"Tabletop RPGs are a great way to socialise, play, and imagine with your
friends, but it’s hard to find the time to play regularly. Whether the D&D
group you started during the pandemic isn’t meeting as often, or you’re simply
looking for a new way to get your dice-rolling fix, I have a possible solution
for you: solo TTRPGs.
Now, I can imagine some TTRPG players may be sceptical of the idea. Sitting
around a table (or a Discord call) with your friends, embodying fantasy
characters, and co-creating your own stories are the best parts of tabletop
RPGs.
And while it’s true the social element is lost when playing by yourself, as I
have come to discover over the last few weeks, solo RPGs are just as fun and
imaginative as any other TTRPG. It’s just a different experience — one that
combines the tactile feel of dice rolls and imagination-driven approach of
group-based tabletop gaming, with the pick-up-and-play nature of single-player
video games.
Solo TTRPGs are also a great way for new (or introverted) players to dip their
toes into tabletop gaming without having to put a whole group together and
spend hours setting everything up. And since many of these games can be
completed in just a few hours, they take minimal time investment (compared to
group campaigns that can last weeks or months),
and you can play at your own
pace.
The most important part is finding the right game."
