I recently played a small campaing with Cairn and I enjoyed what these systems with a few abilities achieve. Barrow Delver is a nice set of solo rules for it.
Mausritter is a great intro to the “OSR spirit”: due to the player being a mouse, you won’t be a hero for long if you run straight to every dangerous situation. Einzelmaus exists to play it solo.
That’s a pretty good point. Time to read it again! (and this time I’ll play it)
Mausritter is a mix of some easy systems, very “kid friendly”, it actually won some awards because of it. The Tiny D6 systems are also good and easy to learn: two dice, if you have an attribute that helps, use three.
It depends on the amount of roleplay vs journaling you would like to try. My first try was with D100 and Four against the Darkness, but they were closer to a boardgame from my point of view. After that I tried Scarlet Heroes, one of the best solo rules and tables to play any classic DND game. Or anything, the tables and oracles can be used in a lot of different games. Now, the standard suggestion is Ironsworn because it’s great and easy to play (although the book is big, everything is variations of one move). OH, did I mention it’s free?
And then you can find Mythic GME 2ed, probably the best tool available to play any TTRPG solo. It’s really worth it, but there are others easier to understand (I’d suggest One Page Solo Engine).
It depends on what you’d like to play: What setting? Where would you put the focus? More throwing dice? More journaling? Adventures? Epic fantasy? Sci-fi?
I agree. Once you get how it works, the rythm is interesting. I have seen some people complaining about the big book with lots of rules (moves), but actually is just the same one again and again: 2D10 vs 1D6+modifiers
I can’t pick just one band, however, I clearly remember the first time I listened to
I’m sure there are more if I think for longer.
