Turtlerock Harbor and the Savage Cargo

SoloRPG post Turtlerock Harbor and the Savage Cargo from patreon

It has been a long and arduous journey on a ship that was far too cramped for your liking. Unfortunately, your afternoon of merriment in the Lazy Buccaneer is interrupted by the sound of terrified screaming!
You blink against the sun’s glare as you step unto the busy docks. A green streak plummets down from the sky to drag a sailor up into the air!

SoloRPG post Devious Tinkering - solo and prepless trap handling from patreon

Heya, everyone,

Hope you enjoyed creating little dungeon ecosystems for your solo adventures with Sewers of Siltmire last week.

This week's upload is based on Martijn Jansen's creative suggestion 'unpredictable traps'! Trap handling is always a tricky subject in solo gaming, as it can be hard to emulate the kin...

Sewers of Siltmire - prepless dungeon ecology

SoloRPG post Sewers of Siltmire - prepless dungeon ecology from patreon

The vast network of sewer canals underneath the seaport city of Siltmire has grown infamous over the years. Not only because of the constant sewer flooding during bad weather but also because of the horrid dangers lurking in its dismal passages.
Dead sailors and other discarded remains float uneasily through the black sludge underneath the seaport. Bloated animated forms shamble in the da...

Spires of Hydraxis - The storm surged city

SoloRPG post Spires of Hydraxis - The storm surged city from patreon

At the dawn of time, the spires of the Hydraxian city-state loomed over the ancient world as a prideful bastion of civilization. A cruel people, they had grown unconcerned with right and wrong in their obsession with power.
They enslaved or eradicated any who dared oppose them and conducted monstrous experiments on those too weak to resist their military and magical might. View Post

SoloRPG post The Lyrical Gnome and the Secret of the Dumplings from patreon

The Lyrical Gnome is a well-known roadside inn along the southern trade route. It offers respite from the loneliness of the road in the form of delicious meat dumplings, soft pillows, and unfortunately, remarkably horrendous entertainment.

Noteworthy Tavern Patrons and their often not-so-secret plans

SoloRPG post Noteworthy Tavern Patrons and their often not-so-secret plans from patreon

Heya, everyone,

I hope you all had fun getting to the bottom of the stone cube in It Came from the Outer Planes!

I've been running a few solo games in the format of a 'tavern procedural', which I guess is like a police/detective procedural tv show, only in the form of hopping from tavern to tavern solving and causing problems.

It came from the Outer Planes!

SoloRPG post It came from the Outer Planes! from patreon

One day, it was if the massive stone Cube had always been there, hanging precariously to one side as if dropped unto the countryside by some careless giant hand.
After the Cube appeared in a flash of dark light, strange rumors soon surfaced. These were wild stories about a single entrance into mysterious depths far greater than the cube’s size would suggest, and large cracks in its pock...

Molly Murder

Every year, the small lakeside village of Manikin celebrates the traditional Festival of Charming Molly. This joyous day of celebration ends with each family placing a similar delicate red-haired toy doll in front of their house, to absorb any lingering evil or bad luck. 
The old custom is said to have originated over a hundred years ago when cruel fey folk preyed on the innocent children of Mani...

"Utha Pahaad, the ancient fortress-city, lies nestled between two great mountains overlooking the surrounding jungle. Its battered walls bear the imposing likeness of Raktapaat the Living Mountain, the avatar of war and bloodshed, and its erstwhile protector.
Each morning, the Maharaja sends out tired builders to repair the damage done to the high stone walls and bronze gates. For in the ...

Dungeon Crawling - published modules

SoloRPG post Dungeon Crawling - published modules from patreon

In solo roleplaying players often strive to create situations where they are surprised by their own results or conclusions, while still being able to interpret these within the context of their unfolding story.
This principle promotes an experience where story context is somewhat loosely defined, or at least free to evolve within relatively few constraints of setting or plot. View Post

Heya, everyone!

I hope life is treating you well wherever you are. This week's upload is a one-page dungeon inspired by Jim's suggestion 'berks and cutters' (Planescape). I decided to use the larger Planescape theme and a cool dungeon map I had lying around for a while now!

While the answer to that question is really personal and can go in a thousand different directions ...
