Solo Role Playing
Posted: Sun Nov 01, 2020 6:37 pm
I'm curious if there are any of you out there Solo Role Playing After the Bomb, or TMNT. If so, I'd love to hear about it. Honestly, I hadn't even heard of Solo Role Playing as being a thing until recently.
I haven't started yet, but I've been watching numerous YouTube channels for inspiration and guidance (shout-out to the Geek Gamers and Me, Myself & Die! Channels). Through these searches I have come across several ideas and resources for trying solo gaming, currently looking through the Mythic Game Master Emulator and The GameMaster’s Apprentice cards for their Oracle systems.
What's an Oracle system? It's the bit that answers the questions you would normally pose to your GM. Yes and No questions mostly, but they also have janky ways of answering your more open ended questions.
The hardest part, for me, has been getting starting. Building that opening scene. I've got a number of hooks and adventure ideas from the past that I could probably dust off, but I've been looking for a way of building and running myself through a story that I wasn't in control of except for my characters reactions.
So if any of you have some advice or personal experience, please share.
