• MQGA-32p (FREE) a full solo-rpg universal system in 32 pages, based on a set of special cards (available to print & play), including also several sample game settings with specific Oracles (S&S fantasy, scifi, high-school comedy, etc.)

• The Adventurer: Space Between the Stars a journalling game for a single player about drifting quietly from planet to planet through the great black expanse
• Let it Roll (Free) a quick setup, ultra lite rules, roleplaying game, for anyone who wants to play more by their imagination instead of using complicated math and continuous table searching

This is a list of resources for solo role-playing.

I was looking for a list of solo engines and resources some years ago. Unfortunately, I found none.
That’s why I started this list at the G+ Lone Wolf community and completed it with the help of others.

If you know of a resource that is not listed yet, you can shoot me an email.

Want to know how to get started with solo role-playing? I wrote a short blogpost that covers the essentials. There is also a beginner-friendly guide by Spencer Salyer. John Yorio has an excellent in-depth tutorial in several blog posts. I recommend this for a better understanding of solo role-playing.
Lino Pang also offers Solo RPG Tips that are worth a read.

Update: check out this video from 2024 by geek gamers on How to Solo RPG.

Update 2: With the demise of Google+, the Solo Roleplaying Reddit seems to be the most useful public place to gather online.

Please note that some links below are affiliate links. A small portion of the sale goes to my account credit at OneBookshelf and allows me to buy new games. THANK YOU!
There is no drawback for you. If you still don’t want to support my blog, you can delete the last part of the link, “?affiliate_id=330920”. Just imagine my sad face…
