FAQ/Q&A

What is solo role playing?

Solo role playing is a form of role playing where you play completely by yourself as both the player and to a certain extent the GM. Many solo RPG systems use oracles, which
are tables of words and ideas, to answer questions and give inspiration to the solo player so that they can focus on playing instead of being the GM.
Why should you play solo?
Unparalleled freedom, allows forever GMs to experience being a player, lets people unable or unwilling to find a group experience TTRPGs.

What does solo play have over say writing or /qst/ing?

"Well the randomness from the dice, tables, and other systems take the game in directions you wouldn't think to, so it's unpredictable. That's pretty much it:
randomness."
"Would necessarily use the term "over." Soloplay has it's own sets of challenges when compared to writing, running or playing in a /qst/, or cobbling together or using a
CYOA. Oracles are not always kind, neither are the dice or cards. A lot of times you're forced to push forward with non-optimal choices, and in a lot of cases you have to
accept loss or defeat. It can be a lot closer to a solitaire wargame, like the pocket ones they sell for travel or camping."
"Solo play is what you want it to be - it can part writing, part rolling and interpreting within an oracle and system, or it can be mostly rolling and going through the
scenario in your head. You could play something similar to a /qst/ that goes in ways you don't expect - without voting - because of the dice rolls; you could face a bad
situation that gets worse, then the character performs poorly, creating tension and twists where you wouldn't find it writing. Some of the quality will depend on how you
setup your random tables and game, some on your interpretation and imagination - it's not something you can pick up and do at a high level without some experience
and practice."

How do I get started?

Play Ironsworn or use a system alongside Mythic GM Emulator, Conjectural Roleplaying Gamemaster Emulator, or MUNE. If you struggle to get things moving watch the first
episode of Me, Myself and Die which demonstrates how solo play works (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9ag6U3a8eM )

What systems/tools are available?

There are all sorts of different systems, tools and play aids available. Da Curated Archive has some solo troves with plenty of them, and you'll also find some in the rentry:
This document has a list of various tools and systems, keep scrolling down.

What do you recommended for Systems, Oracles, and Games?

"You want to play fantasy? Ironsworn."
"Mythic is kinda fiddly and some people don't like the chaos mechanic - I think the newer oracles that use clocks for interrupts on No results have better elegance. The
rest of the system is solid and the variations are good but roll heavy and require some system expertise to work, so it's not just pick up and play. It does have a lot of
good supplements you can use with or without Mythic, such as the Adventure Crafter, Location Crafter and Creature Crafter. MUNE, Zathrum, Apocalypse Oracle are all
simpler and effective oracle systems. They work best when tacked onto an existing RPG system, though. For these, you generally want to find other tables and - I'll call
them themed oracles because I'm not sure what to term them - tables that have specific outcomes that you find lacking in your game (dialogue, encounter, scene, seed,
etc). UNE is a good example of these and the author has a few other short books that are solid. I suspect most of people use a mish-mash of stuff they like if they play for
more than a few sessions."
"Oracles like 9 Questions and Perilous Intersections are solid and very useful if you feel your solo play is directionless or you struggle with making your adventures feel
dramatic."
"Journaling solo rpgs lean on a mixture of oracles and prompts in order to progress the story. The nice thing about most of them, such as the Wretched & Alone series, is
that it is a very fluid and quick system, with a lot of variations--however the prompts are usually limited, so you get more out of these types of games if you're willing to
include your own prompts if you enjoy a particular game or setting."

What games are/aren't solo friendly?

"Crunchy games. It seems like most people like simple games. So avoid things like Shadowrun, GURPS, HERO, or any kind of majorly crunchy game."
"Technically speaking you can run any system you want solo. However, crunchier systems can be challenging to run alone and generally aren't recommended for
beginners to solo play."

How do I create scenes?

"A scene is created by either randomly generating a prompt from a generator/oracle (The Adventure Crafter, Picture Dice, Word generators, etc) and then interpreting
the results to fit the game currently being played; Or alternatively by manually thinking of a scenario for your characters to find themselves in during play"
"Either use a prompt from an oracle/random table or think of a scenario on your own."

