Good for you. We alternate GM duty after 3-6 sessions. No long-term campaigns. Just one or two connected adventures, then we switch to another GM that proposes a different RPG. Best group and the best way to operate I had in 45 years.

It has also been a common practice in the hex & cardboard counters war gaming community since the 80s. These days, for solo, I use dry-erase map books from Loke BattleMats.

Despite having GMed and played RPGs for 45 years, my collection of RPG books is small. Once I'm done with an RPG, I sell it. If I had kept everything (books, miniatures) I bought since 1980, my 10'x12' gaming room would be unusable. My PDF collection is also small. It used to be huge, but I...

I like to solo L1 The Secret of Bone Hill, using rule sets other than TSR D&D. So far, I have soloed it with Dragonbane, Fantasy AGE, D&D 5e and Clash of Steel (Zozer). The first three were fine, but CofS didn't work well. Next time, I will use the Cypher System. I GMed L1 twice in the 80s...

My rate is $25 (Canadian) per hour of entertainment per RPG book. Most books around here cost $75, so if I play for three hours, I've repaid myself. If the book is fun to read or if the rules are very good, that is also entertainment. GM activities like drawing maps and preparing encounters are...

Weeks ago, your players force you to GM an RPG you no longer like. Now, you play a game you don't enjoy. Sorry to say this, but why are you doing that to yourself? I did that to myself for a while and it's not worth it. I stopped playing and later found a group that aligned with my tastes. Never...

Fantasy AGE 2e RPG: A new solo campaign begins. Dorgan, the fighter-hunter, and Berinda, the thief-assassin, are bounty hunters. From the capital, Casopolis, they track a gnome magician who fled south on her mount (a boar). She is accused of stealing a magical object from her Master Mage. It's...

- Game was cancelled, schedule conflict. Instead, I played Fantasy AGE solo, session 1: - Hunters tracking gnome on boar.

D100 Dungeon is also quick to pick up. Many expansions. They also have D100 Space. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/fr/product/244214/d100-dungeon-book-1 https://www.drivethrurpg.com/fr/product/406842/d100-space-book-1

There are also 2d6 Dungeon Crawler and 2d6 Realms, which might do the trick for a quick pick up. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/fr/product/455846/2d6-dungeon-a-solo-dungeon-crawler https://www.drivethrurpg.com/fr/product/491996/2d6-realm-an-overland-expansion-for-2d6-dungeon?keyword=2d6%20realm

Dungeon Crawl: Ker Nethalas: I have not played this one but I heard good things about it. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/fr/product/465235/ker-nethalas-into-the-midnight-throne?src=hottest_filtered

Hexcrawl: Barbarian Prince (FREE): Legal files on BGG: Look for Barbarian Prince Ultimate Edition. There are three files to download. Beware, it's a harsh game. Very old school. https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/1631/barbarian-prince/files?pageid=1

I have the three 2024 core books. They'd have to come out with something spectacular to make me buy something else. A detailed Greyhawk setting book with beautiful illustrations would do it.

I saw a video yesterday about this on YouTube. I wasn't sure if it was clickbait or accurate. :cry: I'm more on the side of needing only 10% to complete the project. Only time will tell if it's three death saves failed dead.

I tried really hard to like Shadowdark, but I don't see the appeal. The same goes for Tales of Argosa. I go back to Dragonbane for grunt-level fantasy and Fantasy AGE when I want cinematic heroic action with stunts.

Many solo players I've talked with over the last four years have played with groups for many years. A majority decided to play solo because they were tired of all the anti-social behaviour of other players or the GM, scheduling conflicts, choice of RPG, and all the usual suspects. The lack of...

I find I prefer regular RPGs with my own solo rules add-ons to RPGs designed specifically for solo. The Mythic GM Emulator 2e is the most used in conjunction with regular RPGs.

I solo because: 1) I loved the Barbarian Prince solo adventure game as a kid. 2) I got tired of buying RPG that no one wanted to play. 3) I like generating stories, as I go along, using orcles, tables, dice and my imagination. 4) I can play when I want, even if I just have an hour. 5) It feeds...

I downloaded the free PDF to give it a look.

We've talked about it earlier in the thread.
