Daniel (@Dungeondive) shares a massive haul of RPG books collected over the past year, ranging from simple systems to complex, lore-heavy settings. While 2024 saw him focusing more on structured board games, the “pull” of solo RPGs is drawing him back, and this collection sets the stage for 2025. Highlights include:
- Adventurous: A simple, player-friendly D6 fantasy RPG with a streamlined dice pool system, perfect for beginners.
- Ruthless Heavens: A science-fantasy epic from Blackoath Entertainment, featuring detailed character progression and atmospheric worldbuilding.
- Forge: A rules-light engine packed with charts for random generation—ideal for solo play or GM-less sessions.
- Ecomofos: A post-apocalyptic, eco-punk survival game blending punk vibes, unique character creation, and solo tools.
- Outcast Silver Raiders: A blood-drenched, occult medieval OSR box set brimming with lore and brutal survival mechanics.
- Substratum Protocol: A unique solo+ RPG about scientists exploring a mysterious anomaly with exploration tools and oracle-based storytelling.
- The Stygian Library: A point-crawl dungeon adventure in extradimensional libraries, perfect for procedural solo play.
- Mothership: A robust sci-fi horror RPG complemented by Hull Breach and solo-compatible expansions.
- Troika Supplements: Acid Death Fantasy and Slate & Chalcedon expand the surreal setting with weird, modular adventures and backgrounds.
- Between the Skies: A stunning collection of charts and tables for creating vast, strange worlds—system-neutral and solo-friendly.
Daniel wraps up by asking viewers to prioritize which of these they’d like to see featured first, hinting at a year of rich solo RPG exploration ahead.
