If those names are new to you, no worries—here’s the gist! TTRPGs are cooperative storytelling games where players create characters and go on adventures together. Typically, one player takes on the role of the Game Master (GM), guiding the story and interpreting the rules that determine actions, outcomes, and challenges.

As you play, your group builds a shared story full of suspense, humor, unexpected twists, and the occasional dramatic consequence. It’s part game, part improv, and all about creativity and collaboration.

TTRPGs have exploded in popularity in recent years—and for good reason! They’re an amazing outlet for creativity, problem-solving, storytelling, character design, and even a little bit of acting. No two games are ever the same.

Why Try a Solo TTRPG?

TTRPGs are usually thought of as group experiences—and they often are—but there’s a whole world of adventures designed just for one player!

Solo TTRPGs offer a flexible, creative way to enjoy the hobby on your own terms. If you’ve ever wondered, “Why would I role-play alone?”—here are a few great reasons:

Skill Building:
Solo play is a fantastic way to learn game mechanics, pacing, and tone. It’s especially helpful for new players who want to build confidence before joining a group.

Flexibility:
Coordinating schedules can be tough. Solo RPGs let you play whenever you want, for as long as you want—no scheduling headaches required.

Freedom:
Chase wild ideas, follow your curiosity, and explore unusual story paths. There’s no need to compromise—the story is entirely yours.

Self-Discovery & Community:
Solo play isn’t about replacing group games—it’s about learning what you enjoy. Discover your preferred playstyle, pacing, and storytelling approach. And when you come together with others, you’ll have even more to share!

Self-Care:
Solo RPGs can be a relaxing and reflective experience. You can even explore real-life challenges through storytelling, gaining new perspectives along the way.

Creativity:
You’re crafting your own journey within a guided framework. It’s structured enough to keep you moving forward, but open enough to let your imagination run wild.

What to Expect from Our Single Player TTRPG Club!

Our Solo TTRPG Club is a unique twist on a traditional game night—think of it like a book club, but instead of reading the same story, everyone is playing their own!

Single player or solo tabletop roleplay games (TTRPGs) are a unique roleplaying experience designed for one player. Most solo TTRPGs offer a more introspective and immersive story meant to be enjoyed at your own leisure. There’s no assignment of a traditional Game Master, and the book will provide you with the guidance you need.

Individually journal your responses to prompts and join in to discuss your adventures in a book club style roleplaying session at Gnome Games Green Bay East.

Players are encouraged to participate however best suits them – journaling, bullet point lists, prose, sketches, or whatever else that fits!

Be Like a Crow is a solo (or two-player) role-playing game where you take on the role of a clever corvid exploring a strange and fascinating world.

Play as a crow, raven, rook, jackdaw, or magpie as you travel through one of six unique settings—urban, cyberpunk, steampunk, fantasy, gothic, or even the Tower of London! Along the way, you’ll complete objectives, encounter other creatures, and collect all sorts of weird and wonderful items.

Our first session will be May 16th 2pm and will continue on Saturdays at 2pm!
