Solo TTRPGs, or Solo Tabletop Roleplaying Games, require a gamer to play by themself using a preplanned module and their choice of writing utensil(s). Games are either modified to fit the needs and limitations of only one player (such as D&D, Vampire: The Masquerade, or Brindlewood Bay) or specifically created to be enjoyed by yourself (e.g., Thousand Year Old Vampire, The Wretched, Apothecaria/Apawthecaria).
