers YT videos). 3. Solo Journaling (examples include 1k Old Vampire or Magus). 4. Lyric solo games / pervasive games / ritual games (such as My Cat is an Oracle - though these can sometimes overlap with journaling games). Admittedly, this is an oversimplification and overcategorization, but I do observe significant distinctions among these categories.

[@Androsynth75]

Some good tips here, you've gotten a sub. I think one of my main pieces of advice for people wanting to get into RPGs in any form (solo included) is to use the fast food analogy: just because something is popular doesn't mean it's the best place to start. Sure, everyone eats there eventually. Is there anything wrong with McDonalds or Burger King? Nope. Would it be my first recommendation for someone wanting to try a hamburger for the first time? Hell no. For solo, I find it's much easier to get started with something like Shadowdark, Old School essentials or any of the other smaller, more modular, rules systems that are easy to read and get into. Throw in geek gamer's excellent book, Mythic GM, and some kind of oracle deck and you've really got everything you'll ever need.

[@sunidaze]

Great resources! I've been playing ironsworn and think I've spent so much time just worldbuilding. It may be my favorite part.

[@hauntedbarbiedoll]

Candlelight was actually my first foray into this sorta thing. I just saw it on the shelf at a comic book store and thought it was a neat concept before realizing there's a whole world of these sorts of things. I like writing as a hobby so they suit me perfectly.

[@RobertBrinson]

The last time I played an RPG, any RPG, was back in middle school, and I'm turning 50 this year. So, it's been a while! However, it was the Basic D&D box sets of the '80s, and I think AD&D 2nd edition was just out. Those were fun days. Now, I don't have the time or opportunity to be involved in a group RPG experience, but recently, I saw some YT videos of people playing RPGs solo. I thought, well, I can take some time here and there to make that happen. I started reading the D&D 5th edition player's handbook. I got to about the point you mentioned in the video, and I thought "What have they done!?" It's the most convoluted mess of rules. I literally had to go read an article about hit points to figure out how they are calculated as you level up and heal up. I thought, "If the HP is this complicated, then I don't have time for this." Basically, I have nostalgia for the D&D of the '80s, but either I don't remember correctly or the rules got way heavy. I'm hoping that someone might have a recommendation of an RPG that lends itself to solo adventuring, keeps the game mechanics reasonable (i.e. understandable), allows for the high fantasy races and classes that I remember, and the traditional magic and monsters. I looked into IronSworn, and I like the mechanics and the way it lends itself to developing a story. However, I didn't like that you play as a human with no distinguishable class, the monster variety seems limited, and there doesn't seem to be any magic. Any help would be appreciated!

[@amanisalone]

First of all, welcome back! Do you mind if I re-post your comment on my page to get recommendations from my followers? I think the answer to this could benefit everyone. I have a few thoughts, but I think we might get a more robust response if we call on the "tribe" so to speak. If you're not comfortable with that, no problem, I can give it a go but might be a bit more limited of a response. Glad you're playing again!!

[@RobertBrinson]

@@amanisalone That would be great! Also, as I have done more delving, I came across Old School Essentials, which is the D&D of my youth repackaged. That might be worth the investment if it can be done well in a solo format and build an epic story to be journaled. Thanks again!

The most fun I have had with Solo RPG's has been with 2 different Mork Borg adaptions. Basilisk by 1d10+5 and Dark Tides by Limithron. Both games and single page games. Both are essentially dungeon crawlers that lay everything out for you. but that's what I'm into.

[@amanisalone]

Whoa, I have basilisk, but I haven’t heard of this dark tides…it’s by Limithron?? That’s like actually a pretty good published. The solo one for Mork Borg, that I usually hear about is solitary defilement. You have piqued my curiousity

[@simontemplar3359]

I agree with your thoughts on the Game Master's series. I got back into the hobby about a year ago, and I ended up amassing a lot of these books. That series to me was always a nice thing in the sense that the tables are usable but all the "stuff" in between just gets in the way. Here's a couple of cheapo options that actually work really well for me: The mythic android app. It's all the stuff from 2nd edition and under $10. Also Table Fables 1 and 2 are brilliant and well worth having. Also the WB Yeats reference with the falcon and the falconer was solid.

[@Jilluminum]

The mythic app really is worth it's weight in gold, though sometimes I do wish I could see the tables themselves in the app so I could roll my own dice.

Awesome! Thanks for the recommendations! I've never properly played a ttrpg. D&d genuinely confused me. I loved making a character and thinking about his/her background and personality. But the couple times I've joined a group to play, it all just ended up being about what skills and weapons I picked. Like, what was all that cool background stuff in the book for? The charts and numbers and systems just muddled everything. Anyway, I'm playing through Ironsworn and I love it! The move system feels like a great balance between deciding the right action for a situation and story telling. I also love the oracle! Just give me charts of random words and let my brain fill in the gaps!

