Whether it’s games designed to be played solo (e.g. Colostle, Ironsworn, Thousand Year Old Vampire), or taking popular group roleplaying games like Dungeons & Dragons and adapting them to be played alone, solo-play ttrpg experiences can be immensely fun and rewarding, leading to stories and worlds filled with the nuance and surprise you’d expect only from a traditional “players vs game master” setup!
Hi there! I’m Mithun, and I’ll be running a workshop on solo-play tabletop role-playing games on June 2nd as part of our International Tabletop Day celebrations.
Note: Though I’d recommend doing this solo, you can actually do all of this as a pair! But make sure you’re on the same wavelength as your partner, since you’ll need to creatively support and build off each other extensively.
What you can expect to get out of this
- An intro to the styles of playing TTRPGs solo, and examples of games to try
- A quick look at some system-agnostic tools you can use to play games solo
- Splitting up based on what you’re interested in to start creating and playing!
- Guidance and assistance as you take your first steps into playing a ttrpg solo
- A boatload of resources for worldbuilding and solo play
What will we be playing?
- Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition:
– Playbooks (folks with all levels of experience)
– Freeform (players familiar with D&D)
Bring a level 2-4 character along, or use one of my pregenerated ones!If you happen to be attending Karthik’s D&D character creation workshop before this, you can use a character from there too!
- Colostle - Designed for solo play
What do you need to bring?
Nothing, other than your curiosity and creativity - and there will be tools to help with these if you’re not confident, too!
I’ll have stationery, paper, dice, playing cards (for Colostle), etc. but feel free to bring your own and possibly a nice notebook to journal in if you’d like!
