This is how I D&D
Solo Roleplaying is when you take a table-top roleplaying game like D&D and play it on your own. These articles help you do just that.
Given Dungeons & Dragons 3e has been around for 25 year this year, I thought it was time to bring back my D&D 3.0e campaign.
I started this campaign back in 2023 as a small dungeon crawl underneath the city-state of Myrbridge (you can find information about Myrbridge in Issue 42 of d12 Monthly).
The Dungeons & Dragons module B2: The Keep on the Borderlands is a classic adventure dating back to 1979.
It’s famous for being one of the first “sandbox” adventures and countless adventurers have explored the caves over the past decades.
One of the greatest parts of solo roleplaying (SoloRPG) as a way to play Dungeons & Dragons is the solo podcast storytelling that has grown out of it.
Here are 4 amazing story-telling podcasts where the dice are in control and even the creator doesn’t know what will happen.

This post is a continuation of the Darsildorf campaign. You can find the first, second, and third session reports on this site.
As a reminder, I’m using the classic map from the AD&D DMG for this delve, and have changed it to the old dwarven silver mine of Araz-Daan.

In the last session we saw our characters back in town after a difficult time in the dungeon.
This session kicks off with them heading back into the dungeon (where else would they go?) 🙂
The PCs keep with their original plan to check out the living areas of the mines first, and then tackle the mine itself later.

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.
We left our courageous adventurers back at the town of Darsildorf where they had to take Akzaan of Ashmount (the Mountain Dwarf fighter) to the local temple for rest after his near-death stabbing.

The Darsildorf Experiment is a campaign that I’m running as a solo roleplay, and I thought updates and notes on how I run my SoloRPG campaigns would be helpful.
I will be updating this as I play the campaign. So bookmark it and check back.
Here you will find two types of notes:
I will be using my homebrew version of B/X for this campaign. Continue reading “Darsildorf Experiment – Solo Roleplay Campaign (Session 1)”
Oracles are an essential part of solo roleplaying.
They fill in the role of GM to a large extent, throwing up additions to the evolving story as we probe and ask questions of the world and the events within.
There are a few well-known oracles that take up whole books, filled with tables and outcomes, but what I want to promote here is a very easy to use, and fast, oracle which is not only versatile, but also completely free.
It involves a simple D6.
