Ive heard of dnd players playing solo but like how does that work compared to with a party? i dont really have anyone to play with and i dont really like online games of dnd, but for real how do you play solo becasue it looks hard but also interesting.

another dumb question but do player sell there dnd notes, is that a real thing becasue ive wonderd if dnd players actually do that or if its just a joke.

as you can tell ive only played dnd a few times and that was with a few horrible partys or ones that just gave up after one session, so im kinda a noob and i love player the most crazy classes or a wizard/magic user. also wher eis a good place to find free custom rpg content for games such as dnd?

    I love playing solo! It’s a different experience versus playing with a group though. Check out Me Myself and Die on YouTube for a good example, although keep in mind he keeps it tightly edited so you don’t always see his full thought process.

    You can play D&D and similar games solo but they usually require some help and extra tools to do so. Might I point you towards the !solorpg@lemm.ee community? They might be able to answer questions and help you get started if you want to give it a try.

    I have never attempted to play D&D solo, but I have discovered other RPG’s that are designed to be. Ironsworn and Starforged are both built for the solo adventurer.

        I picked up the PDF’s from DrivethruRPG and use them on my tablet. That seems to be the cheapest way. I print out the pages I want to reference quickly and usually that’s enough for me.

    I’m not a DnD player, but it’s my understanding that you usually have a DM to guide the session and write/improvise the story that your players experience and react to. I don’t know if that’s possible in DnD by yourself, but you might be able to something like Gloomhaven, which had the DM and story built into the game. Then you’re free to enjoy the story that it’s created from a player perspective.
