Dive into Solo Roleplaying and complete your first adventure!

  • 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. It is a storytelling system that will help you master the art of solo roleplaying, storytelling, and inventing creative ideas in an easy, fun, non-overwhelming way.

In seven steps, you will complete your first mini-adventure. You will start roleplaying in minutes, finish the game quickly, and see how simple and straightforward solo roleplaying can be.

As you play, you’ll learn a simple, novice-friendly, zero-prep, step-by-step framework for improvising fun storytelling-focused adventures, one 10-minute scene at a time.

Then, you will learn more advanced frameworks that make it easy to create a series of longer adventures and campaigns:

  • Learn how to turn a series of simple scenes into a mission-driven adventure.
  • Learn a simple process for improvising mysteries from scratch, with no preparation.
  • Use this game as a creative tool to discover weird, absurd, and interesting ideas as you play. Invent fun characters and build an imaginary world as you journey through it.

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.
  • 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 stretch your creative muscles by playing short 5-10 minute games.
