Would anyone here be willing to help me. I'm looking into redoing my Your Guide to Playing Alone and once redone would like people to see what you like/dislike/want to add (or remove).

In doing this I would be open to helping you in return (with anything within reason).

Thanks,

Did it ever happen to you to be drawn to roll dice when you do not have to, just in order to "use" the RPG you selected for your solo session?

I just understood that I did just that.
I am playing with 9Qs, quasi-Star Wars session. In Q1, my heroes landed on the just terraformed planet, just to discover that their old opponent is a planetary Governor there, which is part of his punishment for his failure that occurred during his last meeting with my PCs (all this decided by Mythic and Rory's Story Cubes). So, my heroes decided to test if they can disguise themselves and mingle unnoticed among planet population (a Sith lord and 3 stormtrupers to stay unnoticed among population of newly terraformed planet? Very unlikely). Of course, PCs failed miserably, but they will later discover that governor of the planet does not care that they have arrived, and that nobody is trying to kill them or something.
This left me wondering, why did I tested at all? I could first ask if someone is looking for PCs and then test if necessary. The only answer I could give to myself is that I did not want to finish Q1 without any PC tests, which I could do without a problem. I simply rushed myself. Do you have similar experiences? Any advices?

How do you actually write down your solo rpg session?

How do you actually write down your solo rpg session?

How much do you write down? Novel style or just a few pointers? Do you use a txt file (or similar) or a physical notebook? Can you give me an example?

I'm asking because I always have problems with this. I don't want to write a novel but if I don't write down anything it doesn't feel like roleplaying at all.

With your help I made a list of solo systems/games/engines and other useful tools.

If you want to add something, drop me a line and I'll add it to the list.

[^1]: I abandoned the Google Doc because it was a hassle to keep two lists and you had to sort and it all manually. My wordpress blog has a link library which is easier for me.
