Solo D&D
A tad fed up with scheduling conflicts with my play group, i decided to just go ahead and play D&D without them. I rolled up a party of characters, equipped them, and set them into a dungeon, randomly generating it as i go, all the while writing a journal from the "main" party members vantage point in and between dungeon crawls. Essentially, I've been playing AD&D solo.
Has anyone else ever done anything like this? Ide like to think that I'm not crazy, and would be interested to see what anyone has to say on the idea.

Re: Solo D&D
Solo adventures are a thing. They read a bit like those Choose-Your-Own-Adventure books, though. There's also a book called the Game Master Emulator. I haven't tried it myself, but it exists. Lastly, a few people here have recently taken up playing RPGs with Cleverbot, but it's not good for much more than a few laughs.
It occurs to me that computer RPGs were made to fill this void, however...

That's awesome! I hear there's a tool out there called the Mythic GM Emulator that's basically designed to help you do this.

How about this - a website that acts as a virtual GM? http://www.rpgsolo.com/play.php
I spent an hour on the edge of dreams,
I walked between the worlds,
and when I woke I never knew
to which side I had fallen

Re: Solo D&D
I get my fix of this with Stone Soup Dungeon Crawl, <3 it
Just in case, in any game I've applied to without being selected: DMs are more than welcome to use my submission as an NPC as they wish!
Huge thanks to Howl for puting some Boomstick in my avatar

Yes, people have done it before; no, you're not crazy. Originally Posted by Delvin Darkwood

It was in fact the first published article on running an adventure, pre-dating the use of published modules, and has impeccable credentials.
