A downloadable game

  • Are you looking to get started with Solo Roleplaying, but aren’t sure where to begin?
  • Are you feeling overwhelmed by the complicated rules and countless systems?
  • Do you spend a lot of time prepping, but struggle to actually start playing?

This game is designed to make it as easy as possible for you to dive into solo roleplaying, and complete your first adventure. You will learn a straightforward, novice-friendly, zero-prep, step-by-step framework for improvising fun storytelling-focused adventures, one 10-minute scene at a time.

In seven steps, you will complete your first mini-adventure, and learn how to improvise stories that can turn into a series of longer adventures or campaigns. You will start playing immediately, complete the game quickly, and see how simple and straightforward solo roleplaying can be.

Despite the simplicity, this framework has enough depth to support any story you can imagine, and works well for advanced players and long-term campaigns.

You should try this game if:

  • You're new to solo roleplaying, and it feels complex and overwhelming.
  • You get bogged down in worldbuilding and character creation, you prep a lot, but struggle to dive in and actually start roleplaying (people say "prep is play", but prep can also be a form of procrastination).
  • You struggle with "paradox of choice" and "analysis paralysis" - you read many rulesets and supplements, but can't choose one. You're looking for a simple game to help you get started.
  • You like games focused on storytelling, roleplay, and making up creative ideas (rather than crunchy mechanics).
  • You're busy and want a simple way to play short 5-10 minute games.
  • You're looking for a creative tool that will help you discover and develop worldbuilding and character ideas as you play.
