Okay, I've tried 18 solo journaling "RPGs." I liked 5.
I don't recall the title of one; I played online and can't find it in my browser history. 😥
Three I like: 32 Percent, House Spirit, and Urban Legend Club.
One I like with qualifiers: Wandering Library. I think it needs a little something to give it a sense of structure and potential closure, but I respect it, and in particular respect how it respects the player.
I think I've finally settled on this as the interface for my #SoloRPG toolkit.
It's got its own website now, which is nice. Should work in all browsers, needs JavaScript enabled (because, I mean, do you want to send a web request every time you need to roll a die?)
Obviously you could use this for "non-solo" #TTRPG as well, but it sort of came out of my need for something compact that I can have on my phone or laptop while I'm out and about and doing #journalinggame s
I just realized how I can easily summarize my recent breakthrough with #soloRPG mental attitude, that I named to myself "My Golden Rule of solo roleplaying":
Don't let a roll (or any other game rule/mechanic) make you disappointed or anxious.
