My Dungeon World game in Eberron continues. The party heads to the frontier country of Q'barra, but finds that House Tharashk are there ahead of them.

Yeah, I know - but I wanted to find out what happened next...

Another Scarlet Heroes solo wilderness adventure. The next adventure will be a dungeon adventure in the ruined lizardfolk town of Sketh.

These notes I made to run DW could turn out to be useful to run it solo as well.

Made using the same system as the Million Moons of Manza. Solo play might be more tricky since there's a political element.

So I can finally share my WiP Samurai RPG. It's based on a combination of The Black Hack and some classic Samurai games. This document is going to form the core of a free book, and I'm going to Kickstart the premium version (more clans, ryu and setting). Please comment below or in the document what you think!

Okay, in celebration of the new upcoming additions to the "Potterverse" (The Cursed Child and the Fantastic Beasts film), I feel like running a solo HP game. Currently I am leaning towards using Broomstix and Kauldrons for the actual system and tossing a bunch of random tables and generators at it. But I am not sure if another system made more for solo play would work better and am not sure what generators and oracles to use. Could any of you fine folk offer advise for what tools would work well with a Hogwarts-set game?

Could any of you fine folk offer advise for what tools would work well with a Hogwarts-set game?

Things I am looking for:
-Easy to learn/ keep up with system that works WITH solo play rather than against it.
-A quick way to make npcs that seem to fit in the universe and the ability to learn more about them and what actions they might take. (Communication and interaction will be a big part of the game)
-A system that can handle the ideas of the spells and potions without making something too over powerful or weak.
-Oracles/Generators/Random tables that I might need that would fit the overall theme of the game/universe.

Thank you for any advice you may offer.
