Collection: Solo Role Playing Games

A TTRPG is an extension of RPG, which stands for role-playing game. RPG is most commonly used to refer to video RPGs, such as Balders Gate, Fallout and World of War Craft to name a few.

Leaving TTRPG for the Table-Top role-playing games, or analogue games (non-video).

All RPGs embody character creation and are story lead, whether played online as part of a MMORPG or with the theatre of the mind with TTRPGs. They are all a form of collective story telling.

Solo TTRPGs (tabletop roleplaying games) are part storytelling game, part creative writing ritual—and you don’t need a group or Game Master to play. Instead, you become the player and the storyteller, guided by prompts, dice rolls, card draws, or other random elements that shape your character’s journey.

Think journaling meets improv. You might be writing letters from a lighthouse keeper, logging the final days of an astronaut, or mapping a forgotten world—one story beat at a time.

Perfect for:

• Writers and creatives looking to shake up their routine
  
• RPG fans who want to explore character and story solo
  
• Anyone who loves the idea of making something personal, strange, and beautiful
  

Whether you’re new to TTRPGs or a seasoned GM looking for a quiet adventure, solo games are a powerful tool for creative discovery. No rules lawyers, no scheduling. Just you, a few prompts, and a story that unfolds in real time.

These vary depending on the mechanical choice of the games creator. The mechanic will be chosen based on how it best serves the story telling of the RPG.

GM-less rpgs will use rollable tables to create prompts, or a deck of playing cards or tarots to act as Oracles within the game.

The short answer is no.

The Fighting Fantasy books were created by Sir Ian Livingstone and Steve Jackson (not to be confused with the US games designer of the same name), in 1982.
