You're missing out lads, it's fun as hell and you never really struggle as much with tard-wrangling players.

I'm inclined to agree, players are worst part of the hobby.
I'm writing a story and I'm seriously tempted to run parts of it as a solo campaign just because I want to use my tabletop shit again so bad...
Covid has killed live play here. Zooms legitimately prefer to play online
Yes, of course I don't have an infinite table.
I'm in a solo online game and it's fun but it's missing a lot. I got my start a few months ago doing it irl as GM and I prefer it though it's with some family members so i'm not as spergy and socially retarded as i'd be with strangers.
Nothing beats physical books and dice and playing with people in meatspace.
>he shitposts on /tg/ about how big of a no-game he is
I play every Friday and Saturday dumbo, what do you do other than suck down sperm?
Unironically my best experience as a player so far has been in a game with no other players, just me and the DM.
>masturbation is totally better than actual sex bro, trust me
Felatio is the thing that gets me off mostly. Vaginal intercourse is nice, but I've never nutted during it.
>how to say you're circumcised without saying you're circumcised
nta, I'm uncircumsized and feel the same way. If you've never had a girl pull your forekin back and fourth with her mouth you're missing out.
No, he means a game with one GM and one player, not just one person at the table altogether.
That's not what solo play means retard
It doesn't matter. It's very clear that's what OP means unless you think that he sometimes has to tard wrangle himself.
Well, if you "players" just stay there in missionary position waiting you to shove plotlines mechanically while denying anything more wild, "solo play" might be the better option...but the better one would be just finding some who really enjoys "rpgs"
I'm pretty sure he means one-on-one games anon.
That's not a solo game, it's a duet
Dumb wizard forgot to negate "does".
You're right about players though. Anyone insisting they're necessary just wants a social event rather than a game.
RPG equivalent of saying you dont need a companion cause you can just jerk off
solo playing is fun, dealing with lust is more like a physical need I need to satisfy to get back to stuff I wanna do
Showing that you get no games and no bitches.
Having a partner is more than just sex, tho you obviously only play with yourself in both contexts.
>play solo
>play groups
you do know you can do both, frogtard (in the same way one can masturbate alone when in couple... you did have been in couple, right)
both are fun in their own way, have different cons, and require different skills
So…day-dreaming a fanfic and integrating dice into it?
Yes. Which is exactly what you do when you play with a group as well, mr. norman the normaloid.
Is a solo game just writing a novel?
Is a group game just collaborating on a novel?
Not if you're playing a game.
>/tg/ is too retarded to know what solo session is
>OP is still humiliated by the fact people laugh at him for sucking off his GM for exp
>exp
Shit taste confirmed
As a GM that runs solo games, this is actually the main way my players level up.
Why not just play a CRPG?
Why don't group players play an MMO?
Careful, last time I posted about solo supremacy I got banned for a day.
Of course, banning me still won't change the fact players are completely useless.
but without players who will join me in the traditional post-game halo 4 splitscreen match? and who will pay for the rooted beers and pizza? And, without players, pray tell, who shall I torture with bizzare animated films from decades past?
You can do those things by themselves. I don't get these posts
>But if I don't have my homies sleeping in my bed with me, who will join me in the traditional post-game halo 4 splitscreen match? and who will pay for the rooted beers and pizza? And, without players, pray tell, who shall I torture with bizzare animated films from decades past?
Retard.
>halo 4
>Traditional
I think 10 years is long enough for something to become a tradition.
>10 years
Oh friend if you think that's bad, halo 3 was 16 years ago. Halo 2? 19. The OG halo? 22 years ago - over 2 decades.
DOOM, the original one? 30 years. It has been 30 years since the true advent of the FPS. That shit's almost as old as I am.
And that's nothing compared to tabletop games, the first edition of DND came out 50 fucking years ago. That's right, this year is the 50th anniversary of Dungeons and Dragons.
we also do the metal slug games if that helps.
>tard-wrangling
Railroading*
Only failed authors whine about players. Watching them act retarded is the highlight of Gming.
>you never really struggle as much with tard-wrangling players.
I keep finding interesting systems that I'd love to play and fuck around with, but I can barely get my friends to play a single game a week, let alone learn a new system. Even doing a one-shot is out of the question.
I should really just cave and take the solo pill already.
I'm currently running a cyberpunk game (Using Modern Age system) for my friends on weekends while running a solo Traveller space trucker game for myself.
I literally role played a Warmaster campaign all on my own with my low-born mercenary company captain becoming a count elector through wits and battles and it was one of the best tabletop experiences I had.
You play with other people, and an immersive wargame turns into RISK with more dumb rules.
It's like one-man chess, but with a story.
I think this could be smart for getting the feel of a system before running it for a group of players- I'm reading through Ironclaw2 right now and actually creating some characters and pitting them against each other is helping me far more than just rereading the book 50 times over.
That said, anyone here tried it? There are a few things I'm still not sure of, like if you add your Species die to your natural weapons (I'm pretty sure you do) but then if you add your Species die to a Parry roll with natural weapons if you have the Brawling Fighter gift.
I've never thought of that, but that's a profound realization if I've ever had one. Reading the book more than once and committing portions of the rules to memory is always good before you run a new system, but you will remember it far more if you actually get a chance to play and experience the rules directly. Solo play as a method of learning a system has a lot of potential.
based. i enjoy running my homebrew settings so much that ill run them purely for my biggest fan
I'd like to try it sometime, i'm in one right now as a player online. It's been pretty cool. I want to try it irl with someone though, as GM.
