You're relentlessly positive, dude.Some would consider that a huge win! See, RPGs can be art.

In that case, you may be excited to know that Deathtrap Dungeon is getting another sequel this fall, for its 40th anniversary.I found mythic utterly worthless for me.
My preferred mode for solo is numbered paragraph modules, preferably with an rpg ruleset rather than just choices.
Random rolls and random tables. That should get you over that particular obstacle.I've tried both Ironsworn and Thousand Year-Old Vampire, but it just isn't clicking for me so far, despite liking the design of both games. I just haven't quite found a way around the Czege Principle yet.
Not particularly; I never got into the Fighting Fantasy line... nor Lone Wolf. Just weren't available when I was looking where I was.In that case, you may be excited to know that Deathtrap Dungeon is getting another sequel this fall, for its 40th anniversary.
Got it, haven't read it deeply yet, but it's mechanically just STA minus the talents on the actions side of things.There’s also Captain’s Log, the solo Star Trek game. I like some of the rules, but they’re still too crunchy for my tastes and not focused enough on actually producing something like a coherent story.
Oh, that reminds me... At one point I wound up with a narrative generating dice game about members of the oldest profession with addictions to rock coke. It's got a little bit of choice making, and it's very depressing... as it probably should be. It got about 1/2 an hour of play... and I felt icky playing it...Random rolls and random tables.

Sure, I do see that as one solution, and I'm going to give it a good try. But without getting too far into my own hangups, I do tend to find excessive randomness frustrating in RP, perhaps because of the chance of things like having the game end up being about prostitutes with a need for hard Bolivian marching powder (harder? I suppose regular coke is a pretty hard drug to begin with).Random rolls and random tables. That should get you over that particular obstacle.
The mobile/Steam app is an excellent way to play, although they only have about a dozen titles and you can buy each book a la carte. (I think they give you one for free.)Not particularly; I never got into the Fighting Fantasy line... nor Lone Wolf. Just weren't available when I was looking where I was.
And I discovered that PDF is less than optimal for playing them. (I got a bundle of FF titles in PDF, including AFF... which said bundle was cheaper than AFF alone...)
