I’ve been working with my partners on creating an interactive comic universe, which we’ve geared toward elementary kids but have some books for older audiences too. Now we’re thinking about branching out into a Solo Adventure RPG, and I’d love to know what you all consider your favorite games in this genre!

You should definitely look into Ironsworn and its variants—they’re super popular for solo play! If you’re aiming for a dungeon-crawling vibe, Scarlet Heroes is excellent. There are also some neat options like the ____ Without Number games that include solo rules in their expanded editions. The options are pretty diverse, so you’ll find something that fits your style!
Welcome to the exciting world of RPGs! Don’t hesitate to ask questions as you dive in. While you’re waiting for responses, make sure to check out some great resources like the Beginner’s Guide to RPGs and the Game Recommendations list. They might really help you get started!
Ironsworn is probably one of the best non-journaling solo RPGs out there! It offers open-world exploration, and there are also variants like Ironsworn: Starforged and Sundered Isles that share the same core system but with different themes. You might also want to check out Colostle; it seems more suited for younger players.
If you’re looking for something unique, A Torch in the Dark uses poker cards for randomness and can make for some creative solo spelunking! Plus, Elegy combines the feel of Ironsworn with a Vampire: The Masquerade twist, which could be fascinating. Tiny Cyberpunk also has a solid solo section worth exploring.
I actually prefer to run standard tabletop RPGs using a GM Emulator like Mythic. It gives me more flexibility while still maintaining a rich storytelling experience.
Absolutely, it allows for more spontaneous encounters and decisions, making it feel dynamic!
That sounds interesting! Using a GM Emulator could definitely create some unique adventures. Have you found it easier to manage storytelling that way?