[@amanisalone]

Now you're getting that feeling you're supposed to be feeling. D&D is so often recommended as a place for people to start in the Tabletop RPG world, and I've just seen so many people quit out because the ideas in it are just not intuitive. Glad you stuck is out and are enjoying Ironsworn!

[@micah_raygun_]

I really enjoy Solo RPGs, gotta get back to them one of these days. I sort of get stuck writing too much, maybe because i use it as sort of practice for writing fiction in a low-stakes way, and i often do it by hand. The games will definitely be less of a slog if i just use bullet points, but getting some writing reps in feels important. Maybe I'll bite the bullet and start typing to see if that helps

Back in 83 when I started playing D&D... LOL no I'm going to lay down 20K words on my gaming history but I want to say I've played a lot of games. I've even played games that are geared toward solo play like ironsworn etc. If someone asked me what's a good game to play solo, I'd ask what is your favorite rpg that you are very familiar with? That's the game I'd suggest. Get or make an oracle table and run with it. But what about someone who's never played an rpg? Well I would point them toward Whitebox. Clean, easy to read, and only five bucks! I can teach anyone how to play whitebox in 5 minutes it's that easy. If they are down with pdf's there are a ton of free games and resource material available on Drivethru. You don't need a pocketful of money to have a great time in a group or solo just the desire.

So many are fixated with D20 roll high but my favorite solo TTRPG outside of 4AD & Scarlet Heroes is a D100 system I love called D100 Dungeon Mapping Game with the Book A Solo Adventuring Game.

[@juauke]

Fun fact, the first TTRPG book I ever bought was ICRPG 2E Core in French (back in last December!) at my FLGS since I was looking for a first TTRPG to start GMing (and heard it was a good choice according to Reddit) Favorite oracles is the Dark Gods' Oracle at page 98 of Black Sword Hack!

Regarding that Mythic chaos table. I'll take a formula over a reference table of numbers any day of the week. That stuff just fries my brain. I initially bounced off Ironsworn as it seemed overcomplicated but I do love a flowchart. That Dragonbane solo supplement is very good and surprisingly simple.

[@SkittleBombs]

Ironsworn is basically generic stuff you can do boiled down into moves. It’s complexity come from evocative generation of your world and obstacles rather than rolling on tables and being told exactly what happens. Try looking at ironsworn using the VTT options like iron journal or roll 20

For anyone that wants to solo RPG, watch Me, Myself, and Die by Trevor Duvall. He is amazing with explaining how to solo rpg by playing a random campaign. He directs you to the primary books and the pages where he uses the rules. My primary books that are extremely critical for solo play are Mythic GM Emulator, Solo RPG Toolkit, and UNE (Universal NPC Emulator). With these, you will never need to purchase any modules. The story writes itself as you play. I tried two campaigns and was floored how organic the story evolved from nothing.

[@amanisalone]

Yes, also Man Alone is awesome at providing a lot of great solo roleplaying tips and strategies!

[@Ancient_West]

I love Trevor and everything he does with MM&D, but my biggest gripe with his channel is that he's not really Solo-playing. He's playing to an audience. I watched 2 seasons of his before I attempted to solo play myself and I was bored when I played. There was no reason for me to describe what I was doing out loud or the intense emotions that he had. I wasn't surrounded by cameras.

[@adiosgringo8200]

@@Ancient_West True. He does a bit of theatrics for the audience which elevates his game's excitement. I do the same but without an audience. Sort of like playing with plastic cowboys \ indians or army men waaay back in the day. I always created a story for those plastic figures in the garden.

[@kellerglee]

Great video as always! I heavily favour Mythic as it “explodes joy” for me just imagining how I could literally play any rpg system with it. That being said, Ironsworn has also interested me, but always get put off by the amount of stuff you need, cards to be printed, put them in sleeves to mark them etc. Is it possible to play it without all that extra stuff?

[@Cossentine]

There are actually websites where they've automated everything about the games in one spot. Iron Fellowship is the one for Ironsworn and the Starforged one is called Crew Link or something.

As a long time solo player, I find stuff made for soloing like Ironsworn, Starsworn, etc. is less fun than playing a traditional game with an Oracle.

[@ArcNeoMasato]

I'm actually really interested in how the usefulness of a book shifts in terms of solo play or normal play, as I use those random encounter books constantly for standard DMing, if only as spring boards from which to start customizing things, because I find it much easier to take a thing and tweak it than starting from scratch.

[@Shamustodd1]
