Welcome to the SoloRPG community!

Some people prefer to play their tabletop roleplaying games alone, to avoid the drama and scheduling issues of traditional group games, while others play solo because they're unable to find a group to play with.

Whatever your case may be, you're more than welcome here to discuss your experiences as well as ask any questions that you might have.

For an introduction to this style of play, read Why Play Roleplaying Games Alone.

I'm trying out Mythic Game Master Emulator with Dungeon World. I've only done a few sessions of game setup but I'm already very impressed with the GME. I'd love to hear from you if you have thoughts or questions about solo roleplaying in general, Mythic in particular, or even just tabletop roleplaying in general.

If you're interested in hearing it played, I would highly recommend the podcast "Spout Lore". They, in my opinion, are the platonic ideal of how to play a PbtA game, which is to mostly ignore the rules and bang them into a shape that fits the fiction, rather than the other way around. PbtA games are meant to be unbalanced, I think, because fiction tends to favor the protagonists.
