A Solo Game Engine BETA
 |
(BETA-Get involved and shape the game!) Some tales best unfold ALONe.
ALONe (A Lonesome October Night) is a solo game engine designed specifically to support role playing with only one player and no Game Master.
Whether you want to play a cunning streetrat surviving by their wits¸ a demigod raising an immortal army to storm the walls of heaven¸ or a mercenary warrior who just wants to live through their next campaign¸ ALONe can help you tell your story.
ALONe makes use of the GameMaster's Apprentice cards¸ and so includes with it the instructions for those cards and a black-and-white¸ PnP preview of the genre-neutral GameMaster's Apprentice deck¸ half the length of the full set. More stories can be told with the full deck of cards¸ or with the addition of the genre-specific decks¸ also available from DriveThru.
March 2020 Update: Version 4 is live! Also: Stay home and game!This most recent update includes a TON of new content¸ and is almost entirely re-organized to flow better and include more detailed examples when necessary. It also represents what I believe to be the final version of the rules! Barring editing¸ this is ready to begin layout--not that feedback would be unwelcome!
Highlights include:
- Living campaign worlds with recurring cast members¸ plot threads¸ and so on!
- Spontaneous conversations and dialogue with NPCs!
- An adventure-creation framework to make it easy to build both short- and long-term content!
- And a ton of edits!
