I have discussed random encounter tables for D&D before on this blog, and they are an integral part of my solo roleplaying kit.
Something I have been doing on a recent Dungeons & Dragons solo campaign is creating the random encounter table on the fly, as I explore and meet new monsters.

After you start solo roleplaying for a while you build up a lot of books, tables, and other resources.
And while a lot of SoloRPG gamers store these electronically, I prefer to have physical items to use as solo roleplaying.
It’s one way I can disconnect from computers, tables, and phones, and just lose myself in the story that unfolds.

In the vast world of tabletop gaming, where imagination knows no bounds and chance reigns supreme, there exists a whisper among enthusiasts – a legend that has captured the curiosity of dice collectors and adventurers alike – the Mystery Dice Sets by the enigmatic Mystery Dice Goblin.
There are so many excellent indie table-top roleplaying games and supplements out there – ones that don’t get a lot of press or love.