How do I conduct combat?

"Combat is conducted through the same means conducted during group play of an RPG. Your system will outline the rules of combat and you follow those rules the same
way you would if playing normally, such as assigning each character initiative or tracking positions in battle. Any aspect of combat can be simplified, skipped, or
expanded on to your liking at any time during play such as simplifying combat to just one or two rolls or treating a combat encounter with the same depth as a tactical
game"
"In terms of mechanics the normal combat mechanics of your game should work fine. As for deciding what NPCs will do during encounters, you can either consult an
oracle or make the decisions yourself. You can find a simple, universal oracle for NPC behavior below. https://drive.google.com/open?
id=17JMSEmxMh_icbepdc4ej070yzWAp2Mko "

How do I DM?
This is a primer on the different skills you'll need to DM. https://thealexandrian.net/gamemastery-101

Any other advice?

"There's ways to play modules and there's rules for making a more coherent improvised story.
Perilous Intersections is really good for putting structure on your improv games, but just remember that you have control and that you can use other tools like
Hex/Dungeon creation rules to supplement it. It has rules for danger levels, mystery solving, scenario length, etc.
There's even a 'clock' so that if you can't get ahead/solve the adventure things will begin to reveal themselves to you, but in the worst way possible. So you never really
get stuck.
 As for using modules, there's Mythic 2nd edition and GM Yourself, but they put rules for something that is really simple. Just be the GM and use the PCs as NPCs. Use an
oracle to determine their actions/reactions to your GMing. That way you can use all the modules/published adventures very easily and don't even need rules for a one
man party or things like that. But I'm a forever GM, so it feels natural to me. If you're mostly a player, idk if it would be as easy.
Oh, and if Perilous Intersections is too complex for you at first, use The 9Qs. It's very structured but it's the most easy to follow solo tool. You just read and use it as you
read it. No need to learn it beforehand. There's also a lot of written actual plays for it (for Perilous Intersections too) if you need examples."

"Some ttrpgs have their own structure, like old school D&D with dungeon turns/random encounters and the like.
If you want more structure, there's a lot of them out there for solo and for regular ttrpgs.
Here's an example. Look at structure p 56+. (from The Calypso Compendium)"

"As for playing as the GM, it can be real easy. Just roll to see if a PC/the party would do something. Can be a Wisdom roll, and Idea roll, whatever works with your game
system. Give logical odds. You know there's a trap in the passage. Would the party look for traps? They are fleeing from the Ogre, so they can't. You don't roll , they just
don't have the time to look. Use the rpg rules to determine if they trigger the trap.
Or, you know there is a trap in the right corridor, but the left is safe. They don't have any clue. Roll luck or something similar to see which corridor they go through.
A way to create random events is also good. Let's say they happen on a match of the dice when you roll a d100 for idea and luck. In this case it means the PCs, not the
world, acts in a weird/unexpected way (but still logical). So maybe the party yells to attract monsters so they can get keys/maps from their dead bodies or something. It
depends on the type of PC the party is composed of and if it makes sense. Or if a lone PC in the group do what he wants despite the party's wishes. Fuck that thief for
attracting the goblins just because he didn't want to explore and wanted an easy map. He's not the one who had to fight a horde of ugly green garden gnomes. They
didn't even have a map or any keys!"

Writing Tools
Obsidian, a note taking program with hyperlinks https://obsidian.md

Useful plugins for Obsidian:

-5e statblocks- comes with everything in the SRD but you can load this one with statblocks downloaded from 5e.tools and other places
-Admonition- allows you to customize cool collapsible text boxes that clearly separate what you put in them from the main text. Great for oracle rolls, combat details, skill
checks, etc. in-line with your adventure but kept completely separately.
-Advanced Tables- lets you navigate tables with the arrow keys
-Dataview- not RPG specific but important plugin
-Dice Roller- nuff said
-Obsidian Leaflet- allows you to embed images as maps and set a custom scale which lets you drop pins on the map, measure distances between points (if you set the scale),
and create routes
