For the last few months I’ve been busy on various projects, but I’m pleased that this collection has been completed. I decided to base each roleplay on a person I knew and customize the scenario to their tastes. It has produced some very unique story lines that I think will be fun to play!
- Strictly Barnum – your character aims for the leading role in the famous musical version of PT Barnum’s life story.
- Bingo
Book Express – your character has a grand plan to combine buying a
fleet of used cars and deliver the bingo book orders in one epic trip
across the UK!
- Hiking
the Camino – from southern France to western Spain, this trip will take
plenty of endurance, spirit, and many drops of alcohol and non-eco
decisions if your not careful!
- The
Diplomat – the elections in Colombia are threatened by foul play from
Carlotta Gadhafi and her party. You are determined to ensure a fair
fight!
- Football:
A Town’s Tale – When a local team causes a stink by being too arrogant
and difficult to live with, you decide to bring back the old boys and
local park kids to teach them a lesson!
- Much Ado About EU – With the UK about to go down the EU drain, it’s up to you, a Shakespeare fanatic to ring in the changes at Westminster!
The system is simple; a single d6 die is used to roll for challenges and each challenge is based on two core stats (different for each story), such as Improvisation or Charm. There is an opportunity to use a second d6 for certain rolls depending on what items the player has decided their character has on them – this provides variation and improvisation to the game. The games were inspired by the wonderful one-pager games of Grant Howitt and choose-your-own-adventure books of Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone that I enjoyed playing in my younger days.
All of these single player RPGs are available on Drivethru RPG. If you do play, please let me know what you think.
