[QUOTE="The Soloist, post: 9210788, member: 7043470"] First, we both agree that it's not the same type of experience. The AD&D DMG has a section to randomly generate a dungeon. Many people have used that to play solo since the 80s. The venerable Tunnels & Trolls is mostly a solo game but can be played with a group. To solo play you need to clearly define the characters' personalities and goals with keywords or a short sentence. Once you do that you use an Oracle system to create the story semi-randomly based on the characters' goals and questions you ask. You define character actions/reactions to events using the keywords and determine the outcome with skill or attack rolls. My BX campaign with five characters is now level 5-6. The journal of events I keep is at 11,000 words. Trevor explains it very well on his solo channel Me, Myself and Die. He is a very entertaining voice actor. He helped me perfect my solo technic.
