My solo ICRPG set up

Hey everyone!
I wanted to share my own solo ICRPG set-up. Having never played (or even thought to play) an RPG solo, I thought that one of my favorite systems [ICRPG] would be the perfect jumping off. Admittedly, I only managed to play for three hours so far but I think my system is really working well. However, I haven’t encountered any combat so I intend to report back when that happens.


Pictured above is how I have my set up organized.


So this is everything! In the left box are 27 Rory’s story cubes, the original 3 sets. I’m hoping to cop the Fantasia set soon too as well. Everytime I want something unknown in the game, I randomly select 3 and roll them. I then arrange them in the order I think makes the most sense for the current situation.

I got the idea from the fantastically helpful https://boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/227410/olafs-vision-rev-plays-tales-loop.

I also have my bullet journal and a good pen, as well as the character sheet and a set of RPG dice. I also have a set of DIY fudge dice which I use when ever I need to answer a yes/no question. I use this chart:

And below are a couple of pages from my notebook:

I intend to utilize the excellent Index cards as well when I get the time to print them out.

I would be happy to answer any questions y’all have.

Thanks for reading :slight_smile:

Great modifications to the game.

One obvious question: Do you play solo because you don’t have any friends interested in playing with you online or offline, or do you do that because you like it that way?

I love this. Very inspiring!


#4

I love how you are using the Fate dice! I will borrow that as needed for my Solo RPGing!


#5

Both! Nowadays, especially with school going on with full steam, I lack the energy to drive over and spend long hours playing. I’ve come to like the modular nature of Solo RPGing, and that I can chip away at the narrative whenever I feel like without having to commit too fully.

Aw thanks! All credit goes to the one and only Uncle Reverend Bastard!

This looks good! I’ve used ICRPG before to play solo and a 2p GM-less game. I have to say that both were really fun due to the versatility of the system. Really enjoyed both!

That’s really cool!

I have a play-by-post game that I am GMing. Since I can’t GM an in-person game at the moment. I love how flexible the ICRPG system is.

For sure. ICRPG is so flexible which is something I love.
