I also think this is a great way to learn a new TTRPG system by playing some scenarios by yourself before presenting the system to your group as a DM.

Imagine someone wants to play a RPG and has no gaming experience AT ALL. Rather than sitting and telling what a person requires, you need to show all the materials. That includes actual construction, the process, development, all the parts and how they’re utilized.

I have watched a few videos on solo RP, but this tutorial should have been the first step. great guide

I'm excited by this

Thanks for doing this!! I have never done TTRPGs before and this makes me want to try Ironsworn

Oh wow, that is the best explanation I've seen yet! You make it so very clear regardless of game being played. This is just what I needed!

thanks! i was so lost and now i feel prepared to start my solo campaign!

How to set tone to die rolls. 3 fate die. You add or subtract die based on ability mod.

I solo because no one I know of plays anymore, I find it cathartic really. My imagination really fires on my own these days, the characters I make and use I feel I know them personally and it’s really a kick to guide them in their lives. Usually I’m a god, and I’ve performed miracles now and again and have “met” a few characters in world etc. one thing is, you can’t god mode them…I’d hate to see them die but free will is a must for it to be “real”.

Not role playing so much as a writing exercise.

Oh no. I can feel the disappointment in your voice 😨. I did not see that ending coming. The dice are the true story tellers. I commend you for sticking to what the dice said. Great video, friend! Hope there is more to come.

What software do you use for your background sounds? I've been looking for some copyright free sounds and music for my future videos.

Not gonna lie, your sound effect you made for the whisper as the roots were trying to grab them was legit! I thought it was a sound sample at first. 😂

I miss your videos, friend! Hope you come out with more soon.

I finished my game system!! I'm super excited and came to.rje conclusion to name it THE MYTHOS FORGE SYSTEM CODEX.🤩🤩🤩

amazing video, thank you!

Very good video and very good points you have there.. what I want to try is play this system in Glorantha world. Take example little area of glorantha and at least use some glorantha region take animals and monster that is living that area in gloranta. Not sure is this even possible but just a thought..

This is super helpful guide thanks! This should be a standard methodology for anyone looking to start out doing solo RPG. Fleshing out the NPCs, factions, and conflicts really helps. Also always looking for potential OBSTACLES keeps the story moving forward. Subcribed!

Thank you very much for this! I have had the Free League's Alien RPG for years and found nobody to play with. Going to try to run this solo

I was a contributor to Ironsworn Delve, and strongly recommend that you use it in conjunction with the original Ironsworn. It adds a lot to the game.

You could use The Crying Blades as your system as well.

While it's cool that there are ways to play TTRPG's solo and even systems designed for this, I think I'd rather just play a CRPG like Fallout, even if just to avoid having to deal with all the trouble of comming up with a main conflict on my own for my character to solve. In this case, all I have to do is create a character build, I don't even really need to come up with a backstory.

What I added into my campaign is 3 oracles, one for randomised waypoints, one for random encounters and one for Divine Guidance... I play a tale of the last people in Ironlands who believe in a God, so lack of interaction with said God mechanically made no sense in the story... I also decided that "Varou" in my world will not just be werewolves, but instead generally the animal folk, which includes cat people, bird people and wolf people... I just need better names for the three... I might also add an oracle for getting ill, to allow something more flavorful to happen when you drop to 0 health outside of combat and assets about guns would help me with adding dwarfs I believe... Thank you for that idea!

This is a bit of an older video now, so I'm not sure if you still read the comments, but I really appreciate you making this! I've been really wanting to play DnD for awhile now but so far my experience with tabletop roleplaying games (specifically Warhammer) hasn't been... great. So discovering that it is actually possible to play solo has been exciting. Finding info on how to do it properly without being told to "just write a book" or other various snarky comments has been really difficult, though. Finding strangers on the Internet to play with doesn't appeal to me right now, and the idea that I want to try to play out probably wouldn't interest many people since it would be one race specific gameplay for quite awhile. So having a video like this to reference is going to be so incredibly helpful as I muddle my way through figuring out how to play solo AND play DnD for the first time lol

Totally helpful, totally sympathic. Thank you for the video. I'm a total beginner and am about to try a free starter adventure which one can find out there :) But your tips are gold. I'm definitely coming back :)

I am thinking of creating items that the PCs can have. Each item shall have a different ability modifying or adding to relevant stats and can be used in certain circumstances to mitigate poor die rolls. As such I have not designed any such item. But I am looking too. Please comment if this is suitable for Ironsworn as I am new to it. Also, I have made it a point to increase any one stat by 1 for every 10 experience points. This would represent my characters levelling up.

Tanglewood? More like strangle wood... nice

2 things. 1. I also have those Cthulhu Dice. 2. I keep trying to solo play only to find that I hate it and I'd rather be doing game prep lol

The key would be to make scenarios for other solo players so there’s still some mystery. Still working out how to do it!

What are your favorite books and other sources for printing tables? I try to avoid digital as much as possible

Its always interesting to hear how others go about solo roleplaying. I am however surprised at how man times you said "then you HAVE to" all that world building stuff that took up a lot of the video doesn’t have to be done at all, it can all be rolled for as you go to create the world around the story. Im also curious if you purposefully didnt mention any of the great systems and resources specifically made for solo play?

I started to integrate ChatGPT into my solo sessions. It doesn't replace any tables or dice but it is very good to fill some of the void and create atmosphere. For example I get into a tomb and roll some characteristics about the tomb from tables and feed them into chatgpt. Then I ask chatgpt to describe the first room in detail and it does as it is told. Or I ask the ai to combine things. "I got quest a and location b. Now, what could they possible have in common?" It is also excellent for journal keeping. I tell the ai what I do while playing and in the end I ask for a summary. Saves me a lot of work.

Good to see you’re still active, your videos are invaluable.

love the breakdown of subclasses, the allusion to literary tropes is both cool and helpful for understanding the broader idea of the class or subclasses and builds on the symbolism of each villain, which helps in the case of storytelling with the villain as a medium for worldbuilding as well as plot progression.

This is inspiring me to put together my own solo play campaign since my players are noncommittal altogether and are not gaming at all for at least over two years or more.

Goes to a lot of trouble for something that is as simple as a one-page Oracle sheet and a 1d6. Don't need all the worldbuilding prep. Does anyone ever know everything about the world? Most don't carry an exact map of every place they explore. Just write up a scenario, consult the Oracle, interpret, and as things come up, use the rules of the system to resolve actions. It can be as simple or complex as you want it to be.

Thank you for going through the trouble of putting together this video. I found it very helpful.

I love this so much, thanks for this! I have a few friends who want to play (when we can find time) but i need to learn these game systems and practice beforehand!

Do you think guys like this in a scream band use that same voice to yell at their kids to take out the trash?

These may possibly be the best tips for solo RPG I've come across so far, at least when it comes to my own personal style

You could have your character's rival learn of their disappearance and investigate.

Dude, it's almost as bad playing a one on one game, and the dm never breaks eye contact. Jokes aside, solo table top is og and is very fun, good video!

Thanks for this video. It's one of the best I've watched for getting a solid overview of playing an RPG. Seriously, quite organized and well explained. Subscribed. Liked.

14:57 no one thought that old man made any sense, until you saw for yourself the dreaded Land Shark.

I am new to dnd and I want what you mean when you said you game system.... what is a game system?

And my Heroes and villains faction choices are Holy Theocratic, when I’m a Lawful Good paladin I like to kill demons and undead and protect the church from dark threats, when I’m Lawful Evil I like to kill heretics and heathens that refuse to convert to the holy true faith.
