Ive heard of dnd players playing solo but like how does that work compared to with a party? i dont really have anyone to play with and i dont really like online games of dnd, but for real how do you play solo becasue it looks hard but also interesting.
another dumb question but do player sell there dnd notes, is that a real thing becasue ive wonderd if dnd players actually do that or if its just a joke.
as you can tell ive only played dnd a few times and that was with a few horrible partys or ones that just gave up after one session, so im kinda a noob and i love player the most crazy classes or a wizard/magic user. also wher eis a good place to find free custom rpg content for games such as dnd?
I love playing solo! It’s a different experience versus playing with a group though. Check out Me Myself and Die on YouTube for a good example, although keep in mind he keeps it tightly edited so you don’t always see his full thought process.
You can play D&D and similar games solo but they usually require some help and extra tools to do so. Might I point you towards the [email protected] community? They might be able to answer questions and help you get started if you want to give it a try.
thank you for the comunity, ive been on lemmy for around a wek so im kind anew.
Yes. You use a GM emulator like Mythic. A GM emulator is basically a bunch of random tables you use to help you answer questions you’d normally ask the GM.
Some of the older adventures (AD&D, first and second edition) were written as single-player modules, kind of like the adventure game books of the same historical era. They’re sort of like Choose Your Own Adventure books, but with RPG engines bolted onto the side controlling some of the paths taken.
There is RPG more suited to played solo than D&D.
I have never attempted to play D&D solo, but I have discovered other RPG’s that are designed to be. Ironsworn and Starforged are both built for the solo adventurer.
Slight adjacent to the topic, I wonder if Chat AI would ever be good at this sort of thing. Chat based adventure or pbp style 🤔
It um, kind of can! It took a bit of effort, but I got it to come up with a character and roleplay it, and then Lyra Moonshadow and I went on an adventure together!
