The topic of solo RP comes up quite often in my Mastodon feed, and when it does it's always in the context of "which (digital) tools do you use to facilitate your solo play?"

I hate computers. I hate them with the kind of passion people usually reserve for war criminals. (Of course the fact I consider most software to be a literal crime against humanity helps stoke that fury.) I like to keep computers *out* of my entertainment. Thus it is that my solo RP set is almost purely analogue.

When I solo RP this is my kit. A bamboo box. Within it the dice I need for the game being played, a (fountain) pen, a(n eternal) pencil and eraser. A fancy-schmancy notebook (that is Frankensteined together from various pieces), some little illustrations that I use for inspiration (taped/glued into the notebook when they're used), and a selection of fancy bookmarks.

I journal in a style I've used since middle school that some software kiddie reinvented and gave the name "Bullet Journal" to because that crowd has no sense of history. (Kind of like the "story game" crowd, in that regard.) And currently, in this C&S game I'm soloing (as you can see from the printed Solitude rules set), the only digital element is that the rules for the game are in my phone because I can't afford to buy the rules and have them shipped to China.

This changes this summer, however, as I have guests coming from Canada and I've asked them to pick up the rules. And that box is likely just the right size to hold those as well! Then my solo RP will be analogue only!

I've been her for a while, but I can do an #introduction post. My name is Phil. I'm a DevOps Engineer who does way more than I should such as monitoring and development and infrastructure.
I also like to play and lead #RPG games such as #DnD or Old-School Essentials, or Genesys or FATE. Currently doing a #solorp because I have a few systems I want to play in but not many of the people I know are interested.
I also enjoy normal human stuff. Outdoors, sports, shooting, walking, animals.

Once I am done with church and Easter today, and family dinner, I'm going to crack out the #FoundryVTT and work on my #SoloRP of #GenesysRPG with #Destiny. I was rooting with the idea of using #Fate as well.
